Welcome to the “Angler’s Perspective.” Each week, I’ll share with you some tips, tactics and interviews from the greatest anglers in the world. My goal, is to make you a better and more informed angler. You’ll hear not only my experiences as an angler, but the Pros who actually fish for a living. With these articles, I’ll pass along my knowledge of bass fishing while giving you advice from professionals that fish the Bassmaster Elite Series, FLW and Major League Fishing Tours. I’ll do my best to entertain and educate you on the latest techniques and news from the bassfishing world.
Let me introduce myself, I have been fishing my whole life and grew up fishing small ponds in East Texas. I started fishing competitively when a friend of mine asked me to fish a team tournament on Lake Bistineau in 1990. Since then I have fished with success, several team circuits including; Anglers Choice, the FLW Tour as a co-angler, the pro side/boater side of the BFL Tour, the FLW Everstart and Costa Series, B.A.S.S. Central Opens and the ABA Bass Pro Shop Open Series. During that time I have obtained sponsorships from some great companies in the fishing industry like; Ranger Boats, Daiwa Rods and Reels, Gamakatsu Hooks, SPRO Lures, Santone Lures, Seaguar Fishing Line, V&M Baits and GRUV Fishing Tackle. I also own and have produced for 13 years an outdoors program called the “Hook’N Up & Track’N Down Show” heard exclusively on 1130 The Tiger KWKH and I’ve recently signed on as the co-host for a Facebook live/You Tube show called “Tackle Talk Live.”
While I don’t pretend to know everything about bass fishing, like you, I continue to gain knowledge and improve my skills as a competitive angler. Bass fishing is a great sport that you never stop learning. Today’s professional anglers are highly skilled in all phases of bass fishing including but not limited to; bait selection, map reading, casting skills, bait and tackle promotions and using state of the art electronics that are a huge part of today’s bass boats. The pros of today are well versed and understand how to take advantage and trust their electronic units in order to help them find fish.
So I look forward to bringing you articles each week that will give you a better understanding of what the world of bass fishing is all about both from a professional and weekend warrior perspective. Till next time, don’t forget to set the hook.

Being a Christian is not synonymous with being perfect. One of the most painful statements that I hear, all too often, and will unfortunately cause my eyes to roll slightly towards the North is, “I thought they were a Christian”.
When horrendous or shocking mistakes are made this is the first thing that most will mention and possibly judge you for. If you are a Christian, how could this happen? Were they not raised in church?
As Christian as I am, I am simply not perfect and that fact becomes more evident every single day. Knowing that I am not perfect does not stop me from trying to live a more Christlike existence. For too many seasons of my life I tried to be as perfect as every good Christian that I saw on TV or sat beside on a beautifully padded church pew. Perfection and I just never went hand in hand.
As Christian as I am, I will sometimes get angry and say things that I don’t mean.
As Christian as I am, I will still have bad day or two. Or three, topped off with a pity party.
As Christian as I am, I have still used swearwords when things go awry or in morning school traffic.
As Christian as I am, on occasion, I may still drink too many glasses of wine with a mild dose of guilt every time.
As Christian as I am, sometimes I am unappreciative when I should be giving thanks.
As Christian as I am, it does not mean I have the Bible memorized and can quote scripture verbatim.
As Christian as I am, I sometimes still forget to put others before myself.
As Christian as I am, I have remind myself to forgive and forget.
As Christian as I am, I am not a perfect giver or tither.
As Christian as I am, I don’t always take care of my temple the way I should.
As Christian as I am, I don’t always attend Sunday School and Church. Sometimes I forsake the assembling of ourselves.
As Christian as I am, I will forever know that God has changed my life and I have a faith and hope imbedded so deep within my soul that no one can take from me. The promises found in the Bible will forever be written on the tablet of my heart. This is how your life changes.
Becoming a Christian does not buy you a problem-free life or a guarantee that everything will be pain-free. Becoming a Christian gives you a place to take refuge when life throws you the unanticipated curve balls. It doesn’t mean that you will handle every situation the same way Christ did. It means that you are forgiven. Truly forgiven and filled with hope.
Being a Christian means knowing that his mercies are new every morning like small rays of light piercing through the very darkest of nights.
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning, get is your faithfulness” Lamentations 3:22-23

In a Memorandum sent by Winn Parish School Board earlier this week all schools events, activities, practices and games are suspended until November 30, 2020 which ends the Winnfield Tiger’s 2020 football season.
“It’s heartbreaking for the seniors. Anytime a senior’s season is cut short, it’s just something they can never get back. The rest of the team will re-group and start working toward next year but those guys are hanging their cleats up for good and my heart goes out to them,” said Tiger’s Head Coach Jay Watson.
“As a Sr. Football players parent and former WSHS player it saddens me to the core to end this journey we started six years ago in this manner. We are thankful for at least having homecoming but we hate that we didn’t have Senior Night to honor these young men. We have many great memories and the season ending this way will be one of the not so great ones. But like I often say, once a Winnfield Tiger, always a Winnfield Tiger!” said Shannon Blake, father of Senior Rhett Blake.
The cancelation of the rest of the football season ends high school football for 14 seniors according to Coach Watson.
On October 15 there was a incident at 1708 Front St. I Latasha Green and my 2kids were not held hostage or held against our will. I choosed to stay in there with my husband for our safety. These police mans are very crooked. Cornelius did not fire at the police man not one time. They fired at him while knowing that me and my kids were in there, my 2 year old has health issues. Not only did they fire they also threw smoke gasoline bombs through every window. Ms. Annie Goods have 30 window panels and 28 of them were broken. At the end of the day “right is right “ and “wrong is wrong” I truly believe there wrong!!!

After several days of ballot counting with results going back and forth between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, it has been declared that Joe Biden is elected as the 46th President of United States of America. Biden received more than the required 270 electoral votes and more than 45 million popular votes. Citizens could not wait for a sooner conclusion, especially when the country is riddled with a host of major unwelcomed problems and issues including a health pandemic where over 237,000 thousand citizens have died from COVID 19, and the nation is experiencing over 1000 deaths per day. We are suffering from a sagging economy where thousands of citizens have become unemployed and are being evicted daily from their places of abode. We see American citizens in large numbers standing in long food lines or driving through spiraling food lines in towns and cities across the nation. Racial injustice and strife is at an all-time high, police are routinely killing young black men and women in what seems like acts of over policing and the culture of white police officers throughout the country.
I have spoken to a number of individuals from across the nation regarding this historical win, Joe Biden becoming the oldest person to occupy the office of President and Kamala Harris soon to become the first African American and first female to hold the office of Vice President of the United States. Historical in that Biden will be oldest President to hold the office at the time he takes office and he is the president to receive the most popular votes in the history of the presidency. Everyone I talked to has expressed joy and excitement over the outcome and great confidence in President Elect Joe Biden’s ability to handle the nation’s business efficiently and compassionately. My contacts believe that President Elect Biden has a and deep and abiding love for this country and that he is a president genuinely concerned about and holding high hope for all citizens. They expressed that their hearts were filled with jubilation, their eyes were filled with tears of joy. We have heard locally from other citizens expressing their pleasure at the predictable demise and soon departure of President Trump, noting that Trump is believed to be the most divisive and racist President known in modern history. They noted that Trump’s daily tweets were designed to divide the nation (I have done more for the African Community than any president shy of President Lincoln), that his erratic and unconventional style of governance aided in shredding American values and weakened America’s power and influence in the world. It is believed that Trump is a threat to our democracy, and he lost valuable credibility with our allies throughout the world. One thing for sure Trump made it crystal clear that he was a proponent of isolationism and was an advocate for tax credit for the rich and rewarding friends while totally disregarding the needs of the middle class. In fact, it is my considered opinion that four more years of Trump and there would be no more middle class.
As one reflects upon four years of a Trump administration, one could not help but to look and be concerned about a Trump movement that attempted to turn back the hands of time when it came to expanding voting rights, police brutality, social unrest, packing the federal courts with conservative judges and justices. Citizens shuddered at Trump’s policies especially when it came to handling the COVID-19 virus, handling race relationships and addressing inequality, immigration reform, equal access to quality health care, criminal justice reform, reparations for descendants of African American slaves, educational opportunities, renewing the equal voting rights act, and more importantly truth and honesty in government.
Citizens are also expressing their displeasure with President Trump’s refusal to accept defeat and allow for a peaceful and smooth transition of power. Trump is contending with zero evidence, that the Democrats stole the election from him, and has declared that he will not go gracefully as all presidents have done in the last twenty or thirty years. Trump is refusing to accept the outcome from states headed by Democratic governors.
Never in the history of the nation have we had a record-breaking voter turnout as was evidenced in the 2020 Election for the President of the United States. Over 140 million votes were cast, which makes the 2020 voter turnout the largest in Amerian History. Now is the time for the nation to get back to the business of serving the people, versus the president serving their own personal interest. Yes, it is a time to celebrate but just for a moment because there is much work and planning to be done, problems to be solved in the coming months ahead to heal the great divide and bring America together again. The three branches of our federal government must work together for the benefit of those who voted for them and sent them to Congress. They know too well that a divided nation can never achieve greatness. We note that too many Republican members of Congress have obviously had their spines severed or removed as evidenced by their inability to challenge Trump on any issues or proposals.
It is a regrettable and sad moment in that the late Congressman John Lewis, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Congressman Elijah Cummings, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Congresswoman Barbara Jordan and others are not here to share in the momentous celebration and historical moment. The Biden and Harris win has produced new hope and inspiration for people across the nation, hope that better days are head. Thousands of people wearing masks and, in some instances, practicing social distancing have taken to the streets all over the country in celebration of the soon departure of President Trump and the ascendancy of President Elect Joe Biden.

Veterans Day is a time to honor all the brave men and women among us who, at one time or another, put on the uniform and served to protect our country, our liberty and our lives.
For those who never served in the military, it is impossible to understand the sacrifices that have been made for all Americans by those few brave ones; the time spent away from family or personal pursuits, the physical toll of training and fighting, the scars that remain when the battle is over. Every citizen owes a debt that can never be repaid, a debt to every veteran for their service and our freedom. And while we can never truly understand their sacrifice or repay their service, we can honor them, be thankful for them and remember them.
Not a day goes by that American citizens should forget the price that has been paid by our veterans, but on Veterans Day we pause to make sure we are thankful for each and every man and woman who wore the uniform. For so many, those veterans are sons and daughters, siblings, parents, grandparents, relatives or friends. Sadly, others are homeless or struggling.
On Veterans Day we remember them all, and we express our gratitude for what they have done. We are also thankful to have them with us — whether or not we know them personally.
“It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away,” said President Ronald Reagan on Veterans Day in 1985. “The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives — the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember.”
He continued by saying:
“There’s always someone who is remembering for us. No matter what time of year it is or what time of day, there are always people who come to this cemetery, leave a flag or a flower or a little rock on a headstone. And they stop and bow their heads and communicate what they wished to communicate. They say, ‘Hello, Johnny,’ or ‘Hello, Bob. We still think of you. You’re still with us. We never got over you, and we pray for you still, and we’ll see you again. We’ll all meet again.’ In a way, they represent us, these relatives and friends, and they speak for us as they walk among the headstones and remember. It’s not so hard to summon memory, but it’s hard to recapture meaning.”
Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Guardsmen — we are thankful to them all for their service. Veterans Day is their day. Make sure you take time this Veterans Day to do something special for a veteran. Tell them “thank you,” attend a parade or ceremony, volunteer or donate to a veterans’ organization, or perform a random act of kindness to let a veteran know that they are not forgotten, and neither is their service.
To all the heroes have served our country, we thank you and honor you on this Veterans Day. Thank you for all your sacrifices and for fighting for our freedom!
The right to vote is preservative of all other rights
Does this look like an honest election to you? Does it look open and transparent? Do you think it’s been conducted freely and fairly? Should we not give the 2020 election dispute the same 37 days to be resolved that was given in Bush v. Gore in 2000?
Every hour that passes since election day strengthens the argument that we are witnessing voter fraud in several states. If this is true, it is highly illegal and corrupt. Our sacred right to vote is a fundamental right and held inviolate for American citizens including the 70 million who voted for President Trump.
Our right to vote has been deemed fundamental because it truly is “preservative of all our other rights” (Yick Wo). In multiple places in the U.S. Constitution, in both articles and amendments, the right to vote is either referenced or specifically addressed and protected including by the 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th Amendments.
The U.S. Supreme Court has further grounded the fundamental right to vote in a legal doctrine known as 14th Amendment Substantive Due Process, as well as in the Equal Protection Clause. There are also landmark federal statutes like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983, which further enshrine this precious right to participate in our constitutional form of government.
Let’s consider a few allegations from the last 72 hours:
In Philadelphia, contrary to Pennsylvania state law, Republican election observers were apparently denied the right to monitor the counting of approximately 120,000 ballots because they were forced to stand back and away, for a 20-hour period, from where the counting was taking place. As a result, observers could not tell whether the ballots were correctly postmarked, addressed, signed, and sealed as required by law. There are also allegations that ballots were backdated to make it appear they were timely.
In Wisconsin, after election observers had gone home—sometime between 3-4 am—over 100,000 ballots “appeared” and were apparently counted and, in a statistically improbable way, all the ballots appeared to have voted for one candidate.
In Michigan, Republican observers were also denied access, again contrary to state law, to counting locations from which to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process. One woman who identified herself as an election volunteer in Clark County stated she had found a box of 500 ballots outside of the vote counting facility inscribed with the names of individuals who were not on the County’s voter rolls. In Detroit, windows were boarded up preventing poll watchers from viewing the counting of ballots.
It’s also becoming clear that a glitch in the computer software used in counties throughout the state of Michigan—and in as many as 30 other states—caused 6,000 votes for Pres. Trump to be switched to Biden votes.
Across the country there are still other allegations of fraud or irregularities, including after-hours counting and the discovery of “midnight” votes and what appears to be vote harvesting. Numerous lawsuits have been filed regarding these allegations. Unsurprisingly, a highly partisan “news” media is generally not reporting any of this.
Virtually every American is blessed with the sacred right to vote. (Felons and those with mental incapacity may be excepted). Many brave men and women fought and died to be certain that our government and our courts would guarantee the sanctity of our vote and the fairness of our elections. What we are witnessing now is a travesty. This kind of cheating and abuse is how violent unrest is sparked by Americans who simply are not going to tolerate having their vote, and this election, stolen from them.

On February 6, 1911, Dutch was born in an apartment above a bank in Tampico, Illinois. Soon after his birth, Dutch’s father quipped that he looked like “a fat little Dutchman.” He nicknamed him Dutch. As a toddler, his mother cut his hair in the fashionable style commonly called the “Dutch boy” haircut, which only reinforced the nickname. At eight years old, he, his brother Neil, and his parents Jack and Nell, moved to Dixon, Illinois, a city of about 9,000 people located approximately one hundred miles west of Chicago. The city was named after a John Dixon, owner and operator of a rope ferry service on Rock River, which runs through the city. Just north of Dixon is Lowell Park, a picturesque public area on the west bank of the Rock River. Residents and visitors to Dixon, including Dutch’s family, flocked to the park for picnics under the shade trees, whiling away the time on its sandy beach, fishing and swimming in the river’s normally calm waters, and hiking its numerous trails.
Dutch was popular and athletic. He made good grades in school and thrived at sports. He won varsity letters in five major sports. Dutch knew that if he wanted to go to college he would have to earn and save money for tuition. On one of his many fishing trips at Lowell Park, he secured a summer job as a lifeguard. On his first day as a lifeguard, Dutch saved a man’s life. The man swam in the Rock River and quickly found himself in trouble. Dutch saw that the man was struggling and rushed to his aid. Dutch pulled the man to the shore and “pumped the water out of him.” Rather than being thankful for Dutch saving his life, the man contended that he “had been in perfect command of the situation.” All Dutch had done, according the unappreciative man, was cause him a lot of embarrassment.
Dutch’s athleticism was an asset to Lowell Park. In 1927, his first year as a lifeguard, Dutch saved 11 lives. By July of the following year, Dutch had saved 13 more lives. In the seven years he worked as a lifeguard at Lowell Park Dutch saved seventy-seven lives. Dutch went above and beyond what was expected of him as a lifeguard. He taught others how to recognize when someone was in trouble, how to safely retrieve them from the water, and how to perform CPR. He also taught people how to swim and how to practice waterfront safety. In addition, he helped Boy Scouts earn merit badges in swimming and lifesaving.
Dutch earned enough money from his lifeguard job to attend Eureka College in Eureka, Illinois. He kept his lifeguard position during the summers to pay for tuition. While at Eureka College, Dutch got the part of Captain Stanhope in the college production of Journey’s End. He earned praise for his portrayal of the captain, but Dutch’s ambition was not to become an actor. He was determined to become a sports announcer. In 1932, Dutch graduated from Eureka College with degrees in sociology and economics.
After college, he fulfilled his dream of being a sports announcer and worked for radio station WHO in Des Moines, Iowa. In the Spring of 1937, Dutch covered the Chicago Cubs’ spring training camp where he met Max Arnow, the casting director for Warner Brothers. Max was impressed by Dutch’s good looks and his unique, well-trained voice. Max asked Dutch to do a screen test for Warner Brothers. Dutch agreed but had little expectation that Warner Brothers would be interested. To his surprise, Warner Brothers offered him a long-term acting contract based on Max’s screen test. Dutch left his job at the radio station and moved to Hollywood where he immediately began filming. In the Fall of 1937, Warner Brothers released three films which featured Dutch. In the following year, Dutch appeared in ten more Warner Brothers productions. Between 1937 and 1965, Dutch appeared in over eighty film and television productions.
Even with a career change and a move from Illinois to California, Dutch was unable to escape from his lifeguarding days at Lowell Park. In the Summer of 1938, Dutch was walking on one of the beaches near Hollywood when a young woman stopped him. They had a brief conversation in which she said that she, too, was from Illinois. She gave him a quick kiss, and said, “Thank you.” She was the seventy-seventh person Dutch had saved while working as a lifeguard at Lowell Park. A couple of years later, Dutch received a fan letter from a Miss Ledrine. She wrote, “You may not remember me but you pulled me out of Rock River at Lowell Park about ten years ago. I owe my life to you.”
Dutch usually tried to distance himself from the heroic tales people told about him. “The less I’m reminded of life saving the better I’ll like it.” In 1940, Dutch told a reporter, “It’s a strange thing, but the reaction of most people when they’re saved from drowning is resentment and humiliation at having been in such a helpless plight. I learned it the hard way.” “The only time I rescued a beautiful girl her heart belonged to somebody else. The only rewards I ever got were a pair of bathing trunks for hauling in one of my best friends and $10 for finding a man’s lower teeth on the river bottom. The rest of the time, all I got was abuse.” The abuse failed to hinder his efforts. During his seven years as a lifeguard, not a single person lost their life to drowning at the park.
In recognition of Dutch’s service as a lifeguard, Lowell Park named his favorite fishing spot Dutch’s Landing. In 1981, some 54 years after he saved his first drowning victim, Dutch got a new job. You see, Dutch, the man who saved seventy-seven lives as a lifeguard, was the nickname of the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan.
