Berry would tell the story that he had never gotten a traffic ticket but only God knows how many states he had received a fishing with no license ticket!  Berry loved fishing no matter where he was visiting or driving through states.  He always carried a fishing rod and tacklebox in the truck with him.  He stopped dozens of times to try out a creek or stream and been caught!  Berry was a member of the Cusseta Bass Club.  He loved catfishing!
