Crusty old  veteran of many lonely days on the Susquehanna River all by himself – likes to fish better alone as this allows him to approach a target area any way he chooses – Has occasionally paired up with Professional Jeff Smeltz in order to fish lake tournaments – this partnership started out well with an early win at Lake Honeoye but has deteriorated fast – Last place finish at the 2006 Bass Blast – unable to contribute any legal fish to the 2 day total – not too computer literate – refuses to help out Perfect Porter with official fish counter fish counts, it is all in his head and is almost always right – Does not like fishing out of the back of the boat especially when the driver will not move – very knowledgeable about many things including fishing, carpentry, machinery, engines, poker playing, wood splitting, housekeeping – in this day and age, can you say antennae TV? – runs a boat on the river that is 2 days older than dirt and looks like it should be at the scrap heap (Charles tries to take it with his tin cans) – been known to wake up in a bad mood and get worse as the day goes on – would rather watch paint dry than cook eggs – a big fan of bologna sandwiches – can char-broil a burger faster than Burger King, just keep a fire extinguisher handy – likes dish detergent as a condiment on sandwiches – grease is his best friend – never seems to own a new hat – knows every rock, turn, twist, hot spot on the river – only puts his boat away 3 months of the year – in charge of feeding the animals at the Bass Blast, looking forward to doing it again this year – thinks talking, eating, housekeeping and sex is all overrated – grumpy old man 98% of the day – retired, fishes, hunts, fishes, fishes, plays poker, fishes, splits wood, fishes, fishes, fishes, sleeps and that is his life
