Well, here we go in keeping up the tradition on the blog with another birthday post. Nothing too deep this time around as I am part lazy, part tired, and figure that I can get profound next year as it is a milestone of sorts.

To celebrate this year’s age, here is a batch of “famous” 59s.

Before I get to the fish, how about a shout out to the Top #59 in my opinion. While the Steelers were the nemesis to my 1970s Cowboys, you’ve got to give Hall of Famer Jack Ham his props with his 1973 Topps Rookie Card from my collection.

All-Time Top July Bass #59 – July 23, 2023 (also a birthday bass)

All-Time Top Senko Bass #59 – May 16, 2008

All-Time Top Lake Storey Bass #59 – October 12, 2020

All-Time Top Hennepin Canal Bass #59 – October 10, 2025

2026 Lake Storey Bass #59 – May 8, 2026

Here’s to a good final year in the fifties and guess where I am celebrating well before anyone in my house will be awake to miss me. Yep, stay tuned for the full report and talk to you later. Troy
