Writing the stories that Toby has been publishing has been my way of giving back to the younger guys. I told Toby that I felt it was necessary to pass on some of the stuff from the past.
I also have had the great privilege of teaching 4 nephews how to striper fish. I can't show them how to Fluke or 'Tog because I suck at them but I do know how to catch fish with 7 stripes. It had been a real treat to give them my custom plugs and teasers and watch as they experience the wonder of catching Stripers.
I knew Bob Pond. Not well but I did have the privilege of fishing with him in the late 80s a few times at the White Church in Barrington.
I have an article that I sent Toby called "Fishing with Legends" and it's about a night on "The Back" with the likes of George Calzone, Lanny Grassini, Tom Murphy, Tony Bucci, Tony C, Steve Mills, #^&#^&#^&#^&y Counoyer and a few other old timers from NY.
