Keith, known locally as "Lord of the Sea", The Sturgeon General of the Bay Area, or simply "The Baitman" is currently a co-owner of the Loch Lomond Live Bait in San Rafael, California together with Art Donati. He has been the featured speaker at the annual seminar, Sturgeon Fishing in Bay Area Waters, for over 40 years.
