WHAT, 101 BASS, NO WAY!!

It's true, last Friday I took a great bunch of guys out to Lake Okeechobee, Ken, Andrew, Jarret, and Kevi
n, and they put a hurting on some fish! We had doubles, triples and maybe even one quadruple. It was like taking candy from a baby for most of the day! After boating 90 or so, it got a little slower, but the goal was 100 and Ken's wife was calling at that point with dinner waiting so the pressure was on, but they pulled it off and even caught one extra bass just to make sure. LOL!! WHAT A DAY!

FISHING WITH JOE SILL SR. AND JR.

 Fellow Tennesseans, Joe Sill Sr. and Jr. came down to fish Okeechobee with me! Joe Sr. and his son are both outdoor writers. Joe Sr. is the Director of Marketing for Bill Dance. Needless to say I was a little nervous about putting them on fish. How could I come close to showing them fishing like my childhood idle, Bill Dance? Luckily, the fish were very cooperative! What a great time we had!! We were ripping fish out of the water one after another. The schooling bass were tearing up our Venom skip shads. We must have caught over 70 bass! That’s what happens when you take such skilled fishermen out for a day on the big O, they just catch fish. The fish catching was fun and all, but the best part for me was making friends with great people.
