Now since my dad and granddaddy are no longer around, I got the Chilly name. I have got some big crappie fishing shoes to fill. Mr. Chilly was a helluva crappie fisherman. He used to fish grenada lake and routinely catch the limit, when the limit was 50!!! There have been many times when a 48 quart cooler would be filled with fish, very little ice, and a few on the stringer that would not fit in the cooler. More than you guys probably wanted, but it nice to reminisce.

Good story Chilly, I liked that...my granddad has passed on too and he could flat out wear the crappie out at 'Nader!! What I would give to have him back and going fishing with him everyday!!! Man,...wished I'da went a lot more than I did with him!!
