I wish you the best. We never met but I bought your dock shooting video years and years and years ago. Praying for you and your wife. I hope you find something you enjoy to fill the void! Good luck sir and God bless!

I can only echo what the others have said. Though I never fished with you personally, your educational efforts and posts in this forum were instrumental in my success when I first got started. Thank you sir for your efforts. You leave an important legacy in the sport as you step away.

It happens to all of us eventually. At 77 I can’t do nearly the things I used to do. As someone else said, you have lots of memories. Prayers for you and your wife.

Good luck Ernest. I so enjoyed our fishing trips together. You're one of the best. Hope you and your wife find good times together. I am quitting also. Essential tremor won't allow me to keep my jig still any longer.
From early days bass fishing transitioning to crappie fishing has been a wonderful experience for me and for you I am sure.

Sorry to hear this Ernest.
From going to your very first crappie seminar to fishing with you at "The Office", I can't thank you enough for all the great information and stories that you shared.
You have greatly impacted so many of us.
Thanks again for everything and prayers for you and Faith.

Same goes for me. Thanks for all your great information over the years. I too bought your dvd years ago, and always paid attention to what you posted. I too am getting up there I am now 77 so I know my fishing time is limited too. Thanks again

Ernest if you ever want to wet a jig just let me know, I got an empty seat for you. I’ll even come pick you up. I’m glad I got to fish with you once at least.
