    Had to quit

    Most of you guys dont know me ,but i have had the privaledge to belong to bbc for a number of years . i dont allways have a topic but i do read your topic.s The reason iam writing this short letter i have to quit fishing docs orders iam 77 years old and cant handle the boat any more. I had a 2002 ranger boat with a 2004 200 hp yamaha motor. Sold the boat last week to a buddy i fish with . So i will still be able to fish a few times a year. Dont have to worry about the maintance of boat and hooking it up and putting it back into my boat shed. I will still read the topics and think about the past 60 years of bass fishing thanks to you guys that make it interesting to read thanks ken kindle

    I lost my fishing buddy about 3 years ago and I'm still looking for a replacement. I'm in the same age group as you - very few years younger, but if you ever get down to east central KS give me a shout.

    60 years of bass fishing, what a blessing. You have a seat in my boat anytime you want it. All the best.
