Grew up Fishing. My Grandfathers Fished, Dad Fished. Always in a Fishing Contest. Mostly Local, Big Bass, Crappie, Catfish and Walleye.
Grew up Fishing the Famous White River. Full of Bass, Crappie, Catfish and World Record Walleye, which was caught at Batesville, Arkansas Lock #1.
Went to Work out of college/Vo-tech School doing Tool and Die for Eastman Kodak. They had fishing contests. My co-worker entered me into a Bass Tournament and I won. The addiction took off. From there I won just about every tournament, especially Big Bass. Entered anything that payed Big Money.
I make my own lures, Jack’s Jigs.
Fished From North ‘Canada’. South ‘Texas’. East ‘Virginia’. West ‘Washington State’.
A Local Marine asked me to start Guiding for them. Moved to Fairfield Bay Marina, then out on my own-Jack’s Guide Service-taking people out fishing.
