WOW... bitter-sweet read... my sincere condolences as well... I must provide a testimony to these guys. Last year on March 18th I lost my brother at nearly the same age. And I found that fishing the lake was a great comfort. It was a great year for walleye and EVERY single time they provided great advice/tips/assistance, etc.... you are in good hands with these guys... I just want to say thanks again to them for helping me last year... I was a rookie last year too, but these guys just jumped right in and helped out without hesitation... CHEERS TO YOU !!!
