I went to radio school in Donaldson (Nashville suburb) and loved the area. I went on to spend most of my life working in Television, very enjoyable yet stressful occupation.

Sounds like a very interesting career

Yes Jack it was, exciting most of the time working in master control.
The stress became too much and at 68 I retired earlier this year.

Can't say I blame you. Dad says retirement is really nice. I have at least 20 years to go

Enjoy those working years!

I do. Yet a fella has to plan for the future

I mainly crappie fish from the dam above the Chick to Possum creek area with offshore structure my favorite way to single pole fish. Maybe two times a year I will fish Hiwassee and Watts Bar lake. I used to fish Tims Ford which is a beautiful lake to fish. Deep, clear, and has the reputation of being the Dead Sea. Now that Walleye are showing up below our dams, I am fishing tailwaters for species other than crappie.

I fish out of a blue Tracker 175 TF with 60 Merc. Minn Kota Terrova with spot lock which is invaluable, and a 12” Lowrance graph. The search for new fish, techniques, etc is more interesting to me than actually catching the fish. But I do enjoy catching the fish. Lolol. I probably get a bigger thrill when whoever fishes with me catches the fish and is overjoyed.

I like to see thise walleye and strip photos you post. Walleye are on my to do list. Didn't have them where I am originally from. Caught a white bass last Sunday morning. Threw it back because I had been taught to do so. Then remembered how good you said they were on the table. I will have to start keeping them

I totally understand that. It is the most fun when I am able to take my fishin buddy and watch him hook up than it ever is for me to catch fish. Watching mu children catch fish was the best fun of all!
