A Tribute to "Baby Jimmy"

A day out on Lake Wallenpaupack was no stranger to Jim Sr. during his lifetime as he has spent many a day on this lake during his lifetime and today we honored his wishes to take him out one last time on his favorite lake.  Jim who was a very near and dear client passed away several months ago and today was a day out on the lake to honor his memory and celebrate his life and share in stories and memories of him.  Today his sons Jim Jr., David, grandson Matt, and son-in-law JT headed out on the pontoon boat for a day of reminiscing and fishing.  It was a chilly morning with excessive wind, but that didn’t affect the anglers as it wouldn’t have affected “Baby Jimmy” which he was know by in this circle.  The group laughed about things that Baby Jimmy used to talk about and his sense of humor and how he always was in a jovial and joking mood.  The conversations about his favorite foods, music, and endless stories of his endeavours throughout his life were bountiful.  Baby Jimmy served in the US Navy and we thank him for his service to our country.  JT was cordial enough to read Baby Jimmy’s favorite passages from the bible as we said our farewells to a great man who will have an everlasting impression on everyone on that boat and so many others.   He was a proud father and grandfather and was loved by many including the staff here at Legends Outdoors and will be sorely missed, but will always be a part of our family.  The group would have hoagies and beverages while fishing with the sunshine on their shoulders on this memorable day.  They used mostly Keitech Baits including his favorite color of green pumpkin and Jim Jr. would mix in a variety of other presentations as they would catch smallmouth bass, pickerel, and an assortment of panfish on the day.  They had a good amount of action and they caught a solid amount of fish despite the cold front and windy conditions.  A great time was had by all celebrating the enriched and storied life of Baby Jimmy.
