Welcome little Z! Happy to meet you.

carolina-rig-01 · 09-09-10, 12:05 AM

Wow it is awesome to have you here, in fact I am honored to be the first to welcome you. We all miss your brother very much, I had the pleasure to meet him at the Kentucky Lake gathering last year and it was a great time, my wife and I really enjoyed the time we got to spend with the big fella. I spent several hours on the phone with him, most of which I was just trying to get a word in edge wise lol, that guy sure could talk but he always had a way of making days a little better just by visiting with him on the phone. Again, welcome to the site and we are glad you are here.

carolina-rig-01 · 09-09-10, 12:06 AM

AAHHHHH Man 1/4 snuck out of the shed just in time to beat me to the first welcome.

Hello little z. So very glad to see you here in this site. Your brother is missed by so many here, including myself. I'm lucky to have been able to have had some great conversations on the phone with him. He always made me laugh! I really wish I didn't live so far away as I would have loved to be at the Labor Day get together! From what John told me, you all had a good time together. I would have loved to meet your family in person. Maybe some day. Anyways, I have to get off to work, but welcome aboard. Glad to have you here.

bamabassman · 09-09-10, 08:20 AM

Hey girl. Glad you got on, hahahahahaha!!

Bassboss · 09-09-10, 08:33 AM

BigBassin144 · 09-09-10, 08:53 AM

Welcome to the site Little Z, It's great to have you.

Zooker was like family to a lot of us on here, and he really will be missed.

nofearengineer · 09-09-10, 09:22 AM

Hey, Little Z. Your big brother was a true giant on this forum. Always helping others with his knowledge and experience. It would be an understatement to say he touched a lot of lives.

Welcome to the forum.

Abbeysdad · 09-09-10, 09:40 AM

Hello Little z and welcome! I'll confess I didn't get the chance to know yer big brother Zooker all that well as we only 'spoke' a few times in here ... but what I did know, I really liked. He was a good man that deserved a lot more fishin time in this world.

little z · 09-09-10, 10:06 AM

Thanks for the welcome. Now I need some information????Zooker tock all his fishing secrets with him. Now that I have moved back home to the lakes I am going bass fishing again. I need to know what I have to buy like what kind of reel,rod,line wt? Do I need to buy a frog HAHAHA? What is the best lures for these lakes? I think 1/4 is the closest to the lakes so any infomation you can give me would be great.

A bandit 100 crankbait in Tennessee Shad is a good bet, it was one of your brothers favorite baits. Seriously I don't have much knowledge about your local waters but your brother made a lot of post on here where he talked about baits and posted a lot of pics of baits too. You can dig around through these post and get a lot of help.

Lilmoosecountry · 09-09-10, 02:56 PM

The good news even though he's gone. You can get into your brothers head of knowledge by reading some of his Old post. Welome aboard. He loved them bandits.

Cavs1123 · 09-09-10, 03:27 PM

Welcome little Z! Nice to have you here!!!!

CMorg · 09-09-10, 04:06 PM

Welcome. I used that Bandit recommended to you , and it does catch fish. I lost that my last time out , but I already have a replacement. Caught a 3# on it last time out.

bassintom · 09-09-10, 05:06 PM

Welcome little z. I visited with Zooker a couple years ago, we(the family and I) took him out to dinner at some seafood place near his home. I was supposed to fish with him this August past but.... I've been praying a lot for your family. I'm also sorry I couldn't get down there for Labor day but you all were in my thoughts and prayers. I will surely miss his long winded calls as much as anyone here. Again, welcome to the board, it's good to see you here.

To be honest I haven't fished the lakes too much. I sort of stick to the farm ponds around Fayetteville.

AUFred · 09-09-10, 05:18 PM

welcome aboard. Enjoy your time here.

MississippiBoy · 09-09-10, 06:50 PM

Welcome to the site. You're gonna find a lot of good people on here. Some not so good, but we don't really talk about them...
As far as fishing spots, Zooker was really good about sharing them with us. He also liked to take pictures of the areas he caught fish in, so we could be sure to find them later.

For example, these photos were taken on one of his kayaking trips. As you can see, he managed to get some very distinctive landmarks in each frame to make his location easily identifiable.

This one was from back in April this year...again, notice the easily recognizable background...

And lastly, this one from July last year:

Zooker definitely wanted to share his good spots with everybody. Good luck, and let us know when you find these spots and catch some good fish out of them.

bcklash · 09-09-10, 08:00 PM

So we meet again. Welcome little z.

bamabassman · 09-09-10, 08:09 PM

little z.mississippiboy was being funny ok? ol zooker DID NOT let folks know "where" he caught em. you got his map, oyu KNOW how to find em i think. the hot spots i mean. start out slow, then upgrade as oyu get your "groove" back.

and yeah, a couple of frogs are ok.

little z · 09-10-10, 12:10 AM

Bama...I am happy you said frogs were ok. I have three of them already. I told you what they stood for. FROG ( Fully Rely On God) my first investment. Yes I know how to use his map. I have found two already. Bcklash(BIG DOG) nice to meet u again also.

woody · 09-10-10, 06:46 PM
