How often do you go? I do most of my fishing in the winter time. I try to go at least once or twice a week. As the weather starts to get warm, I don't go as much do to the fact that I don't care for the wakeboarders.

Biggest or best catch: In all my years fishing, I have had a few good days on the lake but the one that I will never forget was at the delta in late March of 2008 - we had three great days of fishing with each day's limits topping the scales at 30 pounds.

Who taught you or influenced you to fish? The person that influenced me the most was my dad. From the day I could walk I'm sure I had a rod in my hand.

Equipment you use regularly: Gloomis rods, Shimano reels, 6-pound line

Prefer to fish from boat or shore and why? I prefer to fish from a boat because you are able to access so much more water than you're able to access from the shore.

Tournaments or events you participate in: Won Bass, California Bass Federation, and a few opens throughout the year.

What would you like to tell anglers out there? Keep your line wet because you never know when the big one will bite.
