I am not one to brag about my accomplishments, maybe it is a good thing or a weakness. As a charter captain I do have to "brag" a little to attract customers, however it has to be factual, not a fishing story. Here is my first "personal record" I caught a thirty pound freshwater drum. It is fact, unfortunately it was during a bass tournament so I could not get it to the NYS DEC for certification otherwise it would be the new state record.
       My next "record" is that I out fished Bassmaster Elite Angler Dustin Wilks on Lake Gaston. Sept 25, 2009 I was his co-angler, in an FLW Everstart Tournament on day two he zeroed and I caught one bass just minutes before we headed to the weigh-in. He looked stunned, and asked how I did that. We were fishing docks and the guy in the back is usually in trouble in that situation. I looked him square in the eye and told him not to despair that I was a professional and do this for a living. He asked me not to tell anyone so keep this quiet.
   My third record is that I caught a bag of five Lake Erie Smallies that weighed 27 lbs 11 oz. It was during a bragging rights only tournament in Erie Pa. between outdoor writers and state biologists. It was a tournament record. The bite was so good that I stopped culling half way through
 the fish kept getting bigger it was ridiculous.
    My fourth record is from the "tournament in Erie I caught my largest smallmouth bass it 6lbs 7oz.
 I have a bunch of other records over the years my biggest walleye is 9.97 lbs but I have had customers catch walleye over 11 pounds.  Well, that is it for now if you want to learn more you can visit my website http://www.gr8lakesfishing.com there are lots of pictures there; better yet come out fishing with me and make a couple of you own personal records!
