Sirine, I feel your pain! Thomas was not only a gentleman, but one hell of a great friend and fisherman. He is missed deeply! I have been on several adventures with him, as he was my tuna coach, and got me addicted to this fishery. We have been 150 miles out of Bamfield, 100 miles off west port Washington together, rivers inlet, and WH several times. We now carry his passion with us!
we are registered in “ Bounty into the Blue” in WH sept 2nd through 6th, our team name is SMILIES PURSUIT, he was registered as well, however we have to try and do our best to fill those big shoes! There will be an off shore mamorial held on the tuna grounds with the tuna fleet for Thomas, if you or anyone else would like to join us in a final salute to such a genuine man.
