:( I’d been wondering if he was fully recovered/recovering.

They didn’t provide too much info on the the other websites except he took a turn for the worse. Anything else happens, I’ll put it up.

I wish that I had spent more time with Aaron when we were fishing against each other in local tournaments. He is good dude.

Definitely a unique pro. He had the tackle enthusiast spirit in every way. He influenced so many anglers on here. Idk of anyone else who tricks out their reels on tour :lol: .

His analytical approach not only the fishing side but the tackle side really inspired me to think the way I do. When I saw him fishing, you can tell he is on his own level. The way he also talked tackle or techniques was always a lesson. Almost like Bob Ross, he was always so chill and seemed like you were sitting there with him and he was teaching you a little something during a quick break from fishing.

That sucks. Didn't know him; just a fan from MLF, TV etc.

Didn't know he was sick; but I knew I wasn't seeing him for awhile.

Very sad. Life is so short........

RIP.

Bad deal all the way around. I hate it for his family. He was a good dude. He always talked on TV like he was talking to a friend and he always was a friendly guy. The sport of bass fishing, and the world in general, are a little dimmer now.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
