During a slight respite from fishing, Hal added up the fishing results since he retired in April 1998. He fished 2154 times and caught 23,230 bass for an average of 10.78 per trip. That’s a trip every 3.22 days, or 113 trips per year, using a smooth 19 years of fishing. A lake in the backyard helps on the number of times but the figures are pretty impressive. Here he is with a couple of tight eyes.
