The Kwikfish Hall of Fame
May 3, 2007
Over the years, I’ve named some of my Kwikfish and kept track — via small notches on the plug — of how many kings each lure has accounted for in it’s career. I have a bunch of plugs with over 50 kills and have had a few get up over 90 before they met their untimely demise. Here’s the Ace, Joe Montana, who has 103 kings to his credit. Read the entire story in this month’s issue of Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine.
Damn, who’s that handsome cover model??

Proving without a doubt that the outdoor media has extremely low standards when it comes to models, here’s my second cover shot in a month…
Actually, I was kinda disappointed. You see, I’ve been hoping for People Magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year honors, but they’ve yet to call. I know, because I’ve been sitting by the phone 24-7 waiting…and waiting…and waiting. Hmmm, maybe they don’t have the right number.
Speaking of magazines, the cover of Forbes wouldn’t suck, either, but that’s probably not in the cards anytime soon. Of course, in my days of being a wanna-be pop star, I figured the Rolling Stone cover was a forgone conclusion but, alas, that didn’t pan out. Oh well, I’ve still got my old music video that I’ll post here at some point.
Anyway, thanks to the Fishing & Hunting News gang for running my ugly mug on the upcoming issue of California edition. Check it out for the latest scoop on steelheading and all things hunting and fishing in the Golden State. www.fishingandhuntingnews.com
The best lure of all time???
January 23, 2007
The following is an excerpt from an article I have in the current edition of Western Outdoors Magazine.
So, what’s the best lure of all time?
It’s an interesting question and one that’s guaranteed to stir the pot down at the local watering hole, plunking shack or boat ramp. Steelhead anglers might vote for the Spin-N-Glo, Hot Shot or the original Wiggle Wart, while salmon fans would likely go for a Kwikfish or Flatfish.
Bassers, on the other hand, would probably choose a worm of some type, perhaps a Senko, a spinnerbait or maybe a flippin’ jig. And so it goes – trout fishermen and panfish enthusiasts would have their own favorites, as would stripers chasers, tuna trollers and kokanee anglers and on and on.

The current edition of Fish Alaska Magazine features one handsome devil on the cover…well…me! The magazine sent me to Juneau, AK this past summer to do a couple stories, both of which appear in the December issue, which you can obtain at:
Of course, I’ve also got a cool photo essay on steelhead fishing in Britich Columbia in the December issue of Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine and another on the essence of the addiction of steelheading in the January issue. Of course, my tips column apppears in that mag every month. For more info, long onto:
I’ve also got lots of cool stuff coming out in Western Outdoors Magazine over the next few issues — features plus my regular Dateline West Stuff and my new monthly Angling column. Check it out!
