Introduction
I have woven this story with country music, fishing, and a humorous twist of tales that take place in laidback Ozarks country.
Half the fun of writing this story of John Lunker Johnson, the pro bass fisherman, and his little friend Red was in my meeting and visiting with the country music show folks of Branson, Missouri. Invitations to sit in on the practice sessions and meet the singers and musicians provided the background and fine down-home feeling that I wanted this book to have.
I invite you to follow along as Lunker and his buddy Red do their best to keep the Chicago hoods from bringing gambling and other vices to the warm, homespun, Missouri town of Branson.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it for you. This book is dedicated to all who have ever wet a line in anticipation of catching a lunker bass.
