I'm pretty excited about throwing that bait this fall up river a piece.

It just looks like something those brown fish would like.

You're killing me, Bud.    :'(  It will be at least a week before I get to go fishing again.

By the way, isn't Benton, KY the only town where Joe Creason was born?

RW I caught one of your brown fish this morning it put up a good fight.  They will bite a senko or a kreature bait.

Olebiker  how do you know about Joe Creason ?????   That is a long standing joke in Benton.

Sounds like you had a good day,Bud!I'll be back up and running by the end of next week!I can't wait,It's killin' me.I'll have to try the swimming senko.Thanks for the report. CJ

Okay,you got me wondering,I'm a youngin',heard the name,but who in the hell is Joe Creason?And what's the joke?

CJ  Joe Creason was a journalist who was born in Benton.  He used the tag line the ""only town in Kentucky were I was born".   A lot of the old timers that knew him joke about it.

I grew up in Louisville reading Joe's columns in the Courier Journal.  I have a copy of his book, Joe Creason's Kentucky that he gave me for Christmas in 1972.
