Thread: Rest In Peace.

You couldn't put the crappie i have caught outa that hole in a train car....Bunch of them black stripe crappie in there....

I killed my best 4 deer, first duck, first limit of ducks, first banded duck, and my two biggest bass on his place, and like WB, he could have easily told me to get lost.

Thanks for the prayers guys. It means a lot.

Way back in the day, he had a slough out behind his home. I was probably 9 or so. Anyway, my Dad asked permission occasionally to take me and work buddy out there and fish a few times. It was always chuck full of bass and crappie. Can't remember a trip where we didn't catch a few slabs to throw in with the Bass that would hit Spinnerbaits. Caught my personal best at the time out of it at 7 lbs, 10 oz. Not bad for a 9 year old and that best held for another 10 years. It'd be another 23 years before I even wondered what it would have been like to go in there trying to catch Crappie.

All that to say, my Dad didn't know him well at all. He just asked and Mr. Houston just said yes. And his generosity made a lasting memory for me and my Dad.
