ROBERT L. RICHARDSON

BORN AUG. 8 1928

DIED NOV. 25 1999

THIS IS THE BIGGEST FISH MY DAD EVER CAUGHT. A SIX POUND (APPROX.) LARGEMOUTH BASS AT A FARM POND NEAR MARSHALL, IL.

I HOPE TO CATCH ONE NEARLY AS BIG, AND BE AS EXCITED AS HE WAS.

HE NEVER HAD A BOAT TO FISH FROM AND USUALLY FISHED FOR CRAPPIE AND BLUEGILL.

I HAD NEVER FISHED FROM A BOAT UNTIL LAST YEAR AND CAN'T GET ENOUGH.

I'D READ A NUMBER OF BASS FISHING ARTICLES AND THE SUGGESTIONS ACTUALLY WORKED.

FOUND A NICE STATE FORREST IN S.W. INDIANA TO FISH IN, THE LAKES ARE FOR FISHING ONLY, NO GAS - POWERED BOATS, P.W.C'S ETC. ALLOWED.

PLAN TO HONE BASS FISHING TECHNIQUES AND HUNT FOR LUNKER LARGEMOUTH BASS (10 LB. +), AND MAYBE, ENTER SOME INDIANA AMATEUR BASS TOURNEMENTS IN 2009.

IN MEMORY OF DAD.
