The Catch And Release Attitude

Bass fishing back in 1967 was more enjoyable than it is today because there was less boat traffic, and a lot fewer fishermen. I think the bass were bigger, and there were more of them.

A Veteran BASS Member

I spent the early part of my life in the U.S. Navy (1942-1948) then switched to the U.S. Air Force, retiring in 1967 with 24 years of active duty. I was on the USS Hornet (CV-8), of Doolittle Raid fame, when she was sunk Oct. 26, 1942. I was rescued by the USS Barton (DD599) and was on her when she got sunk 17 days later, Nov. 12, 1942. I later was assigned to the USS Bland, and we made four major amphibious landings in the South Pacific (and I never learned to swim).
