My last interaction with Habs was for a charity raffle for some kind of unicorn plug that I just had to have. I sent Habs the money, he called me on my landline (I literally was protesting having a cell phone at the time), and told me he was going to ship the plug on Monday.

He never made it to Monday...to this day I still believe that the stupid plug went to someone more deserving than me, which is probably what John would want.

Miss you man.

Glad I got to know John a little bit back in the day! I remember being in "The Line" at Race Point waiting for beach stickers with Habs and Bassmaster! I went down to Goose Hummock once as John was going to be there! I bought a half dozen needlefish from him and he gave me a Habs cap which I still own! We talked about getting together to fish but alas......it never happened. Gone too soon. He was a great guy.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Great story Mugz, thanks for sharing it.

Hab was a helluva guy, he is thought of and remembered often.

he could clear a room sometimes pretty easy

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.
