I still watch the show after all these years. I was wondering the other day what it will be like when Bill and Jimmy aren't on TV anymore. I think Bill's nearly 80, Jimmy can't be too far behind.
They've been an inspiration and an institution.

Bill is 74 I think and still kicking good . However when watching his shows I do notice he pants a lot like he's out of breathe too easy . Hank Parker is another one still kicking a lot and looks like he'll be good for another 20 yrs .

Pretty easy to cut his hair, all you need is one of these.
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.

Hank Parker is another one still kicking a lot and looks like he'll be good for another 20 yrs . I tell you who is doing great for their age and that's Roland Martin. He is 80 now and just last year I watched him and Scott hop out of the boat and push a full blown tournament rigged bass boat through some backwaters just to access some good water. Hope I got that kinda energy and determination at 80!

My dad was on both Roland and Jimmy's shows back in the 90s and they both contributed to a ceremony honoring his accomplishments in 2017. They were both incredibly gracious and he got to see them again when we fished CAST for Kids in Waco a couple years ago.

I have never heard anything but good things about the "Ole Fish Kisser". I bet I never do, either. I have always wondered though, if he has ever hurt his back or neck. Whatever, it didn't hurt his career.
