I read an article he wrote where he struck a racoon driving to the boat for a canyon trip early one morning. After he hits it, he gets out to put it in his truck, because of course he's gonna eat it later, and the racoon bites the crap out of him. So, he finishes it off and then goes not to a hospital but to the canyons anyways. When he got to the dock after the trip he was ordered to the hospital by his clearly more intelligent wife.

There's tough and then there's stupid, you choose.

WTF?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

He could've done anything he wanted...what I would've done is keep driving! The whole story was effed up from the start if you ask me!

Who the F eats racoon? Who gets bitten by one and then goes 100 miles offshore to tuna fish for thirty hours? Seriously guys, I gotta question his judgement, bigtime.

And Bill, I remember reading about how he fished the canyons along ina 19' Mako, strapped fuel cans along the outside of the boat...

I see the phrase "He died doing what he loved" on his head stone.

Some Love him some don't, I won't debate that. I do have to ask the original poster if you hate the guy so much why the hell would you be on his FB page?
