Where ya heading? Best of luck, looks like a pretty day
Think I'm going to Garrett today.
Good luck!
Yeah i avoid holiday weekends at all cost.
Not everyone has that luxury though. We just go when we can and make the best of it. Crowded or not. I can't stand sitting at the house when I'm off work.
Ended up with 27 crappie in the box.
Caught 14 bream but only 4 keepers.
Good day.

His last..
I will miss his posts in the fishing forum.
I drove by the lake on the way to a family lunch Sat. Just wanted to see if he was out there and how the crowd was. Saw him motoring towards the deeper end after he had caught them at one spot I am sure.
Man , just wish I had one more trip with him.

I suppose we never know when the next fishing trip will be our last. Glad Ruger had a good one for his last time out. RIP Daniel.

What happened? I saw where someone said he passed away but nothing on how?

Tight lines my friend.
I believe I read that it was complications from a heart attack.
Glad he had one more day on the water to enjoy what he loved. Crazy to think he was here and a short 12 hours or so later he's gone. RIP Daniel!
I'm finding it hard to type through tears. Today has seemed like sleep walking through the ultimate bad dream.
A couple of weeks ago a customer came in the fly shop looking for the materials to tie up a special crappie fly. He showed me some huge crappie he had been catching on those flies, so I got some materials as well. I tied up several for Daniel. It went through the normal Memphrica delay, but he called me one day last week to thank me after they finally came in. He promised to give one a try when he got a chance to go.
I really hope at least one of those swimming in this special picture came from one of those flies. And, I hope he got to eat it on Saturday night. Our friend sure did love to eat the fish he caught! Missing him doesn't even start to address how much he meant to me.
TTT
RIP

I cannot imagine that Daniel didn't catch most of them on your flies.
Cannot imagine he didn't eat fresh fried fish then Saturday night.
He was a master fish cooker.
Need to look up some of his batter recipes.
And wish you and I could have gotten over to Gooches before duck season ended.
I'd say Daniel would have cooked us up a fine breakfast in the duck blind.
A true outdoor chef he was.
Man people just don't understand how true that is. Well…..some do obviously.
That man could cook anything and it was a treat . Speaking of gooch and cooking. Here is a picture of some Filet Mignon's he cooked in the blind a few years back at Gooch

When I duck hunted Reelfoot with y'all in January 2022 unfortunately I didn't take a group pic but did have this sauce pic with him in the background in a shirt with sleeves.
Seems like he had cooked steaks then too. 
You can bet your rear end that he cooked some steaks!When I duck hunted Reelfoot with y'all in January 2022 unfortunately I didn't take a group pic but did have this sauce pic with him in the background in a shirt with sleeves.
