These marks started at Fork when I first moved to Texas. I originally thought I had some type of fatal disease and was seriously worried. Since that time the scars have dramatically increased thanks to a once special lake and have never disappeared.

I have a large area of scar tissue over my left ribs from this very thing.

You need a built in shock absorber like me it is called over weight.

My wife thinks I've been out doing "NO GOOD!!!"


You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown

Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

Every cotten picking frog fish this summer left a rod bruise for some reason. Fishing is really hard on us skinny guys lol. I dont think any rod hurt as bad as the old original All Stars back in the early 90's

If you would have stretched a little longer on your jump from my boat to the squaw creek dock. You would have never fractured your knee cap on the rocks that afternoon.
