Tight lines Buddy,

I was good last nite until I turned around in line and saw somebody walk in with a fishing pole. it was so hard, i lost it. But I was glad I was able to see Mike and say a prayer for him. May he rest in peace. I know he will be on everybody's mind for a long time.

Working to much, (away from "home") has me out of touch. I read through the many pages of this thread waiting, then hoping I would get to the post that would turn this into an LAB hoax. Shocked and saddened are understatements..... I met him face to face only once, when I was working 2nd skip with Jimmy Elliot on a Suzie Girl Tuna trip. He got off the Skipper and was unrecognizably walking toward me. Knowing his sense of humor from lurking on this site back then, and having a similar sense of humor, I waited until he was close and said... "Hey...aren't you Broken Bobber"? Needless to say he set me straight,... and we both had a great laugh. My thoughts and Prayers are with the Wells Family, to all on and off this site whose lives he touched, and to you Tom, You'll fish NOT without him.

me too steve,just can't believe it.

I didn't know the man personally, only knew of him and met him once on the 2012 PUOSU Ocean Explorer trip. Needless to say, I see why everyone who did know him have all said how much he'll be missed, he was a very enthusiastic guy who loved what he did. I'm very sorry to hear of the tragedy and will pray for his family to get through these tough times.
