Yes, and you can add wit to the hair and laugh.
One time during a Johnny Morris Bass Pro Legends tournament on Percy Priest, TN his wife Chris (also a hall-of-famer) was leading Big Bass of the day as Ray Scott mc'd. Ray Scott: "Well Jimmy, reckon yo' wife will share any of her money with you if she hangs on and wins Big Bass?" Jimmy: "Naw ... the way she looks at the deal what's hers is hers, and what's mine is hers, too!"

Fished in a tourney on Taylorsville Lake against Jimmy Houston up in Kentucky. He blanked, I limited and beat him. Super nice guy and hilarious on/off the water. You could hear his laugh across the lake. He has a bit of a sketchy past, but so do a lot of my heroes.

as a 13 year old kid, I was lucky enough to fish with him for most of a day. Something that I doubt he would remember, it's been a looong time ago, but at 51 years old - it still is a FANTASTIC memory of mine. Started a lifelong love of spinnerbait fishing that has never died.

Meat from the deer he killed was tested and his deer wasn't drugged. So he shot a deer over bait inside a high fence. Millions hunt deer over live bait in this state every year. High fence hunting isn't my cup of tea, but these deer are essentially livestock, not wild game. I don't think this video defines the man that Jimmy Houston is. How many TV shoes did Bill Dance make in stocked ponds? I don't recall many episodes where he was fishing a popular lake or river.

Did you not see the other guys walking around pushing the deer to him. In the full version, there are multiple guys pushing him and he is snickering like a little school girl that they have to keep walking the deer around. http://real-hunters.com/full.swf

The man does a whole lot of good for charities so I'm not going to judge him on one dumb video.
I hate photobucket.

I was disappointed when i saw the video, but it didnt undo everything he has done in his life.
