Cousin Rodney told me this story: He and his new friend Diane were walking around the city lake one evening last week when they happened upon a man in the process of catching a rather large catfish. Rod walked over to the man and commented about the nice catch. The man proceded to tell of the great catch the day before with that fish weighing in at 45 pounds. Rod became impressed and told the man that he was an advanced scout from the Jimmy Houston Fishing Show and that they were hearing reports of the large catfish that were being cought at the city lake. The man procede to show Rodney the line set-up and just exactly how to fish the rig. He also mentioned that there was an underwater creek in the area and it was very necessary to fish the edge of it. Rodney acted as if was very impressed and after continuous referrale to the Jimmy Houston Fishing Show, Rodney told the man he was going to shoot a demo tape. He told the man to wait at the honey spot while he went to get the camera and film and since it was starting to get dark, he needed his lights. Rodney and Diane drove back to the lake about 2am which was 5 hours later, and that man was still waiting for his chance at fame on the Jimmy Houston Fishing Show.
