Default Dream Big - a Sad Day

Today is a very sad day for me and the jigging and popping community.

Today we lost one of our brothers.
As some of you may know my good friend John Flores has been fighting cancer or some time.
Years ago before I met John he fought and was winning the fight. Well in the last few weeks this changed. His cancer mutated and came back hard and he switched med's and was gaining line back. During his fight an infection came on in his lungs and this was too much for his body to take.

This morning John passed. He was a good friend and a great fisherman. His website and his motto was dream big - I think he lived big and helped popularize the jigging an popping sport that we all know and love here in the US....

John you will be missed my friend....

I am not good with these kind of things.
Please use this thread to share your memories of John if you don't mind. And please give your hopes and prayers to his family during these tough times.

God speed John Flores I love you and will miss you and will continue to dream big.

Shocking news and a tragic loss for someone in the prime of their life. I always enjoyed John's posts and while I never had the pleasure of meeting John he obviously lived life to the fullest and followed his passion. That's the most any of us can hope for.

His posts and his presence will be dearly missed on this board and elsewhere. My deepest sympathies to John's family. He will definitely be in our prayers.

Dakota
