With the collective minds and institutional memories posted on this board I was wondering if anybody could tell me what ever happened to a NW Legend, Spinner Bill? I remember Bill (Blakey?) in his 12' high laker off the hook in PA mooching for Kings in August. What a soulful guy. I know he must have been in his '80's when I was first introduced to the gentleman. I know he was only one of a few who caught some 50#+ fish here in WA. I'd appreciate any memories anybody may have about this gentleman.

This is just coincidence I am sure but I bought a 12 foot hilaker in P.A two years ago.I will ask my wifes gpa who he got it from,he is the one that found it for me.I have never seen another one although the John Wayne marina rents 14s.
