10x10 Kenny Schwam

Dave the Bassmaster recently posted about Kenny Schwam. I had heard of him but did not know a lot about him. Another tragic loss too young- he died while fly fishing on the Vineyard almost 11 years ago.

It was clear that he was a great friend to many of the guys here and a respected fly fishing guide.

So I post up some pictures and a video of him fishing as a tribute to those who remember him. I am pleased to own one of his plugs now- thanks Dave

But also as we start off a new season, be safe. Don't die.

He was quite a fisherman and person

RIP Ken


and ya, stay safe out there while fishing

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

RIP. Death sucks! Too many people lost. Too many people left alone. Thoughts and prayers sent out.

Kenny was a great guy. I was just thinking of him the other day.

I think about him every time I go past eel pond. His name seems to always come up each spring when we are squidding in Edgartown.

There has been a lot of near-fatal fishing accidents out here (since I've lived here) that you don't hear much about but you really have to be mindful of what can happen. (even in calm shallow water) I fish alone many nights because I like the solitude of late night mid week surfcasting in hard to get to spots and I am not quite as fit as I was when I was in my 20's so I tend to be overly careful now and don't do the things I use to. And now with my back problems it is the way things have to be. Enjoy your youth, it will fade, but be careful anyway. When I see the Orange/white rescue chopper fly over my house and hover in the pond I know someone was overconfident when the evening started out. It happens too often
