He was the best bass fisherman that I can recall. He caught them at every lake in the State. He and Jimmy McCord were the team to beat back in the day.

They fished out of Jimmy's john boat and used scuppernong 6" worms, they could out fish anybody shy of Randy Horne.

What ever happened to Randy Horne?
When I was 25(38 yrs ago) Billy Goff won just about every tournament on Santee. I think he fished with a pro named Paul Chambelee a lot as well.
Scotty Scott is another good fisherman that comes to mind.

Randy died a long while back, he used to fish with Hank Parker all the time, Hank said Randy was the best bass fisherman he knew.

Odd, that's my dad's name (also my name and my son's name) and he was one of the best bass fisherman and wingshots I have ever known. Bodie McDowell and dad grew up together and fished together often. Bodie once wrote in one of his articles that dad was the best bass fisherman he had ever fished with and he had fished with the best. And this is a man (Bodie) who has a hybrid bass named after him (Bodie Bass). Dad fished Santee a lot, his tales of wading and fly fishing the Hatchery were awesome. But dad was only a jump shooter when it came to ducks, he was a bird hunter at heart.

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

My grandfathers other passion was wade fishing in the lower lake. He had a place he called e cow pasture that pe particularly loved to fish. Usually in Feb/March. He kept very detailed records of that as well.
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

I waded the cow pasture and fished for bass a lot back when we had hydrilla.

One my best friends is Bodie's grandson (Logan McDowell). I have had the pleasure of fishing with Bodie and his son Mark McDowell on numerous occasions and hearing some of his stories from back in the day.

Cool. It's a small world.

Did he hunt Parr? I remember being introduced to a gentleman that Dad called Moon. I never knew his name, but dad and he hunted some together.

He hunted Parr often. If you were in his spot he would come over and ask to join in or vice versa. Rare to nonexistent to see out there these days...

I have done that many times.
