Mark is in a heavy weight bout with Covid. For those of us that know his sense of humor he would be quick to comment on here "hey! - this heavy weight needs to eat" or something along those lines.
As of today I have heard of no timetable on his stay in the Tyler hospital. All I can say is he is a strong fighter and fighting well against an ugly opponent.
TFF - please keep the prayers going for the Pac Man, the medical staff taking care of him and that he maintains proper O2 levels to get his rear end back home soon.

Fishing with Mark over three decades he is a legend in my household. Over the years he converted me to become proficient with the carolina rig throwing the french fry which in those days were the early 90’s and it was incredible, to throwing broom handles called “AC Plugs” watching them get tossed in the air with massive hits, to jigging spoons in the winter and finally throwing jigs in summer. Over this timeframe he made a Zircom flasher, Lowrance Eagle Mach 1 paper graph and every form of electronic seem like the holy grail.
He even proved that WD40 sprayed on a plastic worm was an effective attractant.
From the boats he drove such as Bass Csts, Rangers to Skeeter over the years he always made it appear they were the best boat ever for fishing offshore.
Get well Mark, you are in the thoughts and prayers of many folks you have touched over the years.

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. Great tribute!

Mark is still fighting that strain of Covid that is one bad hombre.
He made some small steps forward the last two days with some much needed rest and a little nutrition. I'm sure he would rather have had a plate full from Seth's instead though.
He still has a longer that desired road to recovery ahead of him......
Keep the prayers going his way that his O2 levels stay stable and continues to improve as well as that his lungs respond to therapy and treatment.
