Smallmouth
and lake trout are his favorite fish to pursue. Nam and
his brother An take an annual Canadian fishing trip to
fish a different lake in Ontario every year. Last year
they fished Lower Manitou Lake and had great success with
pike, smallmouth, and muskies. This year they will be
venturing into Osbourne Bay on Eagle Lake in pursuit of
muskies and smallmouth.
