Robert “Harv 418” Harvey
He is a long time tournament fisherman, entering his
first bass tourney when he was 12. This obsession continued until he met is
wife in 2001. He started Saltwater fishing then.
At work he is a steely eyed missile man who works in the Mission Control Center at Johnson Space Center in Houston when he is not working at the Control Center in Moscow Russia. His dealings with the Russians have made him a negotiator and downright hardheaded (when in Rome..). He takes his fishing as seriously as he takes his work, and as such, is methotical about catching fish. Often seen working a Topwater bait over the same school of fish for days on end. If he sees a fish he is likely to throw every bait in his boat to try to catch it. He has even been known to try his luck with snakes, turtles and gators.
Harv is very versitile. He can toss hardware all day long, but is just as at home with a fly rod or bait bucket. He can dress up in a shirt and tie and sit in high level meetings, and a couple hours later be seen in shorts and no shirt up to his neck flinging a lure at busting bait.
