Tony, I smiled a little when I read this. George always told me to throw every female I caught over the back of the dam, but to make sure his wife didn't see me doing it. He knew he was getting near to end of life, and he only wanted trophies getting fed. I feel very fortunate to have been able to have spent a very small portion of his life with him.
