My condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends. This sad story and the one in regards to the Montville NJ man who drowned in NY State while wading, should keep us both humble and attentive when we are in pursuit of our passion-fishing.

Rivers, Streams, Lakes, and Oceans are much more powerful than all of us. We probably all have stories of near misses that we were fortunate to have made it through.

Once again, the family and friends of these individuals will be in my prayers.
