Met up with my first canoe at Scout Camp... it was love. Got an old 2nd hand, 18 ft. flatbottom Grummon and fished all over East Texas through high school and college. Fished the Boundry Waters up in Canada. Floated the Rio Grande through Big Bend. Even strapped it to the top of the VW and drove deep into Mexico to camp and fish beside those Mexican bass lakes. After I left for the Navy my mom gave my canoe to my old Scout Troop. That was 40 years ago. I understand that old canoe is still making memories for a whole new generation of fishermen.'61 VW.jpg
