Fishing Information

From bluegills to bluefins, I just plain love to fish. My most memorable catches include a 120-pound tarpon (Costa Rica), a 400-pound Blue marlin (Panama), a 300-pound Black marlin (Panama), a 360-pound Tiger shark (Florida), an 11-pound bonefish (Turks & Caicos), an 8-pound largemouth bass (Michigan), a 31-pound muskie (Canada) and my proudest fishing day of all -- a Pacific Grand Slam (sailfish, Blue marlin and Black marlin all in the same day). UPDATE 9/02: My son Ben has been awarded an IGFA JUNIOR WORLD RECORD for his Panamanian Roosterfish! A picture of the fish is in the LBF Trophy Gallery (see photo menu on the lower right of this page).

Personal Background

Married since 1987; Two kids -- Ben (who's becoming an angling star in his own right) and Jessica (who, at 4 years old, recently caught her first fish -- a 2-pound catfish).

Boat Information

Boat name: Tiburon
A 16' Alumacraft. Nothing special (and none too pretty!), but she's led me to more freshwater fish than I could possibly count... and she's only capsized once!
