PERSONAL BESTS:   Largemouth Bass over 5 pounds, Hybrid (Tiger) Muskie over 40 inches, Muskie over 49 inches (on 4# test), Smallmouth Bass over 20 inches (including a personal best of 23.5" smallie), Black Crappie over 15 inches, and literally thousands of fish caught per year for over 10 years straight.  Many days of over 100 fish.  

Many of my best days were not for big fish, but helping someone else set a personal best.  Be it a 16 inch walleye or non-stop panfish action and lots of nice sized northern pike, these are the best days and I have many pictures of people that have done it.  Everyone is wearing a big smile.  That's AWESOME..   Remember, any day fishing is a great day.
