Fervently praying for you, Mark! I know what you're going through as I spent a few nights in the hospital with Covid. The doctors have it down pretty good now and are much better equipped to treat this disease. You'll be back at it shortly!

Quick Pack story from about 25 years ago as told by my buddy:

“We were fishing fork in December and it was snowing. We went to LFM and Tiffany’s for lunch. We walk in and there’s a table full of guides sitting there, only other people in the restaurant. All we’re thinking about is getting warm and about that time, Pack (who they recognized) asks them who they’re fishing with? My buddy replies, “just us”. In that typical Mark Pack voice, they hear, “Oh, y’all just out messing around”, which my buddy took as you guys must be the 2 dumbest people on the planet!

We laugh to this day when we’re at LFM and watch Pack walk outside or go to the bathroom right before that check hits the table! We always make the same comment, “Pack ain’t messing around with that check!”

Quit messing around Mark, and get better!

Since we are telling Pack stories I will share one. Years ago Mark had slowed way down on guiding and was mostly running the LFT store and bait production. I had met him when stopping off at tge store and we became friends. We would fun fish and such when our schedules lined up. He was still fishing FLW then as well.
In November 2008 I broke my back at work during a housefire. The days after were crazy as I wa concerned would I recover, would I get to continue my career etc. A couple of days after coming home from hospital Pack calls me to check on me. He made sure to check to see if we were OK financially and he told me to focus on getting better and if I was unable to get back to working as FF that I always had a job at LFT if I needed it.
That meant the world to me and my family. That is just who Pack is though. He is always quick to help someone with a fishing tip or just some words of encouragement. More than one guide got the business started wirh help from Mark. Several have stayed at his place till they got on their feet.


I am glad our paths crossed and I have learned so much from Mark about Fork and fishing in general. The real treasure though are the Packisms that he throws out. Some great one liners. Proud to count Mark as a friend.
