Description:

Our 2007 Boomer Back in Business winner is also a perfect slacker. Born in 1960, Larry Murphy has retired from the grind to start Murphy Outdoors and now ties flies on the end of fishing line instead of tying ties around his neck each day. He provides professional fishing guide services on Smithville Lake, Truman Lake, Pomme de Terre Lake, and the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Murphy
