We lost a rock at Lake Fork

Sunday we lost one of the good ones at Lake Fork. Bren Brandt lost his battle with cancer Sunday at his home in Popes Landing with a bunch of family and several of the guides by his side. Bren was a stick on all the lakes In East Texas and all the way until Sunday he made sure to tell me where I needed to fish and what to throw to catch em. It was not uncommon for there to be 5-10 guides on Brens porch most nights of the week talking about how their day went and how if Bren was able he would have smoked all of us on the water. Bren loved to fish twok, Palestine, cedar creek, and made his home on Fork several years back. Many of you may know his wife Robin who works at the Minnow Bucket. If you guys are over there stop by and tell her you are thinking of her. I just wanted to come on here and let the TFF family know because Bren touched a lot of people lives! Here's a pic of his last Largemouth he caught with me! Love ya buddy

Keep ripping Bren!

Prayers sent out to all his family and friends. Sorry for your loss.

He was a super nice guy and full of knowledge. Only got to know him the last couple of years, but was always as nice as he could be to me and always made me laugh. World is a little smaller without him. Condolences to Robin and Pete. Thanks Zach.

I had the privilege to meet him last year at the bass cat tournament. He invited me into his home for dinner. He was the nicest guy. Talked to me like he had known me for years. R.I.P. Bren.

Awesome words Zach ! Dad loved you and everybody he met at Fork . He will be missed . Love ya Pops .

I got to know Bren because he was our contact point at Wilson Auto here in Garland. Straight forward, honest as the day was long and always a smile on his face. It wasn't until I had known him for 2-3 years that I even knew he fished! After that, our conversations got longer and they rarely involved the car. Bren fought the good fight against this insidious disease for a long time. The last time I saw him was at Baylor Garland in the Oncology Lab. He was in there for treatment as was I. He didn't know I was sick and he was far more concerned with me that day than himself and that's all you need to know about the man. He was nothing but class and he will be missed. Prayers sent for the family. See you on the water someday my friend.

damnit... I had no idea. I've known Robin since I was a kid. Her sons David and Dustin are dear friends of mine, unfortunately I've not spoken with them in some time.

Last time I saw bren was at their crawfish boil a couple years back.

Bren was one of a kind. I had the pleasure to get to know Bren and he became a good friend and great neighbor. I have spent many nights on his porch talking about fishing, the old days, his family, his baseball career.... Nights I will never forget. You will be missed bubba. Till I see you you again.

Tight lines.
