Enjoyed the show, both old and new, with Jerry and Bill .

Both were great fisherman and did it their own way.

Doubt we'll see anything like it in the future. thumb fish

We fished the Honey Hole tournaments back in the day. Good tournaments.

I met Jerry Dean in 1986 dropping off his magazines in Bassmaster Pro Shop in Richland Hills. Ran into him periodically at Monticello, did not talk to him again until I ran into him at Jim Murrey's funeral in 03, he was still just as genuine as he was back in the day. That's my Honey Hole memory. On a side note, Jimmy Johnson fishing the south and putting some butt whooping's on us, He owned the south, He was one of the good guy's

Had a chance to meet Bill on Monticello one day, not long before the lake closed to boaters. Had one of my best days there and saw him pass by several times earlier in the day. Didnt know it was him but we both ended up at the bridge later in the day... When I recognized it was him, I paddled on over and we got to talking... he had noticed I had never left the bridge area and figured I had done well.. he had caught a nine pounder that day. Just as nice in person as on tv..really easy to speak to. Gave me a few tips about the bridge.. he liked to fish the opposite side from where I was.. said he had always caught bigger fish there.. I liked where I was as I had always done better there. Thought of him when I caught an almost 12 lb bass on his side a couple of years later. roflmao cheers


A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

I followed the show probably from its inception. I was living in Louisiana at the time of its beginning, but it got broadcast there pretty early on. After moving to Texas, I never missed it and usually recorded it on VHS, even subscribed to the magazine and read it cover to cover. Jerry and Deb and Bill as well always kept me spell bound, especially if they fish lakes I could access locally. My favorites were always the shows they'd film on the tri-lakes. Jerry and Bill had such vast knowledge of those lakes. I've sure glad they are going to keep the shows available. I hope Bill can keep going in some form. I sure learn a lot from him.

First time I met Jerry was on Monticello at the boat ramp. We were there for 3 days. Stayed at Reagan's . We ask Jerry where he was staying. He said his van. Slept in it all the time. Conversation switched over to jobs. I was totally surprised when Jerry said he worked for Angelo's BBQ. He was Angelo's George bodyguard. Never would of thought that. But he said it worked great for his fishing. He only worked 3 or 4 days a week.

watched Honey Hole as well. It was a down to earth show and did not have all the antic's and drama of the shows today. Sorry it will be gone.

I don't live in Texas, but the show is one of my favorite fishing shows. I am sorry to see it come to an end.
