Fisherman Drowns
 

Last night in Sandwich...Old Harbor. Just now on Channel 5. It sounded like 2 surf fisherman got themselves in trouble and one drowned. I know myself and a few others here fish those areas. Anyone have any news?

I just read that it was Bob Samuelson. My thoughts and prayers.

Mike from M&D's confirmed it was Bob on the other site.......

this is such a shock, and a huge loss..... horrible news.....

just met up with Bob last week, his easygoing smile was there as always.... thats how I'll always remember him...

as i asked on the other site, people who know Bob's family/situation - please post here about whatever can be offered, contributed to help most effectively/immediately.....

terrible news...bob was a good guy and will be sorely missed by many. deepest condolences to his family and many freinds.. please be ultra careful out there guys.

OMG, such terrible news. Bob was a great guy. Always willing to lend a hand. He will be missed greatly.

My condolences to his friends and family.:(

so sad to hear about. he was a good guy, my condolences

Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family. He was always super friendly when we traded plugs on the other site. RIP Bob

This is terrible. I knew Bob. We actually fished together on the Cape years ago.

I think i may have knew bob, the name was very familiar. What a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Every year we seem to lose someone from our community.

Very sorry to hear this. I had heard early this morning that two people were swept away, one made it out, search continuing for a second person. I did not know him well but everything I've heard is of a nice, stand up guy. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.

Was one of several contemplating going there last night. Figured it would be a zoo so I went to old semi-reliable.

terrible news.........always smiling ..great guy

Sorry to hear thoughts and prayers to his family and many, many friends and fishing family

A great person, a great fisherman, a great loss to us all.

OMG what a shock :(
My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
Another great loss of a really good man to the fishing community :( I am so shocked to see this.
Bob's a great person, and a really good fisherman. Conditions last night were tough, I wasn't far away last night until 2:30 am .
this sucks, what an awful tragedy , not the kind of thing you expect to see when you log on....
Guys, if you fish those places especially nights like last, wear an inflatable lifevest, I did last night. I am so sorry to hear this:(
we'll miss you Bob

It's weird how you react to the death of a friend. Especially when they're suddenly taken away. You're totally numb. Shock just deadens the emotions for awhile while it sinks in. No, it can't be. Not Bob.

Then it hits you and the tears start flowing.

RIP Bob, and condolences to his family.

And lets keep Greg--Little Bull from Red Top--in our thoughts. Greg was the guy who was with Bob, and who the Sandwich rescue guys got out alive. He must be going through hell right now. If you know Greg, and run into him, please try to comfort him.

terrible news. didn't know Bob on a personal level but that never stopped him from helping with a few fishing tips here and there. my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Thats awful. my condolences to his family. I'm pretty sure greg was the one who helped me yesterday when i stopped in at red top to get a few things. Conditions were scary last night i was further down the cape on the northside, and i can see how easily something this tragic could happen. Makes me think of all the times a wrong step could mean the difference. Be careful fellas!

What a sad lose for his family. My Condolences.

There is no way you have participated in this sport for even just 5 years and not had a moment when you realize you were just lucky not to be in that kind of trouble. A slip , a step into a hole , a sudden surge of current or big wave. When you end up on the live side of that knife edge of luck you just forget it in a minute. This is a sad reminder that you really need to be carefull at all times.

A big loss for the fishing community.Bob was always there to help and was a genuinely nice person.A quiet and accomplished angler as well.Terrible news.
