Sorry about your loss....
Sorry to hear about your loss Jerry. I know you thought dearly of him. Just know when you're on the water, he's smile'n a big ol' "crappie" grin down on you, and everything that he taught you, you can pass down to your kids.
Now it's your turn to ruin people on crappie
I remember you talking about lee roy to me and my wife. Are paths actually crossed late that afternoon. Lee Roy caught a 16' crappie off a point we were geting ready to fish. He taught you well. Keep your spirits up Jerry.
