I am saddened by his passing, I wish I got to know him better.
My friend popper john called me the other day telling me about his passing in Feb. he read about it in a Fly fishing mag.
I will never forget the night I went out one cooooold fall night and fished a NW wind in my face and crushed bass after bass on my OJ needle. Another time John was down the canal watching me fish and he was interested in how I jig, the fishing was slow on the east tide at that spot so he mentions about his needles and did I still fish them? so I say ya, got one right here in the bag, I put it on and bang, first, second and third cast I got fish on it. You should have seen the smile on his face, something that stays with me forever.
RIP Old John
