Oral History Interview of Dr. David McKee, Part Two

Description

Dr. David McKee grew up in Sinton hunting and fishing. He later received his doctorate from Texas A&M University-College Station and taught at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi for twenty-eight years. He first started fishing Baffin Bay in the 1970s, and in this oral history interview, he fondly recalls some of his many memories from Baffin, discusses cabin life and fishing contests among friends, talks about the Redfish Wars and his work with GCCA (later CCA).
