BG and I go waaay back,back to about 1985 I think.
He really didn't sling swimmers with us much.
he was more of a wader and popper slinger than ANYONE at that time.
he got me into wading AAMOF,I have waded with him many times and always had fun with him.
I tell ya,this 70 year old can sling a 2 oz popper so far that you'd think it snapped off and just vanished.
this man would put many of us to shame with his casting ability,he beats me and I ain't no slouch.
anyhooo,I am happy to know him as he is not a jerk that will not help you land a fish.he will share spots that hold fish and things that work.

Old daiwa gold series
Rip Pluggers old daiwa gold series GS-30,totally rebuilt by him years ago right before the bottom fell out of fishing for choppers.
The slump lasted 2 seasons then bass and small choppers came back! 1984.

The stories of the old salts will always live on as their legacy. Many consider themselves great fisherman but I think it takes years and years to build a reputation and become 1st rate. RP it's great that you were able to go and learn things from what seems to be one of the best out there.
