In Memoriam

 

The day after my birthday, 2005 I lost a very good friend. Someone who was influential in my boating and fishing 'life', but a helluva guy besides. 

 

Some of you clients fished with him as 'mate' a few times, some of my old 'mates' fished with him on fun trips....no one would forget the guy. He was knowledgeable, to the point of making us all crazy (LOL) but helpful, resourceful...you couldn't have a better guy on your boat. Nor a better friend when you were in need. Here's to Bob Wald, safe trip my friend. Click on shots for larger pic.

 

Fishermen's Prayer
 
I pray that I may live to fish
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord's great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep.
