Hi, I’m John Stafford and am a new member in the Panhandle Bass Club, December, 2007. I have been bass fishing for the past 30 years from California, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri, and Florida. My largest bass ever is 9.75 pounds. I have a 518 SVX Ranger Boat with a 200 HP Mercury Optimax. I enjoy all my grandkids, traveling, and hunting.
