• Crappie Fishing with world record holder "Jam" Ferguson

    About 2 months ago news broke that a potential world record crappie had been caught in Tenn and not far up the road. That afternoon I went with my son to a baseball game just miles from where it was caught. I was wearing my ETCC shirt and a gentleman ask me if I'd heard about the catch and I said yes and then I ask if he knew the young man.

    His answer was he's my cousin. I said Wow I'd like to talk to him and he pulled out his cell phone and next thing I was talking to Jam Ferguson. We talked about 10 minutes and I invited him to go fishing. It took a while but today we made it happen. His first trolling trip and the Crankbaits showed out. PICO Grenada Green led the way with bandits in crawdad and mistake also produced. Good morning on the water with 17 keepers. This kid can fish. Thanks Jam for a day with crappie royalty.

      I'll bet you both learned something from each other on that trip. Nice.
