Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on January 25, 2013 at 11:05am: Thanks John and I"ll check out the link. You mentioned competitive aspects of life John, that's why I don't tourney fish for bass. Used to fish for bass lllllllllong time ago and gave it up mostly now for Gills and their cousins, Red Ears and Crappie Some of those fellas are putting it nicely , elite stye , and look down their noses at most other types of fishing..........

Comment by John Sheehan on January 25, 2013 at 8:09am: Here's a link to that book I told you about Tooty .It's not really a fishin' book but it looks like an interesting and entertaining read after thumbing through . 50 cents at a thrift shop .1959 edition hard cover with sleeve in great shape! http://bigbluegill.com/photo/cache-lake-country-life-in-the-north-w...

Comment by John Sheehan on January 25, 2013 at 7:39am: Those pics of old rods are great!

Comment by John Sheehan on January 25, 2013 at 7:38am: The joyful hobby of fishing ,the camaraderie of fishing is relayed through these fine books we discover .They take our minds off the nasty competitive aspects of life that can make a man bitter!

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on January 24, 2013 at 5:22pm: Inside shot of one of the color plates in this book and the old Payne Rods and others were just plain works of art. No wonder they bring young fortunes by collectors and users alike. Ya know John this stuff is all history to me and the young folk of today , mostly though no fault of their own, will never realize what they missed. I think That when you forget yesterday it's hard to see what tomorrow will bring..........
