Wow, just logged in and saw this... Incredibly sad.

I met kid at Richmond beach--- Kev/Seastrike were with me, maybe Summerrun too that night?? Kev got a tule kinger, and Kid accosted us as we crossed the tracks to leave...

We spent that evening talking salt, river and Lake Wa fishing and I left that night with a pile of wisdom unlike anything I'd ever experienced... I have two lasting memories of that evening:

#1 -- "Michael Jackson" pattern plugs (black/silver flake)
#2 -- DRIVE THE BOAT LIKE A DRUNK (Sockeye season tip, if we ever have one!)

RIP Kid.... You were a prodigy.
