Well I was at the car wash next to Diamond Sports Marine after a few trips on the boat it was that time. Then I notice a tall thin guy next to me w/ N Carolina plates and soon as his time ran out in the wash, I said Mr. Parker and he turned around with a huge smile and said "yes sir..and your name is". We spent a while talking about fishing, told me he had crushed them on Welsch on Monday and then got beat up on Fork Tuesday. Did ask for a picture and he said " no problem, but let's do a video on your guide service also" and he did perfect ad on the 1st take. We said goodbye, then he took off headed back to N Carolina..embarassed to say this after he left, I checked my phone and I guess I did something wrong no video..oh well..what a nice guy to spend that much time with me.

That's awesome. My all time favorite human in bass fishing.

One of my favorites as well! His kids grew up on that show. What a house and spread he has too, would love to see a legends tournament with him, Denny, Rick, Jimmy, and a few others!

One of the really good guys and never once heard him holler " BIGGUN ". 
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.

I like Hank, always has a witty comment.. I watch his shows religiously, his wife is a hoot, Hank got her on some big strip bass, all she could say during the battles was  Awwe Hank, Awwe Hank, Awwe Hank... the looks he was give the camera were hilarious... if you weren't watching and just listening, well, might have sounded like something else.. ha ha ha.. Hank is a legend in my book, and his spinner bugs.

Lake Fork today? Did you get the monsoon that the rest of the state seemed to?
