I wear many hats. I’m a professional historian, newspaper editor, syndicated columnist, and author. Fishing is what I do to relax. I also enjoy filming fish in their natural habitat. Click on the image above to see my fishing videos.

Fishing in north Louisiana is always interesting. On one of my outings, a young, curious alligator came up for a closer look. Although only about 4-5 feet long, this alligator was still a powerful hunter. We both kept a respectful distance from each other.
