Fishing & Traveling

Fishing is something that brings excitement, tranquility and competition all in the same trip. I personally love any activity involving the water especially when it can lead to a great catch. Best Catch: Barracuda

Michelle (Wife) & I love to travel the world as we have no kids, exploring new cities and cultures is something we enjoy to do. Our most recent trip was to the Bahamas on a cruise. Best Trip: Puerto Rico
