Recently, my old friend, neighbor and fishing partner, Bill Priddy, was rummaging through pictures of his fishing exploits and came across one that he took of me shortly after I had caught a twelve pound, lunker, bass. The bass, a lifetime best for me, was caught in March, 1979, in Horseshoe Lake, just outside of Tifton, Ga. and the trip and catch were posted in “{A Really Big Bass}” on August 6, 2007.

My only picture of this giant, Bass was badly faded and over exposed. So, this one was a very unexpected and welcome Christmas present from Bill!
