    Awesome!!! Jimmy is full of energy and tells great stories. I love his honesty about how he picked out a bazillion backlashes and struggled to learn how to use baitcaster reels. Also like how he said when he is skipping way up under docks he uses his spinning reels. Jimmy is very personable

    I got to meet him when I was 6 on a boat ramp in Tampa Bay. He was heading out to scout for an episode and my dad started talking to him. And he asked how we did....our 17ft ranger livewells were full of sea trout and my first cobia. He asked my dad to go back out and possibly film an episode and dad declined because we moved to ga the next day. He regretted that the rest of his life

  • @poppafish428

    I've had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy on a few occasions. One was on Father's Day at Dick's Sporting Goods in West Springfield, Mass. We brought him a Father's Day card and a handmade wooden lure that was made locally. It was a great time. The next time we met, we told him about our first meeting and he remembered our names ! Incredible ! Blessings and healing prayers to him and his family.

    Edwin, I'm really enjoying these interviews with other professional fisherman. Looking forward to a interview with Gary Klein. Fished in a tournament he was in back late seventies. Hope you are getting your permits done so you can start your lake.🎣🐟

  • @todddickinson3262
    @todddickinson3262 3 года назад +1

    Outstanding!!! Jimmy hit on a very important factor in the story of bass fishing becoming so successful, and that’s the personalities and character of the people involved. From guys like Jimmy Houston and Bill Dance, to the guys like Dustin Connell, Ott DeFoe, Mark Daniels Jr. and Edwin Evers of course, it’s always the funny, approachable ones that stand out. The future looks very bright indeed!

  • @chadkeutzer8760
    @chadkeutzer8760 3 года назад

    There was a brief mention of a man named Jim Rogers. I spent many hours visiting with Jim. Had the opportunity to fish with him. Went to Church with him, his wife, his daughter and grandchildren. When our children were born, Jim and Babe were the first folks outside of family that we visited. Jim was a teacher of the art of fishing and one of the most generous men I have met. The legacy of Jim's continues with his son. If you have a chance to visit Liberty Missouri, stop by Rogers Sporting Goods there. They have a great store and a pretty good website as well. Thanks for the interview!

I know he did not grow up there but I wonder about this every time I watch him . Great video I could of listened to him for 2 more hrs easy . Thanks .

    Wow. I grew up watching his show in Northeast Ohio. Less than 15 years later I moved to live on Lake Tenkiller, Oklahoma. I bought bait and stuff at Jimmy Houston's Gas Station and bought a motorcycle and had them all serviced by his son Jamie at Jimmy Houston Marine. Never got to meet the legend though. I hope his wife recovered.

LOL. jus kiddin' ya. Just out of curiosity, how long has it been since you fished Gibbons Creek Reservoir? It's a very special place for me but I haven't ever had much luck catching bass out there.. Now the creek that feeds the back side of the power plant is a different story. LOL One day I am going to get to fish with you!!!
