The Old Man

Before any story can be written about trophy-size largemouth bass, it's important to understand what big is. Many bass fishermen visiting Florida hope to catch a wall hanger, a trophy bass of 10 pounds or more. And a 10-pound bass is truly a trophy fish. But the biggest bass, the record holders, are typically twice that big. In this prequel to "Queenie, the Legend of Lake Istokpoga", follow Bo Stephens on his lifetime of adventure. Always coming back to fish for the legendary largemouth, and passing the excitement, wonder and mystique to the next generation of fishermen. This book follows Bo's life and meanders through history, along with some fish tales, and leads up to Queenie, the largemouth bass.
This story was originally written for a fishing column in the Highlands Today newspaper in Sebring, Florida, and is now adapted to the two novels.
