HERE IS PART OF AN EMAIL FROM DB: "Mark, I do have another photo you can use, has me in sunglasses which was the one I liked, but the ESPNOutdoors guys are getting a cartoon made of me to use as well. There will be an announcement soon that I’m going to be named Senior Writer at Bassmaster Magazine and Bassmaster.com and some other bass things." "Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you, I’m all for doing whatever I can to help the WNY area, anytime, anyplace." db Barone has fished Lake Erie and the Niagara River with several of our local Charter Captains and fished with our esteemed Bob Rich of Rich Dairy Products in Buffalo. Having just met Barone thorough my Outdoors Niagara website I am excited to expose you to some of his wit and humor and style of writing. When I read his first story, I couldn't walk away like I do with some articles. I had to keep reading and then searched for more from him. On this page I will link you to some of the most humorous and interesting stories on the internet you ever read by Don Barone or "db" as he likes to be called...... Mark |

Here's a part of what db wrote in his BLOG
while covering the Bassmaster Classic in South Carolina.....
"Outside my minivan is a South Carolina State Trooper, or whatever the cops in the wide brim hats are called around here." "It is exactly 5:03 a.m. on my dashboard clock, but since that's the "can't be late" ESPN time, and 10 minutes fast, it is 10 minutes worse than that time outside where that cop is standing..........In the pouring rain. Coming off in streams from his wide brim cap." "The cop's eyes are dancing back and forth from me to the dashboard hula girl as he approaches the minivan, which at that very exact moment I hit the down button for the window just as the windshield wipers sweep the windshield clean, and straight on to the cop." A little further in the story db relates: "I was watching a garbage bag. A white one. On a rock..........Every time an angler boat went by, the garbage bag stood up. And out of it came a tiny hand, and it waved at every boat that went by. "EVERY BOAT." "The garbage bag may have been 4-feet high, hard to tell from where I was standing, but as the boats came by faster, the white garbage bag just stood there and waved...........And from the lake, from the boats, a wind blew, and the garbage bag bellowed out, and back, and out from underneath it came the face of a child..........On that face, a huge grin. The smile bigger with every boat.".............And suddenly, the weather didn't matter any more. Beaten by a wave, a smile, and a child in a white garbage bag poncho." And here is what db found when he was in a hurry to pass his morning coffee at the launch ramp: "Coffee that makes you a tiny bit not as observant as you should be — and in a huge semi-hurry — making you fling the door open wide." [of the porta-poty]...."So wide that you jump on in… only to find the local angler sitting there, with his Camo Bib overalls down around his white-sock-ed ankles and frankly, not camo-ing anything"........."And as an addendum here, I might add that should this ever happen to you, it might be best to IMMEDIATELY shut the door instead of standing there with it all open and hanging out, so to speak, trying to apologize for the "morning coffee run."......

| Note: Because of copyright laws and possible grumbling with ESPN Outdoors, I can only bring you pieces of db's stories. That is why I have to link from here. db wrote the stories, sold them to ESPN, and now Bassmaster Magazine so that makes ESPN and Bassmaster the copyright owners! |
See db's story on our website HERE........... It will be there only temporarily as explained above. So do it soon! In the story you will meet db's neighbor "Skip," the "barlady," 45 year old "Chip," the "Lady in Flannel," and "Jimmy Smart," the guy that don't hunt but eats vital organs...................... ENJOY!.........

Quote from db; "ATTENTION all you restaurants on the road, please listen up: I DON'T EAT BUFFALO MEAT...don't care if it's the latest in non-fat-eat-this-and-you-won't-die-so-quick food I don't eat anything that has the slightest chance of RUNNING AWAY" |
| Take
someone fishing
If there is one thing in your bucket, it HAS to be this. Take someone outside. Spend a day with them. Your wife, your husband/son/daughter/father/mother/grandparents/friend/cousins ANYONE. Give the gift of the outside. The gift of fishing. PASS IT ON. You'll find out, as I have, it's not about the fish… …it's about YOU. About all of us. —db |
