Hey Thumper good to see you post and thanks for sharing that memory of fishing with Rango. 73? I'm 71 and I thought you were WAY older than me Fishing gets harder as we age for sure. That's why I fish with Crappiekrazy...he's 20 years younger than me and takes care of a lot of the work involved.

Rango never took up thumping, at least not when anyone was watching, but as I posted earlier Rango and I trolled next to you never more than 20' away and just had the "pleasure" of watching you catch fish while we didn't get as much as a pull down. I went striper fishing with Rango at Wateree 5 or 6 times and all together I think we caught 1 crappie and a small catfish. Take care.
