The James Gang on the water

It’s like old times, with a twist, today. Photographer James Overstreet and I have logged many a day in the boat together covering the Bassmaster Elite Series. But we are “senior correspondents” now – too old and fragile to do this every day.

So we’re back to educate the next generation. That’s the twist here – junior correspondent Gettys Brannon. We will attempt to bestow upon him our vast knowledge of on-the-water bass tournament coverage. You know, the tricks of the trade. It may be more than young Gettys can absorb. It’s going to be coming at him like a tsunami today.

Just call us “The James Gang.” And we’re ganging up on tournament leader James Elam to start the day.
