Barta is one of my favorites, because of his personality and his

a knife. Here's an update on his medical condition.

I wasn't aware of that. Good to hear he's making progress. His
personality is a little abrasive for me, but he's a bit easier to take
than Lindner and Parker who haven't quite sorted out whether they are
there for fishing or preaching.


Hank Parker's personality makes me want to puke.

The dealer I bought my first outboard boat from in Jax was a friend of
Parker's (and many others on the pro bass trail - he was a ranger
dealer). He sold that dealership off...and the last time I was there, I
noticed it was owned and operated by Bass Pro Shops.

Anyway, after selling the dealership, he went to work for Parker as a
producer, I think, of some of his TV efforts. He was also overly
religious, but not as far out there as Parker.

Ron Lindner...well...I've never known what to make of him.
