Class Act Hank Cherry - 06/14/21 12:45 AM
Guy has a lot of character and class to make a point of thanking police, firemen and first responders along with putting all the BASS/MLF beef aside asking everyone to pray for A-Mart. Thought that was cool to use his stage time for that. True winner

Yep. Pretty cool dude. Of course he has prior experience with the classic win “speech”.

Yeah. But, Barrett doesn’t like him because he was mocking the rude, self centered spectator boats.
Again…seemed like a normal guy to me. Pretty cool.

Followed him Friday and today. Talked to us Friday when idling out of his spot and also today. When he was leaving his spot today he went right next to us and said it’s the toughest lake he has ever fished. Congrats to him on winning. I

I like hammerin’ Hank for sure, but my favorite now is Matt Robertson. He is raw and real, and he’s RedRanger’s brutha.

Well at least I agree with his comments on RR. It's steadily gone down with Number of fish in it over last 10 years. Either the flooding has wiped out the spawns or some other factor i.e. April Touraments, fish being taken out. I just know when the slot was on the lake it was MUCH different fishery. It needs re stocking and not sure how or loud of voice we have.

I saw where someone posted on here that the local biologist told him that he believed the lake actually had to many fish in it. They couldn't even catch enough fish to finish the last creel survey on the lake. I think we need to look up who the biologist is and start with him. We do pay his salary and I bet he will listen if enough of us speak up.

Well I have to give Mr. Bennett some props for at least answering a rather blistering email I sent him yesterday. I will ask if he minds me sharing the lengthy response he wrote. It looks like he's sincere about helping Ray Roberts become a better fishery.

Martens posted this today. My thoughts and prayers go out to him.
I suffered a grand mal seizure on Sunday and have been in the ICU since then. The doctors and nurses at Grandview have been great, but I can’t wait to get back to my own home and bed. They hope to discharge me tomorrow. Needless to say, while we do follow-up over the next week, I’ll have to miss the tournament that I was really looking forward to since it was announced - the BPT Stage 5 at the St Lawrence River, but I hope and pray to be back to chasing big smallies at Champlain.
