I fished the dirty canals of
Northern California with my father as a kid. We mostly caught catfish and carp
in these dirty ditches and watched as my dad and uncles would keep their
catches and cook them for dinner. We would evolve into river fishing the
Sacramento for striper and that fish became and still is my favorite.
When I became a teenager I chose
partying and getting into trouble over fishing and it is a choice I regret.
Nonetheless I always had a fascination with fishing, with water, with ditches
and streams. I would catch myself staring at them every chance I had.
As an adult I decided to pick the
rod and reel back up in 2010. Since then I have become a devoted angler, out on
the water every chance i get. I also picked up fly fishing in 2013 and I absolutely love it. I am a warm water and cold water fisherman; a
spin reel fisher as well as a fly fisher. My
goal is to learn to catch every type of fresh water fish out there.
