    Default Death Is Greatly Exaggerated


    Hey, guys. This is Jim Porter. The subject was from a guy long ago, so I just repeated it. You may know me as the guy with the PERFECT Crappie Jigs, specifically the Gray Ghost jig so many like. Seems like the word is out that I went to that big minnow bucket in the Sky. Actually, it was my crappie jig manufacturer who passed away at the end of last year; not me. His wife also decided to close the company. So, I am still in business with the remaining stock, but the Gray Ghost is long gone until I can find another good manufacturer. I did have my cararacts fixed (which is great stuff, by the way!!! You can see again SOOOO good!). But, other than that, I am still worrying fish a lot and leaving women alone. Of course, at 71 years, I may not make it to the finish of this email!!! Anyway, hopefully this will stop the telephone calls to the 'supposed ghost' fisherman.

    Hi Jim;
    Glenn from Melbourne way speaks highly of you and posts links to your website often.
    However, ain't seen much of him lately on the Fla forum.
    I feel I almost know you from Glenn's hyping you.
    Have visited your website several times, but, seldom get down to the stick much anymore.
    Tight lines ......

    Who's that unknown next to you? I might have seen him somewhere. LOL I tie something close to the gray ghost and it too catches lots of good fish. Thanks for the update. I'm sure you'll be here for quite some time.

    glad to hear you're still on this side,by the way i consider 71 to be quiet young. Hopefully you will have many more years of fishing, good luck with the grey ghost
