At one time he was a member of three different bass clubs at the same time. He took us out as often as he could. This is where my brothers, Todd and Pat, and myself, learned to fish with rod and reels and artificial lures. Although totally different from our cane pole fishing around Corsicana, it was equally enjoyable and educational. I am thankful that both of these important men in my life took the time to share an American heritage with me, fishing.
Fishing is the number one leisure sport in America.
More people are involved in and more money is spent each year on fishing than any other sport in our country. It is just good, clean, wholesome fun for the whole family. Just before his death, we had made plans to go give them a try in the upcoming days. Unfortunately, I will not have the chance to do so. I will always wish we had been able to go, one more time.
