Well another loss for the fishing family RIP

WOW, dont know what to say. Jimmy was a friend who I will truly miss. I got the news today by phone, and Im still in shock. I have stories I could share of fun times weve had, but the thing I will always remember is the way he played with my kids. A great guy, awesome fisherman, great artist, and an even better friend. I miss you already bro!!!

From the "shootin' Stool" of Teal Jimmy made me while he was still in high school to the pranks he pulled on my daughters while he painted my 23' Parker he was a good man and I still feel him throwing me overboard in the "PoorMans" when I caught my first white Marlin. To his family the world has lost a good man and I am proud to have called him my friend.

in heading to the bahamas today it makes me sad to think my next trip home will be once again to remember a good friend who has passed. i have too many stories to start but thats a good thing. i truly have to believe the reason god keeps plucking away our friends is so he can laugh with them as hard as i have. to the jackson family i send my family's love and best wishes. he did leave me with one last great photo last week and if maybe franky or jonnie can figure out how to get it off there phones it would make for a great post. jackson we are gonna miss you!!!
