5 best things about where you fish? 1. The places we fish are so diverse and each place has its own method of madness. I guess that is what intrigues me the most. 2. The people I travel and fish with. What a bunch of mad, crazy peeps with never a dull moment. 3. Clear freshwater streams in the mountains and knowing they’re pristine. 4. Croc and hippo-infested rivers in Africa. There is always a sense of danger and adrenaline flowing at an all - time high. 5. Saltwater walking and stalking. Knowing that we are the only people in that area for miles and miles.

5 fishing connected items you don’t leave home without before making a mission? 1. “Fishing Crew” (they are as important to me as my fishing gear, with someone carrying the big JBL Boombox in tow). 2. Some currency and smokes in my pocket. 3. My lucky cap (blue, red and white Simms). 4. Proper polarized sunnies (Bajio or Costas). 5. A bottle of Moët. 5 thing you are loving right now? 1. Love my job as an executive Chef – creating food with my own twist. 2. Being home when I’m not on the water.
