Where the Wacky Rig was Really Invented

What's even more sad is someone trying to defend these acts...

 

Again, you are incorrect, this time by claiming that I tried to defend those acts.  But you know that & are just embarrassed because you got called out for labeling someone a pedophile who has has never been charged with such a horrendous crime.

 

I have no issues with publicly shaming someone for vile things they have chosen to do.  However, there is no reason to make up additional false charges against Mr. Reubens when those that he has already plead guilty to are pretty bad.

Someone be the better man and let it go. Who cares.

Not happy with your post, no humor associated with Pee Wee Herman, he is a convicted pediphile.

OK, I'll confess.   I invented the wacky rig in the mid 60's - using a Creme worm and my Zebco 202 after reading about it in Field & Stream.  I forget what they called it in the article, however once I tried it in my granddad's pond and exclaimed, "This is a wacky way to fish!!", the name stuck.  People started to talk which culminates in this post.   I'm glad I could set the record straight.  Speaking of setting the record straight, I don't know anything about Pee Wee Herman, except that I liked watching his Saturday morning show with a coffee and a blunt while I was in college and so did my girlfriend - I think it was her idea, actually.

I liked his movies also, I think they were funny and silly at the same time.

OK.  I invented it.  I had a bass tear up a Texes rigged Senko and I was too lazy to put on a new bait.

It's now the wackynewjerseybretfishintreebankbeaterPeeweehermanfootmolester rig, right?
