Now THAT is instant karma!

John, gotta love a good farm pond! Caught my largest (11#, 6oz) and most in a day on a farm pond. Both times with my Dad. Not truly alone, though we did have both lakes to ourselves. Great fun and fond memories.

I would highly recommend hiring a guide. If you are planning on being there several days, then at least for the first day or two. It was a great place for trophy bass, then was silted up about 15 years ago after a flood and turned off. It has recovered. Scenery is awesome with osprey abundant and an occasional bald eagle. Some big-ass gators which are very protective of their nests. Big Jim’s is a good place to eat. It is right on the lake and serves a breakfast that will carry you through the day; best oyster stew (outside of mine) my dad has ever had. Also, there are trailers to rent for your stay at a very reasonable price. A definite bucket list locale for any bass fisher. Absolutely beautiful lake. I hope you enjoy.

One of my favorites from Larson. Had it blown up, framed and gave it to Dad many years ago. Pretty much captured him.

In Larson’s early days he worked for a West Coast paper (San Francisco, I think). A co-worker’s sister would send clips to him in Georgia, and we would try to figure out just what the heck he was saying. The early stuff was so out there we weren’t sure about 1/2 the time.

Merry Christmas to all.

A boat like that needs a name!

Thank you!!! About to buy my first boat, ran Dad’s for years, and soaking up all the info/tips I can. You provided a great set of lessons.
