Here is a picture I got a hold of from around 1938-1940. This was before there was such a thing as Greers Ferry Lake. These fish were caught around the Searcy area. RCC and MG would probably remember these times. :Rofl I think I counted around 52.Attachment 117241
They must have been hungry catching White Bass.
If I rember right I think they were caught on"SPANKY" lol

By the way sonny, ya shoulda posted this up in the moderated furum. Better late than never ya know.

Great old picture. I wonder what the catch would have looked like if they had the equipment and technology we have now? I think I would trade the technology for the simpler lifestyle that has been lost. Slackline
Couple skipjacks too. And a goo.Quote:
