I had the honor of running into Gerald Swindle at the National recreation and Park convention last week in Indianapolis...Let me tell you he is one nice guy and boy does he have a nice rig!! Brand new Trition obvisouly loaded and a Silverado all decked out...We talked a little about bass fishin and of course I asked if he fished for crappie...His wife jumped in and says "ya, I like to fish for crappie, i wish he would just join the Crappie Tour"..That got a good laugh..If you all saw the bassMaster Classic awhile back, we talked about that too...Lets just say he didnt have much to say...But all in all it was pretty cool to meet someone of his stature for the first time and to be able to pick his brain...i guess there are some friendly bass fisherman out there!! just kidding
