"Must Have" Rapala Lures And Why:
Shad Rap RS - #4 and #5 Shad Rap RS for casting to shallow early season walleye.
Deep Husky Jerk - #10 and #12 Deep Husky Jerks for trolling cold water suspended eyes in the Great Lakes.
Deep Tail Dancer - Deep Tail Dancers get to the big ones down deep in lakes in Summer and Fall.
Shad Rap - #5 and #7 Shad Raps to "match the hatch" during mid-summer when bait size is critical. #9 Shad Raps for the times you need the BIG bite!

Yellow Perch Shad Raps - This color will rock em’ everywhere!
The One "Go To" Rapala Lure:

Favorite Fishing Memory:
I can still remember my fist 10lb. walleye. It came on a day fishing with my father and grandfather. That made it even better. Lake Erie’s central basin 300’ back, 10lb wire line, Deep Thunderstick, lime green specks.
Hobbies:
Other than fishing, I love to hunt whitetail deer.
