Is it true that you once set the hook on the lake bottom and after a brief fight , landed it ?

 Have you ever done any tight line fishing, for Rock Bass [ stripe Bass ] in Rivers

I am lucky enough to live close to Roanoke river and the strippers run it on the way to spawn

Deep water fishing, c-rig or football jig? Which do you prefer?

Never knew strippers "spawned" in rivers... Bars are a better place to fish for them from what I've heard.

If it want for the smart girl setting in front of me in the 5th grade,  I would still be there trying to pass spelling  lol

No way I could narrow it down to just one question. I'd just say thanks for being such a great ambassador to the sport and an inspiration for so many.  

 

One of my pro fishing idols growing up. Used to go over to my gf's house every Saturday morning (cause they had cable) as a teenager to watch the fishing shows. Hank's was always my favorite.

Have used the Hank Parker Classic Spinner Baits for years. How did you & Mann's come up with the design and use the Indiana gold blades? And, always liked to use the 1/8 oz. spinner bait for small waters but no longer find it made?  In fact, its presence in all sizes is not what it was years ago. Glad I stocked up on 'em yrs. ago.

 

Still a great spinner bait.

Just joking with you, autocorrect doesn't recognize "stripers" so it changes it to "strippers".  Done it a few times myself before I realized autocorrect doesn't recognize that word.

How is the guy who makes his Signature spinnerbaits coming along with my order?

When are the rattlebaits coming out? Love the idea of a floating and suspending model as well as the sinker.

I grew up watching your show as much as possible, it was always my favorite.  Angie and the kids were always a big part of the program.  What are they all doing now that they are grown, have families of their own and careers.  

could he do a couple fishing from a bank shows?

 

(if he has, I missed them)

Which fishing technique in your opinion seem like a local thing in one part of the country, but once found by tournament fishermen spead the fastest nation wide?

Jeremy Omaha, NE

With ten years between your Classic wins, how much did you see technology change in that time frame; and comparatively, would you say that as a result of that initial jump start, we as anglers become more and more reliant on that technology to stay ahead of the competition?

Robbie

I see you fishing a lot of spinnerbaits and even have your name on one or two. I caught my PB on one with nickel hammered willow blades. In what conditions would you prefer hammered, smooth, silver, gold or painted blades? Do you ever use a soft plastic instead of the skirt?

LOL. He has been the guest speaker at our church wild game banquet before. He's authentic folksy. I'll bet he answers to "Paw-Paw".
