Tight Lines Cook! Thanks for the hot tips and laughs. I'll be expecting some help from you next time I get a lure stuck in the mangroves.
I think I can dance.

Re: We have lost an old friend
My condolences to all of you on the loss of your friend, may he rest in peace. I've never met him, but judging from the posts, I'm going say that those of us that didn't know him have missed out on knowing someone special.

I was lucky enough to have met him and talked to him at a few PFTS and H.O.W. events. What a great guy and I know many will miss him.
RIP Mark.
RIP Mark.

Re: We have lost an old friend
So sad to open the site and see news like this about a member. As a "new guy", Mark made me feel welcome when I met him at the tourneys. Reading things like this makes me realize how valuable my time on the water is to me.
RIP Mark "cooknfish" Bellotte.

Re: We have lost an old friend
If this quote were true ... "The gods do not subtract from the allotted span of men's lives the hours spent on fishing." ... then CookNFish should've live to be at least 150 years old.
So, with that said, hang on tight to those that you love and tell them just that ... DAILY!!
A sad day not only for the fishing world but the rest of the world as well.
Rest In Peace ... Mark ... Rest In Peace!!

Re: We have lost an old friend
Very Sad to hear. I loved his reports in the local Angler Magazines related to Kayak Fishing.

Re: We have lost an old friend
Thanks for all of your kind words and pictures of my brother. It definately brings tears to my eyes. He will be missed in the deepest sense of the word for our family as well.
