Flash Back Friday: Are you a one trick pony?

FBF: Are you a one trick pony? I sure hear a lot on people saying that they will ONLY use One Technique and Tool like a big baits, or just flip, maybe splitshot, or I only love to dropshot, no, I am going to drag a jig until my arms fall off. I would rather be versital in my tools and techniques and change to what the fish want to eat rather than me trying to force feed them what I want to throw at them. I like having my arms fall off holding butter ball bass at the end of the day rather than saying I never laid my jig rod down! Can you relate?

Way Back Wednesday: How about way cool Wednesday? Here is a pic from the late 90's after a day of fun fishing with a BASS Classic Champ, do you know his name? Answer is below.
