Vito, awesome pictures! What's your setup for smallies and larger game fish in general?

For larger game fish in the medium size rivers I fish...steelhead, fast 10' 7wt for indi fishing and 11' 6/7wtswitch rod for swinging.

RE: Is Bowhunting your only MAIN hobby?
Definately my bow is my main hobby. I am really wanting to get into the arrow building part of it, planning on buying a jig soon so I will be able to experiment with different fletchings/feathers/setups so forth. I am ignorant with most of it but the technical side of bows really sparks my interest but right now dont have the money to deal with most of it.
I really want to get into the recurve deal, I have a lot of respect for instinctive shooters and would like to try my hand at it.
I like to fish, hunt turks with either bow or shotgun (mainly bow)
I love to dove hunt, like to quail hunt, get a pretty big kick out of coyotes but when it all comes down to it my favorite pastime is shooting my bow.

I used to be big into Fantasy Football. Still in 2 leagues but probably giving them up this coming year. Bowhunting is my biggest hobby for me. My kids and wife are the main thing I spend my time at. My job is just a means to these. Archery gets me away from everything.

Nice Vito. I couldn't agree more with your comment about 20" river smallies. I normally only hook into a few of them a year, but boy are they a blast. I have to admit, I have never fly fished. I am a green pumkin tube man myself.

This is a close one. I relatively new to bowhunting as my hoobies go, so I'm going to have to give this one to my first love...GOLF!!!
This was in MyrtleBeach on our spring trip last year...

On our way up to the U.P. a couple years ago. Can't beat that view!
A close second...
So I'm an avid golfer and hunter...you could say my girlfriend is pretty understanding.
