I recall it well. I had the privilege to sit in my boat next to Jimmy where the creek crossed the pipeline at Monty about a month after he caught that fish and hear the story first hand. He was in his boat and I was in mine. What a nice gentleman. So you had a boat when you were 6 ? I was 22 and hate to admit it but I was on boat #3 by then!! Ken you must be 3 or 4 months older than me. If recall I was 21, also on boat #3,  Both of you guys had way too much money. Three boats by age 22 ? All I could afford was a tractor inner tube and a paddle. Poor people have poor ways. My family was so poor our next door neighbor had me.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

I used to fish Monticello quite a bit after that big mama was caught.
Met the man once down there.
It did light a fire.
Speaking of which: Bonus points to those that remember the fireman from Ft. Worth that caught so many lunkers back then.
Has a spot on Monticello named after him. Hint: think old reels.
GO!!

Yeah, yeah. He was mentioned.
So no extra points on this one.

All I could afford was a tractor inner tube and a paddle. Poor people have poor ways. My family was so poor our next door neighbor had me. Ha! Not too much money, just no good sense! My first "boat" was a 12' Jonboat, second was a 15' Duckhawk with a 55 Chrysler. My 3rd was a '74 Ranger TR10 with a Johnson 135. That's what I spent my early years on Monty fishing from. I sold it to a buddy, then he sold it to his father, then he turned around and sold it to another friend of mine. That old Ranger is still fishing!!

After the 80s beat down the people that lived there called that wall that's inside that store the wall of shame because of all the fish that didn't make it bake into the lake.

"Garcia's Hump". How many lakes have such a good area, named after the guy that made it famous? I remember bob Garcia. He was a fire fighter in Fort Worth I think?
