His reels and rod choices will make a lot of you cringe, but time on the water will always trump anything else....

i've caught a many bass on a zebco and johnson beetle spin on ponds. Never anything really big but always simple and fun way to fish.

Pickwick has been becoming one of my favorite lakes the past few years. We fish out of the lower end around the Wilson Dam. This ole boy is up around the shoals. I have been wanting to take a trip down there also.

Thanks Jerry. That was a great read. Reminds me a bit of the late Bud Erhardt of Bull Shoals. We should all be so blessed.
