If you haven't watched this yet, have a few tissues ready. It gets a tad bit dusty.

Anyone know which lake this is? North TX somewhere.

I was a co angler once and drew Phil in a tournament and he was such a nice guy and great angler. I will never forget that on that day I was really familiar with the lake and he would pass up area's that I thought were really good area's and then he would stop in some of the most unfishy looking places and proceed to catch fish after fish. It was a really fun day.

Phil was a good friend of mine since the early 2000's from the world of fastpitch softball. I didn't realize he was a big time fisherman until years later, he was a good guy

Sounds like Phil was a good dude, know by many. RIP



F Cancer!

I remember back in ‘12 when he caught 30+ pounds on the last day of a 4 day event on Rayburn, when a good bag was 15. I think combs came in second like 12-15 pounds back.

He was throwing a prototype 10xd on some hard spots, I remember his fish were coughing up small spotted bass in his livewell.

He had an old school vexilar flasher on his bow, haha. Getting it done!

Looks like Welsh

Dang that makes me sick to think we spent a day in the boat together and after starting my fishing journey late because I spent from age 15 to 39 playing Fastpitch Softball and then finally quit that sport to start bass fishing. Would have loved to share some stories.
