JohnR 09-23-2009, 03:25 PM Hey John - look forward to seeing you and your mom shortly. I hope all is well.
I'm sure to wave and say hello to your dad frequently when I'm out fishing. I like to believe he's up their listening and usually laughing at me when I'm using an eel.
He's certainly been missed.
BigFish 09-23-2009, 03:34 PM We all remember your Dad John. We always will.;)

Went down to the sea tonight.Strangely I had every rock to myself,shrouded in an eerie gray mist. I threw his needles,black and then John's favorite white.Lots of fish,all small but lots of them. We had a nice chat....
Crazy Alberto 09-23-2009, 09:31 PM Hello Jr.
Indeed it's a very sad day and the KING is sorely missed! :(
Hope all is well and I hope to see you and your mom soon.

BassDawg 09-24-2009, 05:35 AM Hey, John!
will sea you and Jess at Flo's, i hope??
God Bless you, both, AND The King's Memory!!
ruhroh 09-24-2009, 10:07 AM Couple months ago I was throwing plugs at big bluefish. I went through the rotation and caught them on everything. The last plug in my bag was a white needle of your Dad's. I said to myself "I'm sure John would want me to throw this one too." First and only cast that day of that needle culled the only bass I caught that day.:) Amazing.

Finaddict 09-24-2009, 02:14 PM John Jr. - While I have never been fortunate to have met you, your father was certainly a gentleman and ambassador for the surf fishing community/industry ... always friendly to everyone, always willing to lend a hand and his insight ... his generosity will never be forgotten ... but is certainly missed.
Thanks, Andy Dear
Raven 09-24-2009, 02:32 PM Salute to the King

tynan19 09-24-2009, 02:43 PM Not forgotten. Jr, we will see you and your mom at the tourny. Casey + Kacie.
Surfpirate 09-24-2009, 03:30 PM I think Laptew said it best in this photo
I swear Habs comes up all the time, earlier today Pt Jude Joe quoted him to me in a text.
SurffishNJ 09-24-2009, 04:43 PM John Jr,
It was a sad day when Kadir called us on the Vineyard and gave us the news.
Your dad is thought of everytime I throw a needlefish into the darkness. He is sorely missed. Just read some of our emails.
Hope you, mon and all are well. See you all soon..............
IT'S BETTER TO HAB'S THAN TO GIBBS
Fish_Eye 09-24-2009, 06:52 PM Johnny, I think of your dad often, especially when I'm watching one of his lures work down the edge of a sculpted wave. We had a lot of laughs together and his memory always brings a smile to my face. I hope all is well with you and your mother and I look forward to seeing you both soon.
Perhaps this image says it all.
Pt.JudeJoe 09-24-2009, 08:46 PM That is very nice Mike.
saajr 09-25-2009, 04:36 AM Took this pic a few days after John passed.JR God bless you and your Mom
afterhours 09-26-2009, 08:10 AM i often think of john when throwing needles at night- he says to slow it down....and i think he's helped me catch a few.
Clogston29 09-26-2009, 02:58 PM definately the king. an old hab's 2 oz black over red needle was calling them in last night when nothing else would work.

HABSJR 09-27-2009, 06:53 PM Hi Guys,

Thanks!

Rock Hopper 09-29-2009, 05:23 PM Hey Jr.,
I hope you and Mom are doing well. I think of you both often, as I do of your father. His voice still rings in my ears and a lot of good memories come to my mind when I think of him. I was fortunate to have called him a friend and we were all lucky to have had him with us.
I hope the annual tournament, in his memory is a great one! I hope I can make it up just to share some stories.
Kadir
