Catt - Wesley - Whom ever

Who is the expert fisherman on Sam Raburn now that we lost Jack (fish for dollars) I only fish Raburn about twice a year and Jack was always a wealth of information and willing to help. We have a small 10 man club tournament on May 21 and 22nd. I think we are putting in at Jackson Hill. Thanks Dutch
