A long-Standing fishing friend
Stan Wright innocently threw out pieces of his unfinished Honey Bun into the waters of the Hwy. 1215 boat lane on Toledo Bend. We were there tied up to a big old stump fishing for big old bluegills. Myself, I would never have thrown away part of a good Honey Bun. But it led to … Continue reading
I’ll take it!
