Our sincere condolences to his family and friends. May they find some comfort in knowing that he died doing what he must have enjoyed very much.

It is certainly a tragic reminder however for the rest us of the everpresent risks that haunt our passion. And no doubt our friends and family would also rather have us back too than one more fish on the punchcard, another yarn for the board or one more grip and grin for the wall. Be careful out there!
Live to fish another day.
