Darryl Worley Volunteers to Help America's Fish and Wildlife

Darryl Worley Volunteers to Help America's Fish and Wildlife: "What started as a fishing promotion with one of the world’s most recognizable songs, has led Country music star Darryl Worley to become an outdoor ambassador for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and other similar state organizations across the country. Darryl and songwriting pal Wynn Varble recorded “The Fishin’ Hole,” better known as “The Andy Griffith Show” theme song, and the song is being offered through a text-to-give campaign to raise money for relief efforts caused by a wave of natural disasters that impacted numerous states this spring and summer."

Drop Shot Hooks Angler | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "first saw a drop shot rig, I thought the inventor must have been nuts. Sure, maybe perch, bluegill, crappie, or an occasional dink bass would knock this thing out, but 5 pound smallmouth bass? Give me a break. What lunker bass is going to bite a little worm wiggling aimlessly 2 feet above the bottom on 6-pound test line and a weight under it?
