Although I never had the privilege to meet him in person, Thad was prominent figure on TFF and seem like a genuine down-to-Earth kind of guy. I always appreciated his posts and comments sharing his vast knowledge of bass fishing. My condolences to his friends and family. As he would always say, "Tight lines, stay safe and good luck"...

Whatever man, I'm not crying. You're crying. What a wonderful guy
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip!

He was a good guy and a friend. His sister is a jewel too. I just bought a new to me 2011 Phoenix 719 pro x that I am in the process of making like new in my shop. I hadn’t told Thad about it on purpose. We fish together and I wanted to show up pulling it when I picked him up the next time. It would have been more comfortable for these two old bass fisherman. We hadn’t had anything to fish in for a while because I did away with my old 1994 boat. I didn’t get it finished in time and that is sad. Wish I had told him. RIP Thad you will be missed.
TAKE A PHOTO HOME NOT THE FISH. CATCH AND RELEASE
Set the hook first and ask questions later.

Sorry to hear that. I only knew him on the forum. Seemed like a knowledgeable guy who liked to share his wealth of information with anyone who needed help. RIP +1 Pretty much sums it up he was always sharing information...what a loss for everyone

This is sad news. I remember reading something he wrote within the last couple of days. He seemed like a great guy. His family will be in my prayers.
