Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

 For all that may not know. Byrum Pastaway sunday 3-11-12. In his home in Livonia. He was a large supporter of our sport, by sponsoring many tournaments and local charities. He will be vary much missed.

Barney as what many of us knew him by was a member of the Livonia Backlashers Bass Club.  Barney was one of the original founding members.  I am a member of that club and became very close to Barney because of the club.  I know we in the Backlashers will miss him.  He was a staple in the bass fishing community and was one of the original fisherman in the TNT Belleville Trail that fishes Tuesday Nights.  That trail was started over 30 years ago by Tim Katona who was the original owner of South Street Tackle.  Also Roger Bentley and Mel and I can not remember Mel's last name, all knew Barney and they always used to have their annual end of the season banquet at Hope's Fish and Chips in Livonia when it was open.  Barney was the owner and operator of that restaurant.  Roger and Mel along with Tim and the original support of Barney is what made that trail successful when it got started so many years ago. 

Just a little history for anyone who would be interested.
