"But I have to be honest that catching little fish with the family, isnt quite as sporty as what it used to be. It's still fun but any trophy fisherman will tell you that unless you land a decent sized fish, it just isn't the game. d "IT ALL boiled down to being patient and to work for you and never 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 "SOMETIMES WELL be fishing for hours of a lake and never land a "mac" (the Jenscna description of a whopper). We'll throw back all the little ones. Then when we come in and find all the others with their limits, they cant imagine why we didnt 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. in the middle The 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. LaMONT'S TWO daughters and his wife werent left out cither. Most of the time, and still today, it's a family affair. Monty is now Monty Jensen has honked their share of LaMont and day of the week and find 25 to 200 people fishing at a time.

"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. LaMont's father once sold fishing tackle in Ogden, even though he didn't fish much. But when he did, LaMont was al- using experience forgetting that you can never learn all there is to know about this sport," Monty stated. fishing combination father-so- n of trophy-fish- . USUALLY THE Jensens get on a lake hours before daybreak and conclude about noon. It's 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 Ill never forget our in the Madison River. We were attempting to cross it one time and Monty was swept off his feet. We were lucky to both come out of that one alive. All of the gear was lost which forced us to come home early on that one," said Mr. Jensen. near-trade- In Good Hands, With Sherwood Summer football camps built confidence and eased qualms.

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 weird to be the guy leading the way," said Sherwood.

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. .

" 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. "If it hadnt been for football, I dont think Id stuck around, said Sherwood, "It was Coach Hancock working with me and the Clarence Taylor family of Clinton (where Robbie stays) that I have to thank. pin-poi- IN TAKING a view of the season, Sherwood said, the senior class of players were tired of losing. It's 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. "IN A WAY its good to have guys like Mark and Jeff backing you up. In case I get hurt, have someone to step right in, said And I like the pressure. I know to Ive got produce and get better all the time. Sherwood, who started six games last year, will be throwing much of the time to guys like wed Sherwood, Shooters Offer Hunter Safety The Wahsatch Shooters Jodi Sherod defends a spike against Roy in a 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 Wilson is the quicker quarterback and might be able to run the Falcons option offense better. Parry, he believes, is perhaps the best passer of the three and basically does everything well. 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 - 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.
