That is a shame Fred. I am sure his family takes comfort knowing he died doing what he loved to do. My deepest condolences to them.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

My Dad and John had been friends for something like 40 years.
He was without question one of the best giant fisherman in the bay - the real deal, not some internet tuna hero.
My favorite fall tuna spot in the bay is labeled "dixie tuna" in the gps b/c John was always hiding out there while everyone else went blasting all around.
Watched him nail a 780 next to us there maybe 10 days ago.

thats way to early to go
Sad to learn this about someone
so knowledgeable and full of Life
the only thing you can say is he died
doing what he loved the most
but that hardly lessens the pain of the loss.
My condolences.

Sad news, but it sounds like he died doing something he loved and had loved ones with him, but still a shame.

I heard about this two days ago. A custodian at my school here in Holyoke was a fishing buddy of his and told me about it. It sounds like he was agreat guy. Supposedly they had already landed two giants. They hooked into another, and were getting ready to loop it on the winch and he went down. RIP

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.
