Jim is disguised
as an aerospace engineering manager, but he is actually
a "Harry & Charley Certified Week-End
Semi- Pro" and a successful outdoor writer. He guides
special parties for bass about 20 times a year. Jim has
approximately 300 published pieces and has written for most
fishing major publications (BassMaster, Bass'N,
etc., etc.). His most current endeavor is 'The Hungry (but,
lazy) Man's Recipe Book and Other Assorted Stuff',
due out whenever he has the money to publish it. Readers
who know him say Jim 'writes like he talks and
knows his stuff'.
In 1972-74,
he was the "Alabama Sportsman' on ABC-TV in Huntsville,
Ala., one of the first 'filmed on location' programs.
He prepared two freshwater fishing courses for the University
of Alabama. In 1975, he and another individual started
Military Bass Anglers Assoc. (MBAA), which is still going
strong World-wide. Only B.A.S.S. is older than MBAA.
He has 37 bass over 10 lb.. to his credit, with a 15 lb.
Stick Marsh critter being the top.
