Chris, do you know the date of the Hawaiian shirt, photo? The last time I saw Dean in person was on the east side of the lake and he was wearing that same shirt and hat. Summer, two years ago, I believe. That had to be it Chris. The date of that photo I took was April 27, 2016. It was me and a buddy in the boat with him that day. And that pic was on the East side of the lake.

Used to watch him and Jerry Dean catch big ol bigguns on Honey Hole.
Guess they can catch some of the monster fish in the great beyond now. RIP guys.

If anyone knows of a link to any video of Dean and Jerry fishing together,or for that matter, any of Dean fishing, please post. I did a little searching and was unable to find anything. That man caught his fair share of donkeys from Lake Fork over the years.

The last time I ever fished with my grandpa was in the boat with Dean. It was a three generation trip, me, my dad, and grandpa not to mention our first time out any of us with a guide. We caught several very nice fish, it was spring of 95 or 96 I believe. It was just a special day that I will always remember, my grandpa is the one that taught me a love of fishing at a very young age! We fished Carolina rigs all day with 6 foot leaders and watermelon zoom centipedes. My grandpa was a trout fisherman from Oregon, no bait caster experience. Dean set him up with a spinning rod with braid on it and was so patient with all of us all day long. Anyway, I remember it fondly just like it was yesterday! Thank you Dean RIP sir and prayers for your grieving family!
See you on the lake and have a great day!

Dean was the best guide on Lake Fork. Dean had so many great stories. Dean was our teacher when we first moved here in 02. Dean was so supportive of his family and friends.
God bless Dean and prayers to his family from Cheryl and I.
