Alex Berry had the following to say on 01/20/2008:
My trip to Truman Lake with Coach Morrow was one of the best fishing experiences of my life. I was 12 or 13 years old. My sister, Heather, was 9 or 10. And up to that time my angling expectations were to simply put a worm on a hook, cast, and wait for the bobber to pop. If I got a bite – great. If I actually caught a fish – Wow! I can remember we started with a 20-minute boat ride followed by fisherman’s nirvana. I recall, Heather and I, throwing out our line and the next thing I know, Heather and I are pulling out crappie left and right. Too many fish to count, especially for a 9 and 12 year old. After this went on awhile I started to feel bad for Coach Morrow and my dad. The quicker they took off the fish, the more often one of them got smacked in the head by a flailing crappie. Looking back, this was truly one of the best experiences a kid could have.
