It's been a year and 2 months since Mikey died.

Pebbles and I went to the beach on Sun, so I decided to make a detour and visit Big John at Jack's B&T, City Island, on the way there.

I gotta tell ya's, Big John is the same guy you see in the videos. He's a little less hyper in person, but the same smile and in your face good old fashioned tackle shop talk, and fishin reports. The guy is 100% real, no BS.

What you see is what you get. I had always wanted to meet the guy, and I wasn't disappointed. If you're in the area, they have great prices for all kinds of bait, clams, eels, worms, bunker.

And the late Mikey could attest to the fact that they had the freshest worms, and eels, in the whole frikkin area.

I'll try to go back when I get a chance and maybe do a video interview of the shop and how he got started.
