His knowledge of what it takes to successfully fish has been the result of his desire to learn that has been gathered from first hand experience: since he was a fifteen-year-old private boater in the waters off the Southern and Central Coast, as a deck hand on sport fishing boats off the Channel Islands and in cool streams and on the beautiful lakes of the Eastern Sierra. He has also successfully fished the Colorado River, the Sacramento Delta, the Salton Sea, virtually every lake in Southern California and as well as many other locations. His personal bests include a 100 pound Yellowfin Tuna, a 14 pound Rainbow Trout, a 45 pound White Sea Bass and a 100+ pound Thresher Shark.
