Just saw this this morning, truly terrible, shocking news -I'm stunned
I didn't know Steve well but had the opportunity to hear him speak at an MSBA meeting - the depth of his knowledge and personal experience was impressive as was his generosity in sharing it during his speaking engagements, his OTW articles and here at S-B
A real loss to the fishing community - my deepest condolences to his family and friends
Rest easy, Steve

I met Flap for the first time at plugfest a few years back,I was set up next to his table,my neck was killing me at the end of the day looking up at him as we talked.. I hardly knew him, but I'm going to miss him...

This is horrible news!!!!!! Steve was an inspiration and a teacher to more than just his friends and family. His articles that he wrote over the years taught me many things even though I didn't know him personally. He was certainly part of our extended family here and will be missed greatly.
Good buy Steve. RIP. |

Very Sad news....His family is in My family's thoughts and prayers.
Being new to surfcasting I always loved when he posted stories of the "Glory Days" of surcasting.

So stunned to hear this. Thoughts and prayers for his family. I just talked to him this week and he was going to stop by the shop on Thursday nite to drop off a plug to me but it he never showed. So sorry to his closest friends. Rest in Peace.
