Writing this book has been a joyful experience for the author; remembering old fishing buddies, the good times shared, and retelling the funny stories that made each trip a special memory to be cherished for many years to come. Don Tucker has been blessed to grow up in a small town with many "characters" as citizens, and he hopes to give the reader a smile by sharing the humor of many good times. Whenever he is having a "bad" day or just feeling blue, he simply opens up his "Angler's Chest" full of smiles and memories and cheers up. Fishing has always been an important part of what makes life worth living. It's the perfect sport. There are so many kinds of fish, with even more ways to catch them. There's an angle for every angle. All you need is water and the ability to think big Fishing floats troubles away, renews the spirit, and fills your heart with joy. Fishing is not a contest against the fish, but a contest with nature and discovering its special wonders. It is for all ages, young and old. So, sit back and relax. Take your shoes off, and feel the river mud between your toes.
