Being a native Mississippian, thank you, Dave, for having Alfred (Frog) Williams on your podcast. Alfred is a wonderful Ambassador for Mississippi... 💯🎣

[@JamesMiller-cu6bt]

Being from Jackson, MS, this was a great treat Dave! Alfred is a legend in these parts and I could listen to his stories for hours. Thanks so much for having him on the podcast. I look forward to it every Wednesday. And Jake is always a great interview. Outstanding show as always!

[@factsoffishing]

Thanks James, Glad you enjoyed this episode. I agree with you, I could listen to Alfred’s stories for hours.

[@coloradotrophyfishing]

That was awesome. Please have him back to expand on what he's learned from frog fishin!

[@PudJigs]

Great interview Dave! I appreciate you letting Alfred tell about his career. (Was neat to hear him mention Harold Allen) What an interesting life…

[@nathandavis3389]

From Western North Carolina thanks for your kind words and encouragement.Its a total nightmare.

[@edwardcowan7012]

I qualified for my first Federation State Team in 1984 when Alfred was the current Federation Classic Qualifier. He was also one of my Heroes that I dreamt of emulating. So excited that you had him on. Greatest show yet!

[@factsoffishing]

@@edwardcowan7012 thanks Ed, I loved listening to his incredible stories. Alfred is a great man

[@johnm2617]

IT WOULD BE SO COOL IF ALFRED HAD SOME PICTURES OF THOSE OLD FROGS ! AND PUT IN IN BASSMASTERS MAGAZINE! IM SURE PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT ! THATS HISTORY!!!

[@factsoffishing]

@@johnm2617 that would be incredible, I wish I would have thought of that before we recorded

[@nancyzipperer8819]

I really appreciate Jake's take having priority 😁

[@factsoffishing]

@@nancyzipperer8819 more like Jake is the opener for Alfred. I’m sure Jake would agree that’s how it should be

[@JakeLatendresse]

I’m definitely more of a can opener than I am the can of goods…and I’m ok with that. 😂 I’m just happy to be here.

[@lelandwarmoth3049]

Always love Jake. Would like to hear all of Mr. Williams fishin stories! Congrats to Bass Hall of fame for inducting a true legend of the time!

[@factsoffishing]

@@lelandwarmoth3049 he sure had a lot of great stories. I’m sure he has lots more. Thanks for watching as always Leland

[@davidcahan2978]

Enjoyed Jake’s Take. Always good “inside” stuff! Mr. Williams an awesome guest! You asking a question & letting him run with it… the answer plus great tangents! Listening to him talk about bass fishing history & his experiences was FANTASTIC!

[@factsoffishing]

@@davidcahan2978 👍

[@johnm2617]

Guys like Alfred are what bass fishing is about ! I grew up in the 70's! Love too see the old timers who were serious about the sport ! He is a cool cat !😅 Jake is always good to hear from! Hope his son is still following his Boxing dream ! Peace Dave ! 😮😮😮

[@factsoffishing]

@@johnm2617 thanks John, I totally agree. Great men like Alfred built this sport. Trust me Jake’s boy is working towards it

[@JakeLatendresse]

My son is still boxing strong. Thank you for the gesture!!

[@jeffreyyoung8605]

Class guy. Always good competition. Drew out his brother Ed in a couple Red Mans. Don’t be fooled by cutting his teeth at Barnett as a local. They were some sticks in the day at Barnett. Bob Hamilton, Jeff McGee, Dudley Saylers, Billy Perkins.

Im sure alot of the effected people in the hurricane area are bass fisherman/watchers and It would be nice if BASS would donate

[@factsoffishing]

@@edwood1424 I’m sure they are doing something. But I learned long ago to only point fingers in the mirror at times like this. If we all make sure to do our part together we can really help.

[@ASShole89]

@@factsoffishingthe government could help
