He began working in the food industry at the age of 15 at a fast food restaurant. By 17, his leadership skills in the business were evident as he became the youngest person to ever work in management at that restaurant. After working for five years and starting a family, Bob worked as a part-time butcher and learned to cut meat at the local grocery store. This experience led to his passion for hand-cut steaks that carries through today. Bob created Coffee Shak Custom Cooking in 1996 and merged the company with Wildcatter Steakhouse in April 2004. He served as the Wildcatter Steakhouse Food & Beverage Manager from the time it opened in December 2004 to October 2012. Bob's latest venture, Daddy Bob's Smokewagon is a traveling food trailer serving BBQ at a corner near you! Serving Wichita Falls, Graham, Possum Kingdom, Ft Worth and anywhere in between. You can always expect the coals to be burning. All of our meats are cooked on our traveling pit using mesquite wood from our family farm. Come enjoy our award winning barbeque that will compete with any barbeque joint around. When Bob is not cooking, he enjoys working with his parents at the family vineyard in Knox County, Texas and spending time with family; especially his grandson, Tucker. His latest honor has been to be nominated to serve on the Board of the Texas Restaurant Association's Education Foundation. He is grateful for the opportunity to positively influence the future of students in the food and beverage field. Bob believes in Julia Child's philosophy "The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook". Bob loves a great steak and rich food that is good for the soul and makes people around him happy.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 17)

FAIR. Water stained; 80 degrees; 1.05 feet below pool. Stripers are slow to fair with live bait in 20-40 feet of water. Put your baits down in areas that you have marked fish recently and slowly move around with your trolling motor. You will bump into smaller schools of fish, but it will take patience while you wait for a bite. Sand bass are still fair to good moving quickly in 5-10 feet of water on main lake points and sand flats. Chrome and white seem to be out producing all other colors. Catfish are still fair to good with shad in 10-20 feet of water fished on the bottom. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers but will not produce big fish. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Catfish should be spawning, so expect a slower bite. Water clarity is 2-6 feet of visibility but slowly becoming clearer. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service. The fall transition is in full swing, and fish are on the move! That means staying on top of the bite can be tricky, but the action has been worth the effort. Water temperature is 77 degrees with 3-4 foot visibility. The striper and white bass bite has been strong this week. Fish are stacking up on shallow points in 10–20 feet, with sporadic surface feeding early and late when there’s a little wind. Slab spoons, swimbaits, and downriggers are all producing, so keep a mix of gear ready. The eating size 1–3 pound catfish bite is absolutely on fire. Limits are coming in fast, often within just a few hours, using punch baits and dip baits. For channels and blue catfish baited holes in 20–25 feet near points and flats are paying off. The crappie bite has picked up nicely. Minnows are the go-to in 12–20 feet of water around structures and brush. Largemouth bass are crushing topwater at first light, then shifting to shallow crankbaits around dock legs as the sun climbs. Shaky heads are producing steady catches as well. Once the sun gets higher, a Texas-rigged
