RIP The Legend That is Mako Bob

RIP to the nicest, most generous, gracious, loving, giving fisherman I have ever come in contact with.

From my first trip to Baja in 2014, to Bob giving me 5 free rods when mine got stolen, to seeing him pull up and give me the fish dope in Baja last April I feel so blessed to have know such an amazing person.

RIP Bob. You are a legend.

Rest In Peace

Never met MakoBob but sorry for the communities loss. Sounds like he was a great guy. Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew and cared for him.

Has anybody contacted his wife?

Any news on how she is doing?

Is she going to sell the property and his possessions in Baja?
I don’t think she was working. Perhaps Bob had pension from Navy.

Situation like this always causes big hardship on the family.
If I remember he had a brother, but not sure about kids.

Damn just reading this now... Rest In Peace Mako BOB.

Bob was the man, he embodied the baja spirit, a true legend.

I propose not just a paddle out, but we need to bring back the la jolla or MB tournament for Bob's memorial. Maybe we can raise money for his wife, or a charity of her choice if she would like to remain private in her grieving. Bob was a huge supporter of HOW.

I could ask Paul if we could get another signed print for a raffle or auction. I believe Bob won the auction for the halibut print with his generous donation to HOW a few years back. He will be missed.

3 years ago in April 2017, what a fun day.

I am so sorry to see this news!
I was fortunate to spend some time state side with Bob, but could never sync up and get down south.

Lovely guy and such an inspiration of hope and positivity! We had exchanged stories and words, as my dad suffered badly from diabetes and had amputation.


Would love to support with a benefit or paddle out to celebrate his life!

Life is sweet. Bob knew how to live his to the fullest. He was a very special, kind and compassionate human being. With deepest respect and appreciation for who he was, I wish the best for everyone who knew and loved him. I wish Bob happy travels, peace and glory for wherever our spirits go from here.

To Mako Bob!
