Holy Mackerel!

There is one of those legendary fellows that you might encounter in and out of the streams feeding Alabama's Black Warrior River.  A native of Barney, Alabama, this angler's angler is known for his strong hairline, Baptist baritone, tomato growing, and colorful language.  All the kids know him as the man who yells "HOLY MACKEREL!" at the drop of a hat.

Well, we sure know this is what Mr. Morrow would exclaim upon seeing the 198 pound grouper Oscar Omar Peraza Ramirez caught in May right up the Rio Platano near Ibans Lagoon in Plaplaya (Gracias a Dios, Honduras)!!  



My dad always told me that slow days on the river made for better stories.  While this story needs no embellishment, it does need sharing!  Let's give Omar the credit he deserves from his fishing buddies worldwide!  Share this legend's story with all of your fishing friends!
