Although I knew about his efforts as a pioneer and an advocate I took my copy of Striper Wars to work last night and re-read the chapters documenting his efforts on behalf of the striped bass and the sport
His was an exemplary life
I had the chance to meet him with Habs and on a shelf over the workbench in my tackle room is an old eel squid with the Stripers Unlimited logo on it that Habs gave me
It reminded me that without Bob Pond's commitment we might likely not be doing what it is we are able to do now that is such a big part of our lives
Thank you, Mr Pond - rest easy, it was a life well-lived
My condolences to his family and friends
