A few years ago the old man calls me into the t.v. room. He's sitting there watching a boat fishing show where the guys are crankin' in 30 pound plus bass one after another. I wanted to cry with envy. Then my father asks me if I notice anything wierd. I said yeah, big deal. Their on a boat probably off the Vineyard and their into a big school. He says look agian. I notice all the mountains in the background and find that wierd. He says its cause their on a lake... in ARKANSAS.......A land locked lake called BEAVER LAKE just absolutely piled up with big stripers. My father turns on the volume and the guide is talking saying how they catch a lot of big fish and that 35 pounds is the AVERAGE fish....in a fresh water lake........................in ARKANSAS!!!!!!! What a great state, not only can you marry your sister, but they have big stripers.
