February '08 SKA Hall of Fame Inductee
Jack Wood
Jack Wood, a charter member of the association from North Carolina, joins a short list of inductees into the SKA’s Hall of Fame. His accomplishments include a National Championship title in ’93 and again in 2000 plus numerous big event wins. Rick Smith is the only other two time National Champion. It is believed however, that most will praise Jack for his conservation efforts and his ability to teach others the art of king mackerel fishing. Remember conservation was never on the front burner in North Carolina in the early days of our sport, but there was Jack, in the forefront preaching that if we want to have healthy stocks, we had to stop killing so many fish. Soon Carolina events went to one fish per event, aggregates and fish bowls going away. His preaching for menhaden reform did not go unnoticed. Gentleman Jack is still a young man with many years of bending a rod left. It is believed that he still has a few more titles under his belt. He currently fishes with Dan and Ken Upton on the Team Donzi boat. They had a great shot at the “Angler of the Year” title last year but fell just short of their goal. It could happen this year! Congratulations Jack. |
