I think it's obvious that whitetails are my passion. But there are other things that are important in my life as well. First and foremost is my family--my wife Geralyn, son Jake and daughter Jessie. Oh, and we recently had a new addition to our family. We have a five month-old black lab pup by the name of Duncan sharing our new house with us. He's quite the dog. His favorite chew toy is a small four point shed antler. Imagine that...
People often ask me what I do during the "off season". A lot of them are surprised to learn that I'm passionate about fishing. I'm blessed in that I live in an area (northwest Wisconsin) where there are literally thousands of lakes. And there's good fishing on just about all of them!
Without question, I love catching giant smallmouth bass more than any other fish. And trust me when I say that we do have world class smallmouth fishing here in Wisconsin. (We practice strict catch and release.) But I also enjoy fishing for largemouth and walleye. And in the spring of the year I have a blast catching big bluegills and crappies on my fly rod.
Jake and I fish together a lot. Over the past couple years he and I have put a BUNCH of fish in the boat, including a couple of huge muskies. Those big fish were released to fight another day as well.
Other than that I pretty much like to hang out at home. We recently moved into a new house, and there's always something that has to be done--like putting in a lawn, building a deck, etc. But I really enjoy doing stuff like that too.
