He was by far the best bass fisherman I have ever met. And it wasn't just his knowledge, it was his whole person. He was a true gentleman and never got flustered. He was also an excellent, patient teacher that would school us in all aspects of fishing, predicting their location, baiting the hook for different conditions, proper gaffing and boat handling.
As for the diesel re-power, we did snap jigs when the fish were not cooperating at the rip. He truly enjoyed fishing Wasque w/ live scup.
I am not looking to buy his boat, just would love to see her sitting in the water. I had a wooden Beetle Cat as a kid and remember the amount of time required to keep her in ship-shape.
Merry Christmas Joe and Thank you!
