Damn, that's sad news!! I met him years ago while fishing a Hank Parker Bass tournament out of The Lunker Lodge on Lake Seminole.. A really nice and friendly guy! R.I.P. Jack

"Cuz, they'll be bitin' tomorrow!"

Breakfast at the lodge was a special experience. City folks will never understand the grace and kindness he embodied. I read many of his stories in "'Round Faceville". What a gift he had.

Thanks for folks like him!! :beer: :beer:
Cheer up, it gets worse...I did, and it did!!
