“Brendan is one of the areas best anglers, especially in the spring. His ability to put very large limits together is indeed most impressive. Of note is the 23 lb.,7 oz. limit he caught while a member of Suffolk County Bassmasters on Copake Lake in 2004 and the 22 lb.,8oz. limit he brought to our scales this past year on East Twin Lakes. He won the clubs 2008' Open Championship on Candlewood Lake with a more than a pedestrian bag of mixed bass that approached 34 pounds.”
