I'm sure getting the opportunity to fish against his son and his buddy, Gary Yamamoto, has given him the motivation to fish competitively again. Good for him.

That's awesome. Love him or hate him, he's a legend. Every event he shows up at will be that much more fun for the rest of the field.

I agree Good for him! On another recent thread someone posed the KVD vs Clunn question, I would love to see a tournament featuring guys like Clunn, Martin, Parker, Houston, Klein etc etc and todays best all in the mix. The wonderful thing about fishing is that the fish have no clue who is throwing that plug, how old they are, who does or doesn't sponsor them, their AOY standings, how rich and famous they are.or even what day-week-month-year or century it is.

I hope I can still climb into a boat when I'm 71 son. He looks darn good. I hope he cleans their clocks.

Now that he's unretired I'm going to unretire his best lure........that's right I'm breaking out the Helicopter Lures!!!!

keithdog · 11-17-11, 08:48 PM

Thats really going to add excitment to the tour for sure. I wonder which compartment on his boat he keeps his Depends in?

bamabassman · 11-17-11, 10:50 PM

I wonder if he will have his pocket rocket fisherman lined up on the deck?

Tavery5 · 11-19-11, 06:47 PM

Will be interesting to see how he matches up against the young guns.

Hey now, that's the Rocket Fishin' Rod, and it's cool!!! I dropshot my smallies with these, with a red hook and helicopter lure too... so sensitive you can feel fish fart.
