• Delete as it does not assert notablity per WP:BIO --Roswell native 03:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete, it does assert notability of a sort, but I think it falls slightly short of passing WP:BIO. The television show he co-hosts seems to be limited to Pacific Northwest (so far), and as for being "the first person to effectively capture the behavior of salmon and other fish in freshwater striking lures and baits with underwater cameras", that's moderately impressive, but not quite enough, IMO. But mainly I'm concerned by the weakness of the references. Two seem to be mostly press-releases, and the third appears to come from a blog. And much of the personal information appears completely unsourced. Seems like someone who could easily achieve sufficient notability, but unless and until there's better coverage from more independent sources, I think this has to go.
