My mentor Passed away last night. Anybody Southwest Louisiana in to crappie fishing may have had the fortune to meet J.D. Courtney. A great lure and rod builder. Wonderful family man as well as one the most passionate crappie fisherman I've ever known. I would sit in his shop and listen and learn. He shared a vast amount of knowledge with me. We would laugh and tell fishing stories. He was truly an amazing man and I'm gonna miss him. Mr. J.D. now you can catch those 3lbers everyday. RIP
