    LOL... El Wrong-O ...Bonzo. I fish with Gerald down here. He worked at a Shell Refinery here for 16 years. When he won the Central Open points a few years ago....he was going to the Elites...sponsor or no sponsor. He was fortunate and hooked up with a company he knew of due to his refinery work, the guy who owned the company lived oversea and was really interested in American bass fishing, after Gerald explained the deal to him. It was a filter company, and after the 6 months of his first Elite season, boarded a plane to Kuwait for 6 months..to work his AZZ off there....that was part of the sponsor deal. Can't get any more Everyday Joe, than Gerald...good people too.

    When Gerald was trying to make the Elites trough the Opens a couple years ago, there was a Central Open on this Delta that year over by the Atchafalaya River. He wanted to fish at least one day on my side of the Delta, way east of that area. We made two trips and had a ball here, catching many nice bass. This is a pic I snapped of him on one of those trips.

    Probably correct, he is sponsored by 6th sense, and loves those lures.

    If you got time to pose for a picture then take the face wrap off , never understand a young pro who makes it to Sunday and wears a wrap on face all day while camera is with him .

    you ever think that most of these guys just love to fish and could care less about sucking up to the camera and being recognized.
