Folks,

We lost a GREAT one last night. After a long , long battle with kidney cancer and other stuff, Dave Stewart fought his final battle.

We had been friends for nearly 20 years, from the first time I met him in Indianapolis at the boat show, to taking his classes, and hiring him as a guide, and then just simply driving down there and fun fishing with him.

I have learned so much from him in so many respects. I will tell you this, he KNEW his fishin .

He will be sadly missed by all his friends and family.

Yes, friends, it is a sad day
