7 Years.....Flaptail.

Hard to believe its been 7 years since Steve left us. I think of him often.....so often. Lucky we had him.

I remember the post "Flaps gone". I thought he'd gone on a trip fishing. Little did I know until I opened the thread. Seven year and it seems like yesterday. Same with Hab. 9 years in Sept.

No boat, back in the suds.

RIP Steve
I think of him often too


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.

Thinking of him makes me try to be a better fisherman. Always loved listening to him answer questions.

I never met flap other than a very brief moment at one of the early plugfests. (2003 maybe?). But I really admired him and his outlook on life and fishing.

Still missed.

I was gathering up some plugs for a photo shoot today and paused on my flaptail collection; they are a special plug and they were even more so in the hands of someone like Steve who appreciated them - as he did all things fishing and family. He is missed, for sure.

i was walking into a store and this real tall guy was
approaching me that looked very much like Steve in
many ways to the point i thought i was hallucinating
or walking thru a "time bubble" portal of some kind
my brain was reeling trying to comprehend it
then i realized it wasn't him at all.

Sorry to hear that John

A 20x28 poster sits on the wall in my mancave of Steve putting into the beach on Sandy Neck in his tincan to have lunch with the Professor&I after a morning of fishing on the eastern flats of Dennis.That is near a 3' black Habs needle.Tony C. and I still speak frequently about the two of them. Peace.
