What a devastating loss for the fishing community and for everyone who knew Capt. Jason Stock and Eric Whitted. Both clearly made an incredible impact, not just with their talents on the water, but with their warmth and generosity as people. Losing figures like them leaves such a void, and it’s hard to imagine how much this will affect those who were close to them.

I hope the community can come together to honor their legacies, whether through shared memories, continuing their passion for fishing, or supporting the families left behind. It’s moments like this that remind us how much we rely on the people around us and how deeply they can touch our lives.

Sending my condolences to their families, friends, and the entire fishing community. May they rest in peace. 🕊
