Super User RoLo Posted January 7, 2006 Super User Posted January 7, 2006 During the debut of pro bass fishing (1967), the name "Bill Dance" quickly dominated the pro circuit. In fact, most anglers today never even heard of Ray Murski and certainly not M.J. Watkins. Well I've heard of M.J. alright, but to this day I have no clue as to his name. In his brief career, Watkins competed in only 7 pro tourneys, but he finished in the "Top-10" six out of seven times (86%)! Does anyone recall the full name of M.J. Watkins? Quote
preach4bass Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Hmm ... M.J., finished in the top 10 86% of the time. Sounds like another M.J. I've heard of. Michael Jordan Watkins maybe??? Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 7, 2006 Author Super User Posted January 7, 2006 You might have something there ;D Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 7, 2006 Super User Posted January 7, 2006 I might just be M J. That is an old fashioned way of doing names. My middle name is N. Quote
