Johnny was a great guy, always willing to help anyone when on the dock or out on the water, gave me a lot of advice on the boat and fishing for tuna.
He had started doing some combo whale watch/tuna trips on his boat, and was doing a good bit of business. One day we were out on the Beth Ann on a combo trip as well, watching five humpbacks behave like dolphins, and there were maybe four or five recreational boats getting in real close - TOO CLOSE. John called over to me with an appropriate description of how he felt about that, shaking his head - he had a respect for the fishery he loved.
RIP Johnny, thanks for advice.
