I,m reading the book [THE BIG ONE ] right now /which is about the derby .............. there is a section on Pages 130 & 131 . that touch on their 1st taste of the RI crew .
The man the writer interviewed was well know in a small commercial circle ........ he gave that information to the writer only because he was old & no longer fished ...When he did fish . he never even looked at anyone ..../ ........ he passed away last month .........& with him the unofficial RI record for the largest bass caught in the upper Narragansett bay 65# .......... I have a ccopy of the receipt for that day with the price & total amount on the slip .............he always sold for less & for cash . no paper trail .He laughed at us when they pulled Spooners books & came after some of us .
There are photos of that crew at Bulldogs in NB / they weren,t happy then
