He's a young 74 years old. I was 60 when I started fishing with Larry. I'll put him up against anybody as far as hanging in there. Man is tough. Larry taught me more about one pole fishing than I had learned in my lifetime in about a month. Got to the point I dreaded to troll but you got to sometimes. Fished with Larry about five years and enjoyed every trip. Not just because I was usually catching a nice mess but He is good company. He has been taking a fellow the last year or two that has cancer bad and couldn't fish on his own anymore. That tells you what kind of guy He is. I'm not aging well and have lost desire to go out and fight them anymore. If you are serious about catching crappie and want to maybe learn a new trick or two, this is your shot. I wouldn't take anything for the time we spent on the water. Made a good friend as well.
