Real Name:

About:

I was born and raised in Medford, WI (central part of state). I currently go to college at UW-Eau Claire, where I'm double-majoring in Math and Economics Teaching.

My entire summer and fall consists of musky fishing every second I get. Last summer I worked for the DNR at a campground in Vilas county and got to fish several times a week. This year, I plan on going back up there with a friend, working part time and fishing every day. We are also planning on doing some recording of our fishing and are looking for a 3rd person if anyone is interested.

Most of my fishing is done in Wisconsin, but I go to Canada for a week each summer and this past year I got up to Vermilion for a few days in the summer and a weekend during late fall (which I got my personal best...a 52.5"x24.5" pig).

If you're looking for someone to hop in the boat with you or are interested in fishing with me, let me know.

Go catch a big one!

First Taste of Tourney Fishing for '09

This past weekend (June 6th & 7th), my fishing partner, Luke, and I fished the WMT Three Lakes Chain "Badgerland Open". The weather for the weekend was ridiculous, with temperatures in the mid-40's, strong NE winds, and mist on Sunday. We moved a couple of fish on Saturday, but they were way behind the baits and wanted nothing to do with any throwbacks. On Sunday, we were fishing the same areas but switched tactics a bit and it paid off. Luke caught a 35.5" around 8:00 a.m. After registering… Continue
