Bobby Murray, He was the Vice Principal at Eastern Hills High School in the late 90s to 2001, I got in a lot of trouble bac k then with the law and was looking at going to jail for sometime, The judge said if I would get back in school he would allow me probation, if I could not get in School, then it was jail for 3 to 5 years. I went to the school which I have not been there in over a year and a half and met Mr. Murray, At first he said he should not waste his time with someone like me because it would take away from other students but he did take that chance and said we would whip all the way to jail himself if I misstepped one time, Those Two years I never made a grade less than a A and in that time he really took me in and helped me so much and really changed the direction of my Life, got to fish a few times at Lake Arlington with him. He was a good man.
Bobby is alive and still kicking and as contrary as ever. I will be sitting in his back seat at 7:00 AM tomorrow fishing Lake Worth.

All us Fun-n-Sun boys cut our teeth with Charles and Barbara Jo's Central Division. Doug Butcher, Bill Tucker, "Iron Man"Bill Wilcox, Ed Klobas, Ken Smith - even our Home pro Alton- right before hitting the big trail.
Those that remember that division also remember the huge 30 lbs sacks that were a regular on a new lake called Richland Chambers. Dang we were spoiled.... Thanks for this cool thread.

Yes, you sure did. I fished a Richland Chambers Pro-am with you in '96. When you found out I had a small tackle shop in a larger business, you asked me If I would consider carrying a line of baits you were working on and might be coming out with.

How do you pull those up? My partner Steve Holland and I fished Anglers Choice in the early 90's. We finished 3rd at Cedar Creek on March 17, 1991 and 3rd at Palestine on February 16, 1992, in the North Region.

I work with a guy named Robert Sanders that said he used to fish a lot of these tournaments any of you guys know him? From the stories he tells me it sounds like he used to be a pretty good fisherman, but he has since given it up for golf.

I thought Johny was a good guy', was really sad to see Anglers choice fail. I remember a pro am I was fishing on PK, I was in second after day one, David Wharton came over and sat at my table at dinner, we had a couple beers and he wished me luck, he ended up winning it, I stumbled and placed ninth.
