To The Old Timers

[J.Mitchell WV]

It's been a long, long time since my last post...But I thought I'd take a minute to pass along some news regarding an old friend, and long time Fishing Planet buddy of mine and others Del_Udy. Some of you Old Timers probably remember Del. He was a member of the Aquaholics Club, and a friend to many of us. Del had informed us earlier this summer that he had been diagnosed with cancer, and was seeking treatment. We sent out our prayers for a speedy recovery and wished him the best. After a few weeks, we hadn't heard from Del, so I decided to do a little research. After conducting a Google search I came across his obituary. He had passed away on July 12th... God speed Del, and Tight Lines brother.

Sad to hear of his passing,  Gone Fishing.

When the trophy blackfish was the rarest fish in the game, Del is the only one I know to have caught it on purpose, meaning he caught it on the suggested insect baits, and he did it on two different platforms. Del was a true student of this game, a very meticulous fisherman, and a great friend to those of us lucky enough to have known him.

I will miss our conversations and hope to meet up with you one day at that big lake in the sky, I'm sure you'll already have all the best spots sorted out. Rest in peace my brother.
