Dream fishing trip pays big bass dividends in Texas trip
Hook Line And Sinker by Chester Rodgers recounts a dream fishing excursion on Sam Rayburn Lake during the SINS Outdoor Writers annual meeting in Nacogdoches. A foggy dawn, guides including Dick Wright and Newman, and a favored white plastic lure called Blondie or Hot Sport yield numerous bass, with Wright and Newman matching pace but the narrator holding the prized lure. The writer credits luck, camaraderie, and standout hosts Sam Malone and Dick McCune, concluding the experience remains a lifetime memory.
