Tragic loss for Team 57 and the fishing community

[troutdog]

I type with a heavy heart this evening, unable to sleep, still numb and in disbelief over the recent news that "Trout Nine" aka "TK" lost his life in a senseless act of violence this weekend....I realize most people who know him have already learned of this through social media, but I felt his FNN friends should know as well.

A Memorial has already been set up in his name at Sarl, a book to sign in his memory, as well as a fundraiser and BBQ this coming Saturday. From what I understand Irvine will be following suit for the Sport Chalet tournament in his name. TK left behind a young family, it breaks my heart thinking of his children. If you can pay your respects to a fellow fisherman that had a heart of gold, I would encourage you to do so whether you knew him personally or not. He was a good soul.

In an effort to help the family we created a "GoFundMe" memorial fund....thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers.

Wow just to think that we fished at the same lake is just sad! He actually helped me out with a couple of tips here and there
RIP Trout Nine

This hurts my heart. I live in San Diego, but travel up north occasionally to fish the tourneys up at Irvine, SARL, and Corona. Regardless of which tourney I fished, I always ran into him and it felt like we didn't miss a beat. Still in disbelief. My condolences to the family. RIP TK...
