Paddle Out for Rod Bennett - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Expressed apologies to Val for being unable to join my kayak fishing buddies in the fitting salute to Rod - one of our sport's most positive spirits. Glad this is happening, sad not to be with you all for it.

Fished for close to 15 years with Rod - could tell his silhouette in the yellow-scupper pro from quite the distance - always paddling his direction to get caught up on stuff (In addition to kayak fishing, we shared many interests). I miss Rod, and I'll miss being with some of the old-guard as they salute one of our own.

Rod was a good person on and off the water. Send him off well gents.
