Lost a great guy today

A friend of mine passed away today from Covid. Super kind gentle soul.
Fished with him for years. His poor wife who has Covid herself had to make the call to end life support.
A few weeks ago they were fine.
Tragic story.
Really hits home.

May fortune favor the foolish....

Scary and tragic, personally being extremely careful, looking forward to getting my second shot. Even after I really feel I’m masking up to go shop anywhere until this is under control if ever. Sorry for your loss.

Very sorry for the loss of your friend, Makai.

And for clarity, Gale's brother is not Baitman, two different people. Mike has been talking about Baitman for a long time.

Thoughts and prayers for your friend! Just got back from Fl. some places require masks and some don't. I don't know why this seems so hard for some people to figure out!
