Three years ago today we lost this great man. Thank you Randy for everything you taught me about the bait business. You were a great mentor and an even greater friend. Thank you for everything you did for me, Jenks Bait, and for the Hayward community and our guests. Until we meet again to trap some minnows up in Heaven's creeks....rest easy Randy. God Bless.
