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.
