Having moved on from the bass fishing scene to pursue other interests, I lost touch with a good many friends and great people - some older than I, but most younger. So when I received word late Monday evening that young (and he will always be such to me) Eric Elshere had lost his valiant battle with...

Hey guys, I don't get on here much anymore but for those who may have not heard, our fishing brother and my longtime friend Ronnie Kovach lost his battle with liver cancer on January 5. For those of you who had the pleasure of knowing Ronnie or were among his many friends, you were truly blessed. So...

It was some time back in the late 70’s when my then team partner Steve Wetstein and I somehow, someway managed to catch a 10-pounder and finish 3rd in the very first team tournament that either of us had ever fished. After the awards ceremony and still flying high, one of our competitors approached ...

God Bless You, my friend. Words cannot express my gratitude to you for all that you have done for me. I will miss you dearly, my friend - "Done Deal." Here are a few photos that I found of Don: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b341/socalteams/Misc%20Stuff/Don01.jpg http://i22.photobucket....

Don was, hands down, the best rep that Ranger Boats ever had - even by today's standards.

Congrats Troy! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy; and I'm sure that Al is one proud papa.

Ron C

Well that just sucks. Sonny is one of the good guys from WAY back. He always ran a fair and square tournament back in the good ol' Redman days.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, bud.

Most people fishing tournaments today in Southern California don’t have a clue who Jim Witowski was. Jim was one of the original members of the West Valley Bassmasters, one of Southern California’s very first bass clubs. He was a permanent fixture on the team tournament scene in Southern California ...

"ow ta speak Australian." It figures that you would know that, Terry.

I hope you are well, my friend.

This is a crawdad, NOT a lobster! I think I need a bigger jig!

Ron C

Congrats Brian! Must have been that GREAT pre-fishing at Piru in 40+ winds.

Ron C

Ended up having a Turkey Shoot over at Piru (about 10 boats or so). Brendon Widick won with a 4.11. Windyrnshit there, too.

I remember Jody White found a decapitated body wrapped in chains on the Delta many years ago during a WON BASS tournament. Frank Fernandes, being to compassionate guy that he is, asked Jody if he flipped to the shady side of the body. I found out later through teletypes at work that this new Delta &...

Good to hear from you Ray - I Hope you are well, my friend. I bet I got you beat for not coming around here for a while. Many of my old friends have moved on to the Big Lake in the Sky and it's a whole different game these days. Take care, brother!

Ron C

Never a doubt in my mind, partner; but take it easy anyway.

I just spoke with John Barron and they have delayed his surgery until an aorta specialist is available. John will remain in Kaiser L.A. hospital until the surgery. He is as upbeat as one can be under the circumstances, but your prayers are still greatly needed and appreciated (he said so himself). A...

Thoughts and prayers coming your way, my brother.

Get Well soon and don't hesitate to call (or have Marla call) if you need anything.

PS: Leave the nurses alone! - especially the male ones.

Thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend. Get Well Soon!

Hey Ray - About three months ago I asked John Barron if he was planning to do something about the date conflict between Top Stick Teams and AC So Cal on May 7th and have heard nothing back. You would probably draw quite a few of the AC So Cal guys if this date conflict didn't exist. Brian Linehan is...

Val's Action Tackle is the oldest independent tackle store in the San Fernando Valley. When I first started bass fishing in the 70's, Val's store was located on Roscoe Bl. across from the old Roscoe Drive-In theater (which is also long since gone). He moved his store to its current location in the e...

It is with a very heavy heart that I report the passing of Val White, the long-time owner of Val's Action Tackle in Chatsworth, CA. Val died suddenly on Tuesday of an apparent heart attack. Val was one of the good guys and a long-time tournament angler in the Southern California area. He would alway...

Not on the immediate horizon. We are in the very early planning stages of something big and will give plenty of advanced notice. Thank you for asking, by the way.

We're working on a few things for 2011.

I received an e-mail today from Topwater Terry informing me of the passing of former Castaic Lake Lifeguard Supervisor Mike Coash. Mike was instrumental in establishing the way that bass tournaments were (and still are) run at Castaic Lake and he always went the extra mile to assure that our events ...

Thanks Andy. Hey let's go fishing again some time. Always a hoot with you.

Thanks Long. I just spoke with someone very close to Mike and learned that he did, in fact, confess to his actions. Having been in law enforcement for over thirty years, I cannot even begin to tell you how many times arrested persons claimed that they were "sorry," when the truth of the ma...

Last I heard was this: "When confronted, Hart immediately left the scene at Callville Bay."

And of course it is silly to compare this to murder or rape, but it certainly isn't "sad". But as you say - this is only my feeling and opinion.

Ron C

Put it into better perspective. He got caught cheating in a game. That's not a hanging offense, even in the Old West. What happened to people who got caught cheating in a game of poker in the old west, sTony? I have known Mike Hart since he fished his very first tournament, and like everyone else h...

This is horrible news. Tom was one of the REAL good guys. Our thoughts and prayers to Tom's family and friends.

Not JDub, but he was using a Dobyns DX 784 C ML jig rod - the same rod that he won HBC-6 with. It is a 7'8" rod that is perfect for throwing jigs and big worms.
