I have 4 children, three sons (28,26,24) and one daughter (19). I've been married 29 years to my wife Chris and we reside in Richmond Kentucky. I am a sales representative for a construction supply company in central Kentucky. I am 49 years young, chasing my life dream, and having a ball. Fishing has been my passion since i was old enough to walk. When I was a youngster we lived next to a reservoir in Ohio. My mothers favorite picture was one of me when I was 3,in the backyard in a harness attached to a clothesline. She said she had to keep me on a short leash, because whenever she turned her back I was "gone fishin" down at the lake. (Some things never change :) With the children now grown, I have begun competitive fishing 2 years ago. My home lake would be Cumberland, and some of my other favorites are Kentucky Lake, as well as Douglas & Cherokee in East Tennessee. My favorite technique is jigging and Vertical's Jig X is "the bomb". If you've not tried one yet, tie one on...you'll be hooked! If I can ever be of any help to anyone...just holler.
