    Default sad day passing of a good friend and crappie fishing legend


    Sorry to say that I found out a true friend and crappie fishing industry pioneer.Ned Rutledge passed today, after a year and a half struggle with stroke complications. At last free of pain and probably giving crappie lessons to the
    big guy upstairs. He will be missed by many in the crappie fishing community.

    We also knew Ned and can truly say he was a terrific person and crappie fisherman. He was also a former owner of Bobby Garland Lures. We wish the best for his wife, Betty and his family in this time of sorrow.
