Dude may have taught me more about being an organized and effective fisherman than anyone I've ever met.... He was a great guy and I feel honored to have spent the time I did with him. He lived life hard. Like Stam said, I hope he finally finds what he was looking for.
The fish weighed #30, not #27. Believe me, I remember the truck breaks locking up when he realized he had shorted himself an inch on the tape..... What a guy. He will be missed.
