In '78, a high school buddy caught a 6-foot hammerhead shark in the Brazos River near the Hwy-90A bridge in Richmond, TX.

Got our place in 77, quit going down a lot after Andrew. If you were there during that time frame we crossed paths.

Not me personally but my brother-in-law caught a red near the Dow docks in the Mississippi and my brother has caught blue crabs in the Mississippi by Brusly when the river is up to the levee.

I was born in 79, so I would have very young. My grandparents, the Richardsons, were the original owners.

Well, the bream are biting so I'll be down there Sat-sun with the kiddos. I should have a decent stock of Diet Colorado cool aid on hand, depending on time of day if you're down.

Caught Specks, White Trout, Reds and Black Drum all over Lake Maurepas about 12 years ago when we had a bad drought. Also caught some black drum in Blind River all the way up by Blind River Bar.
