A Legend Passes

[Fish On]

I heard that Curt Gowdy passed away this morning at the age of 86 at his home in Florida after a long battle with leukemia. My thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans.

I can remember lake fishing with my uncle back in my early days. We'd come around the edge of a cove, the sun would be setting over the horizon, the water.....a mirror, the only ripples created by our casts to a weedline and my uncle would say, "looks like a place you'd expect to find Curt Gowdy". I know a lot of people will remember him for his Red Sox announcements. But I'll think of him each time I'm lucky enough to find myself in paradise.

Tight lines Curt!
