Hey Matt, I'm really sorry to hear this. Al and I go back probably forty years. I saw him fishing with LEP one day, and he was on a boat with crispies. I knew he was struggling. But he was out there just the same, and let me tell you, that's not easy.

Rest in peace, Al. Say hello to Don for me on your next drift for Striped Bass!

Learned how to throw a castnet with one of his videos. He seemed like a regular guy. Condolences to those who knew him.

Hey George, it appears we are at the age when this type of news occurs more regularly. A lot of legends have moved on. May Al and all the others Rest in Peace, and much thanks to all that came before us and pioneered, and taught us much about this crazy obsession we have, fishing.
