I grew up on my aunt's paylake back in the 60s caught bass,channel cats,crappie and carp.my family didnot fish,back then guys that fished the lake taught me how,watched me on my boat when i was 6-7yrs old had a 12'jon boat and a sculling paddle,then i got stationed in Ft Benning Ga and i met Tom Mann in 1977. he taught me to understand strucure,habits,and all with his fish tank at Mann's World in eufala ALA. God Bless Tom Mann and hope he's catching fish in heven
