Tragic loss for Team 57 and the fishing community

BillyB, I like Troutdog jumped on your case and for that I do apologize! I believe that you meant well and I guess I read into your comments too much. Thank you again for your donation. Not sure who Big Bob is but Dana Rea was the founder of Team57.

Apologies in return, thanks. It may just be my memory ... but I was thinking about a guy I fished with and had some kindred connection. I think he runs the Team 57 floating café I've seen in pictures from Irvine. Spent some time with Dana and his wife. Does anybody run into her these days. Wonderin how she's doin. NICE lady!!

The "Team 57" floating café specialist would be Mark aka Big Daddy, hoping to see him back on the water by this summer. The nice lady would be Donna, she is very well and from what I understand relocating up to the Bay area....I will give them both your regards!

My apologies in advance for pulling up an old thread, especially one of this nature but I felt it was necessary.

First I wanted to thank everyone who shared their condolences, in addition to the ones who generously contributed to the "TK Memorial Fund"....between your kindness and shirt sales generated by Team 57 members we were able to raise just shy of $1700 for the family with contributions continuing to come in. Again I thank you.

Personally this week was tough for me. As many of you guys knowthe NFL season is right around the corner and with that, for many comes fantasy football. Tramel...."TK" was one of the original members of the FNN fantasy football we started a number of years back here on the forum. The name of this year's league is in his memory and replacing his team this week was a reminder of just how precious life is.

Lastly I thought it was best to share this video considering it is public knowledge at this point, so you guys know as much as we do....more importantly I pray this video somehow, someday, leads to the arrest of the people that took our friend's life.
