Personal Information:
I was born in the great state of Tennessee. I grew up fishing with my grandfather, he is the one that got me hooked on fishing and taught me to have a great respect for the outdoors. After graduating from high school, I joined the United States Army. I spent the next 22 years traveling the world and fishing every chance I got. I was lucky enough to fish in many diferent countries for all types of fish. From Sharks to Peacock Bass.
I retired from the US Army in the Ft. Campbell KY area, finally settling in Indian Mound TN, which is located near the Cumberland River. I got hooked on fishing for Trophy Sized Catfish and the rest is history. I have been guiding for Trophy Sized Catfish for the last 12 years. At the present time I have over 600 cats in the 50lb plus range in my boat, with my personal best of 92lbs.
I take great pride in the fact that I try my hardest to put my clients on a Trophy Sized Catfish. Each trip is catered to the clients deisires. Whether it is just to catch a big cat or learning how to read a depth finder, reading a river or learning the techniques used to catch bigger fish. I spend a average of 4 days a week on the water, seeking that one big bite.
I also fish local tournaments and some of the Bass Pro Big Cat Quest and Cabellas tournaments.
OUTDOOR WRITING/TV SHOWS:
I have written several articles for various magazines relatiing to catfishing. I have also been quoted in In-Fisherman, Catfish Gold and have several articles written in various newspapers. I also did a show for Outdoor Life Network.
PUBLIC SPEAKING:
I have had the great opportunity to speak at several schools and local Catfishing clubs. I have met with local and national officials many times. I was very active in the recent effort to instill regulations on the conservation of our Trophy Catfish in Tennessee. We finally got a law passed that allows a angler to keep only one catfish that is 34' or longer, and commercial fisherman may not keep any 34" or longer. This law is a great step in preserving these great cats.
CONCLUSION:
I have experience in many areas that can benefit your products. I continually work to improve and pursue a more prominent place in the fishing world using the latest available resources. especially the Internet, where I maintain an extensive website (www.trophycatfishing.com) with over 42,000 hits a year, that is devoted to the sport of fishing for Trophy Sized Catsfish.
I work hard to be a good, decent person and to set a positive ethical and personal example. I hope my actions speak for themselves. But I am strongly vocal when I support and believe in something. I believe I can bring extra value to your product in many ways, in return for your support. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 931-237-4999.
