Paso Robles, Ca

My biggest pride in my life is that I am a father. I am a family guy and spend a lot of time that I could be fishing with my wife and my kid. I am more of a “slow fisherman” than a “cover a lot of water fisherman”. Through my time fishing, Aaron Martens was always the guy I looked up to, because he went at his own pace, and he wasn’t cocky. He just went out there and caught ‘em consistently. He didn’t win every tournament; but he was always in the mix. That consistency and always being a threat – instead of a one hit wonder – is what I shoot for. That is what speaks to me as a fisherman. I am looking forward to fishing APEX without a co-angler. It will be interesting to have it play out more like a fun fishing day, choosing angles and casts without having to leave meat on the bone for the backseater. I like that I can just show up and fish.
