I remember Rango and all of his great posts. I was going to a work conference in Charlotte and inquired about renting a boat while down there. Rango said no need to rent a boat, I could join him and fish on "the Beast". Unfortunately the week I was there it stormed alot, we did go on a night stalk, and I believe it was "OT" that joined us. Caught a few but more important had a great time. Then we went to another lake, with his daughter and another friend of his. I believe his name was Jerry but not positive, this friend fished out of a pontoon boat (but fished with us that day) that he later replaced the decking with aluminum. We spent the night in a house on the lake and joined in 1 of the stripper tourney's the next day. It rained most of the day, I believe I caught the smallest fish that day, but still a great time was had.
Sad to learn of Jerry's fate
