Fishing in 107 degree heat

Posted: September 24th, 2007 by Bill Dance

I recently had the opportunity to spend a couple of days fishing with my good friend and Zebco/Quantum_VP of Marketing Bob Bagby. He was in town to shoot new commercials for 2008. One of these is hilarious and will bring you out of your chair, but I’m sworn to secrecy about it. You’ll have to wait until 2008 to see it.

When we were fishing and it was hotter than a jug of red ants. We bass fished one day and caught 59 by noon. Bob had one 8 and one 7 in 107 degree heat!!!!! Ughhhhh!

The next day we catfished with my buddy James ‘Big Cat’ Patterson on the mighty Mississippi river, and caught about 18 blue cats ranging up to 45 lbs. Unfortunately, it wasn’t Bob who caught it- Ha ha! He did catch one about 25 lbs. though, and so this doesn’t sound so bad for him, let me tell you that he has caught a 63 pounder here fishing with us a couple of years ago.

Despite the heat, like I’ve always said, this proves that the best time to go fishing is anytime you can go.
