Angling Hero: Hank Parker - "I'm from the same area as he is, and when you have someone here that close, (a bass fishing career) seems more realistic. He's someone I've always looked up to."
Favorite Lake: Lake Okeechobee (FL) - "You can catch a lot of fish, you can catch big fish and you can catch them different ways there. It's a good vegetation lake. And you're usually always around fish there."
Least Favorite Lake: Santee Cooper (SC) - "If you don't hit the pre-spawn and the spawn right, you just don't get a bite there anymore. Since the vegetation is gone, everything looks the same."
