"Will you stop?" groused Jimmy. "You're driving me crazy! Every time I turn around, you have that camera stuck in my face." We were in his office, and I was bored, so I started taking pictures of his stuff, since he wouln't let me take any more of him.
Jimmy speared this 10 pound lobster, now mounted and enshrined, on the first day of lobster season (August 1) in the mid-eighties, on a reef near Walker's Cay in the Bahamas.
In 2003, Jimmy and Kenny Scruggs (with a wee bit of help from Barry, a local Bahamian guide) got 86 lobsters on opening day. We kept what we could eat and gave Barry the rest to use or sell.
A few years ago, I painted Jimmy this watercolor of Susie, one of our favorite pointers, now long gone to the Happy Hunting Grounds. ******************************************************************************
