Yeah, I miss Delbert from the Fishing Center that used to be on North Lamar. I also remember Tony and the huge bass they kept in an aquarium.

The first time I meet Doc was in 92 & he looks the same as did then. Delbert was a good guy & funny too, I got Smelly Jelly from him, he now take this home and open in front of your wife, you won't get in trouble that way,is what he said & laughed like hell. Good times, If Delbert or Doc did not have you did not need it.
