Raymond de Leur Jr. A.S. Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Hello and here is about me. I am a U.S Navy veteran and was born and raised in Wyoming. I have lived in several states across the country and fished in them as well. I am known for using techniques not general viewed as species appropriate and making them work. I am college educated and an entrepreneur. Father of 3 boys, one of which is a special needs child. Avid outdoors man and also known for carrying trash bags to pick up litter when I go out fishing or camping. Have experience in various fields to include retail, business management and ownership, accounting, advertising, transportation, asset management, weapons systems, security, electronics, computers, and gaming. Over the years I have fished for Trout (Rainbow, Lake, Brown, Cutt-throat, Steelhead), Bass (Largemouth, Smallmouth, Kentucky), Catfish, Carp, Eel, Striper, Saugeye, and Walleye. I have fished in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Texas, New York, Connecticut, Oklahoma, Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and Ohio. I love to fish and fish to live. As a kid we used to fish for meat until deer season and then antelope, deer and elk were meet until the water thawed so we could fish again. I enjoy fishing reaction baits especially lipless cranks. I have used a variety of manufacturers equipment. I really like my new Esox rods the best though. I love how I can feel everything under the water with them. I was not really a fan of bait-cast reels until I got to use a Quantum Energy PT Burner. I was hooked. I now use Quantum reels exclusively. I have small hands and they fit perfectly. I am establishing a reputation in the Oklahoma tournaments I fish as being a zinger or rocket with my casting. I am commonly getting a hard time about catching trees 30 feet in the air.. Which is fine. It's all in good fun. I believe that we need to teach the youth of today's to be conservationists otherwise or "play areas" will vanish. In addition, us as anglers are a dying breed and it is our responsibility to teach today's youth to be tomorrows mentors. Quote
