I had a fantastic experience with Alton and our friend, Charlie Pack. He was a famous local fisherman. And he said, do you want to go fishing with a fellow named Jones? I said, I've never heard of him, there's a lot people named Jones. (Laughter.) It turns out the man I was fishing with is the -- wins the Bassmaster Classic. READ MORE Trackback(0)

My name is Mark Lane and I was just watching the rerun of your winning of the Bassmasters Classic. I heard you say you were from East Texas and you mentioned your website. I then read part of your bio and it said you owned a 40QDH Phaeton. I work for Tiffin Motor Homes and live in Liberty City, just West of Longview. I am the District Sales Manager for Tiffin in this part of the world.
I am a big fan of yours and am sick that I couldn't come to the Athens hatchery the other day to see your presentation. My wife and I own 48 acres here just outside of town and we built a 8-10 acre lake about 3 years ago. It has always been a dream of mine to build super bass lake and this is our attempt at that.
Anyway, congratulations on your win and if I can help you in anyway with your motorhome or when you decide to get another, I will do my best to hook you up. Call me anytime at 877-533-5554.
Mark Lane
PS - If you ever feel like fishing on some small water, please call me and we will make it happen.
