My Granddaddy in the middle with his two sons. That's my Daddy on the left and my uncle on the right. Taken in the early '60s. My granddaddy dearly loved to fish. I sure miss him.

Thanks guys. My Granddaddy used to catch big ones like that pretty regularly. Put their heads on fence posts around his house. He used a Zebco 404 and Creme worms with the hook exposed. Drove my uncle crazy. He used to try to give him lessons, saying "Pop, why don't you get a good reel? Pop, let that worm go to the bottom-you're reeling too fast!"

Pop would just say, "Go look at my fence posts, boy." smile

He was not a big hunter. He hunted squirrels for the pot and would shoot a quail if he jumped one, but that was about it. Few deer in Nacogdoches county back then. He and I squirrel hunted a good bit together but I don't have/know of a single photo of him hunting. Wish I had one.

Did he like to fish big waters like Sam Rayburn, or mainly small ponds and lakes?

Yesterday afternoon, I puttered around on my little paddle boat and caught a dozen bass on Chuggers and spinners from my pond. Nothing as big as your grandfather's, but relaxing as all get-out....

In my next life, I think I may fish more.

Thanks for sharing that bit of nostalgia, NGP.

dawaba he fished mostly small to medium sized lakes like private lakes and Lake Murvaul near Carthage and Lake Timpson - mainly because they were close. My Dad and Uncle took him to Rayburn and Toledo Bend a lot and he loved it. He would not go to the big lakes alone though, as his boat was too small and the big water was a little much for him. Just about every weekend most of us in our family were bass fishing somewhere - it was a great way to grow up. Like you, I am wistful for it. I may just get me a bass boat and start going again one of these days.

Side story: My Pop (that's what we called my Granddaddy) told me stories of getting down in the creeks and grabbing big Opalousas/yellow catfish by hand way back before the stories of "noodling" became popular. He and his buddies were doing it way back in the '20s and '30s. They called it "grabbling".

Thinking it would take some time to best Pop's fish in that photo, but you could do the same pose with a small ditch pickle you can catch grin
