Gil Gliottone

I really hope he pulls though

A friend of mine was fishing with Gill one really cold fall day and gill landed a beauty of a bass.. over 40 pounds if I remember the story right. Gill stashed the bass in the dunes and they fished for another hour or 2. When it was time to leave, Gill proudly took his bass down to the wash to get the sand off and as soon as the bass hit the water ZING!!!!...... it came back to life and swam off leaving Gill fishless

I love that story

Eben, that is a true story. Happened about 5 years ago at Deep Hole. I had just left Gil. He had a 40 and a 35. When he was washing off the 40 it woke up and swam away.
He is still alive, as of last night. he did suffer a cerebral hemmorage. They were doing brain scans last night but I don't know anything further. I'll post as soon as I have news. Thanks to everyone for their prayers. That's what makes this site the best. One big family.

I hope he has a quick recovery and is back at deep hole soon catching and releasing 40's. Thats a great story

I've spoken with him on the beach a bunch of times over the years - there's an old-guard Naragansett fisherman who really knows his stuff. Best wishes...

Brain scans have shown that Gil is brain dead. The family has not made the final move as they are waiting for a granson (in the Air Force) enroute from Iraq. I believe he arrives today. They would like him to say his goodbys to his grandfather.
For those of you who would like to pay last respects, I will post when I know the details.
