LaMONT, WHO presently heads the science department at Clearfield High School, began taking his son from the day he could walk and talk. Over the years theyve visited and met the challenges of lakes and rivers all over North America. But an exciting thing for both of them was the gradual movement from easy catch to the sport of trophy fishing. Already this year, between the two of them they have caught 30 to 40 fish that would weigh-i- n anywhere from seven pounds on the lightest to 26 pounds on the heaviest. THE RECORD among the Jensens and their few fishing buddies has been a 26 pound 13 married himself and is beginning the same tradition in his new family. But I have to be honest that catching little fish with the family, isnt quite as sporty as what it used to be. Its still fun but any trophy fisherman will tell you that unless you land a decent sized fish, it just isn't the game. SOMETIMES WELL be fishing for hours in the middle of a lake and never land a mac (the Jensens description of a whopper). Well throw back all the little ones. Then when we come in and find all the others w ith their limits, they cant imagine why we didn't catch anything, continued Monty. A favorite spot for the Jensens has been Flaming Gorge. When river fishing they head out of the state for such places as Beaver Head , Madison and Red Rock. Utah doesn't have rivers where our kind of "trophy fish" hang out, said Monty. IT ALL boiled down to being patient and using experience to work for you and never forgetting that you can never learn all there is to know about this sport, Monty stated. The father-soof trophy-fish- . USUALLY THE Jensens get on a lake hours before daybreak and conclude about noon. Its time then for a hearty breakfast and a nap. Come early evening and their back on the lake again until dark. Monty has had plenty of experiences with me, said his father, But I'll never forget our in the Madison River. We were y cross it one time and Monty was to attempting We were lucky to both come feet. off his swept out of that one alive. All of the gear was lost which forced us to come home early on that one, said Mr. Jensen. The Jensen fishing trips over the years have been as much a part of this family as going to church is for others. LaMont furthered the point, Most people have car payments every month but Ive got monthly taxidermist payments. near-tradeg- LaMONTS TWO daughters and his wife left out either. Most of the time, and still today, its a family affair. Monty is now werent n fishing combination of LaMont and Monty Jensen has hooked their share day of the week and find 25 to 200 people fishing at a time. Monty backed up his father by commenting, "I think many people believe they've got to spend a lot of money to go fishing. But equipment ought to be adjusted to the needs of the fisherman. I can't see a guy that doesn't go It really wan't until Jensen graduated from fishing that much to spend $200 on a fishing college that he began fishing a great deal. rod. An opening day fisherman could do well Perhaps the fishing made him smarter because with a simple fiberglass rod." he went back to Utah State and later obtained a Masters. MR. JENSEN who promotes anything to do with wildlife anywhere he goes, says sharing it FISHING IS a big sport today," said with his son Monty has been one of the biggest LaMont, You can go out to Willard Bay any thrills. PERHAPS THE reason LaMont first began taking his son was because of the interest his father had in him. LaMonts father once sold fishing tackle in Ogden, even though he didn't fish much. But when he did, LaMont was always there. In Good Hands, With Sherwood Summer football camps built confidence and eased qualms. Keith Duncan Bulletin Sports Coach Brent Hancock CLEARFIELD assures that the Falcons are in good hands with Robbie Sherwood. THE SENIOR quarterback, even after the loss to Viewmont, feels everyin is place to make another trip to the thing astro-tur- f at the University of Utah. Coach Hancock has been real good about giving me the freedom to do what is necessary to lead the team. season-openin- g TO BE TRUTHFUL, I was a little concerned whetherld get the starting call this past summer. Mark Wilson and Jeff Parry are both capable of getting the job done. But after attending some football camps and never missing a practice, my confidence grew everyday, said Sherwood. Robbie had his knocks last season and maybe this year we can give him the time to throw the football. I believe he learned a lot and maybe that experience will pay off for us, said Hancock. THE CLEARFIELD coach also stated, The job is Robbies till something else happens otherwise. I want him to feel confident that he is the man to get the job done. Hancock is sure that Wilson, a senior, and Parry, a junior, could also lead the team but his vote will stay with Sherwood who he has taken aside and tryed to place confidence in. He wants me to be a leader. During our first couple weeks of practice, I was the only captain there because of injuries and other things. It felt good and a little w eird to be the guy leading the way, said Sherwood. AND WHILE Robbie leads the team at QB. Hancock has important plans for both Wilson and Parry. Both will play some at defensive back and Wilson will get a shot at a split end position. Hancock likes Sherwoods mobility, the fact he is the taller of the three QBs and his advantage on experience. He thinks that W'ilson is the quicker quarterback and might be able to run the Falcon's option offense better. Parry, pashe believes, is perhaps the best ser of the three and basically does everything pin-poi- Roger Hill, Scott Tremea and Kent Nye. He thanks the Utah State football camp for instilling confidence in his throwing. "The key is the upfront people, said Hancock, "We could have the best passer in the nation and still not get the job done. More than anything this year, we want to establish consistency in our offense, allowing the defense to stay off the field. SHERWOODS PARENTS live and work in Wyoming. Though he misses them he claims its something that he has become accustomed to for the past two years. They still support me the best they can, said Robbie. for football, I don't think said Sherwood, "It was Coach Hancock working with me and the Clarence Taylor family of Clinton (where Robbie If it hadnt been I'd stuck around, stays) that I have to thank. well. IN TAKING a view of the season, Sherwood IN A WAY it's good to have guys like Mark and Jeff backing you up. In case I get hurt, we'd have someone to step right in, said Sherwood, And I like the pressure. I know I've got to produce and get better all the time. Sherwood, who started six games last year, will be throwing much of the time to guys like said, the senior class of players were tired of losing. Its just no fun, he said, After we lost to the Viewmont JV last year, Coach (John) Flint got us together and whipped us in shape mentally. After that we lost only one game. Lets hope we can carry it on where it really counts."
