Re: Was I the only guy to see Jimmy Houston screw up bad?
How old is Jimmy anyway? I recently went to the tackle store to buy some of my favorite baits and could not remember the name or color. Now that does not bode well for an old tackle collector and fisherman. But, I am now 73, (I think) so I guess I can get a little slack cut.
