Such a nice fellow, with a love for the water and his family. It is so disappointing to know Leon and I will not fish together anymore, but am so glad to have had the chance to spend a day with him.
We spoke of fishing and our wives and children and how we were both blessed to enjoy all 3. That's the kind of fishing partner that I enjoy the most. Loves what he has and knows how precious it is in his life.
