Twenty-Seven Years & Counting
Smoothie ventured out yet again for what would be 27 years
of being with Legends Outdoors. Once
again this would be his traditional Good Friday trip. Typically gloves and heat packs would be a
part of the attire, but not in 2022 as the holiday fell in the middle of the
month and the day would warm up nicely. With
water in the low 40’s, Smoothie was more than at home fishing slow and methodical
for the fish that swim in Lake Wallenpaupack.
He poked and prodded at this temperamental body of water to muster up
about half a dozen bites on the outing.
The bites that he did entice were good ones as he lost what was surely a
striped bass, caught his personal Lake Wallenpaupack best of 21 ½” smallmouth
bass and also a few other nice smallmouths on the day. The wind howled on this day, but Smoothie
kept at it as he soaked in the warm rays of the springtime sun. He kept fueled with Legends Outdoors homemade
pizza on this Lenten Friday. He was also
sporting his new royal blue Legends Outdoors Hooded Sweatshirt and a Camouflage
Legends Outdoors Hat to show his team spirit which we deeply appreciate as well
as his loyalty and friendship throughout these 27 years he has been with us.
