He invited me to go with him on a BG excersion, man was that fun !!  He had acess to a small lake that had no public acess so the lake was not heavily used.  He had been fishing this lake since he was a young lad fishing with his dad.  We became great friends as I not only enjoyed his company, I could make his fishing trips much easier due to my ability to do a lot of the grunt work to make his fishing much easier and more enjoyable. All we ever used was a rubber spider with rubber band legs.  Larrybused a fly rod and I used an ultralite spinning outfit. We most generally made our 30 per man limit and only kept gills that were over 9" in length !!!  We fished together for over 10 years, until his health took a sudden turn and he passed away.  His xasket was filled with little rubber spiders from all the visitors that he had taken bluegill fishing.  Those were some of my fondest fishing memories to this day, and often think about how good those fillets tasted !!!!  Thanks for the memories !!</p></blockquote><p></p>
