Captain Chris Hueth's Passing

[captainrich]

I read Gerry’s post and the comments about Capt. Chris Hueth passing yesterday and yes, the fishing community lost a great captain and advocate.

But Capt. Chris was more than that – I have known him since he was in grammar school. First, he was fishing on the Lenny with his twin brother Greg and then he was “working the deck” and then he became a captain which he was really proud of, and then he had his own boat the “Big Mohawk” and countless people enjoyed fishing with him.

Yes, he was truly a GREAT fisherman, but he was much more than that. He was a great person & friend who would do anything for you, he was a great husband & father, always making sure that his family was taken care of. I know that his wife Kathy and his kids and his brothers & sisters feel a tremendous loss today. I wish there were something I could say or do to make your grief go away, but I know that is not possible.

I will say that I am a better person for knowing him and having him as a friend. I have lost a friend as has the entire fishing community. To his wife Kathy and his family, you are in my and Marie’s prayers.

GOD BLESS CAPT. CHRIS HUETH and Rest In Peace!

Amen to that. I have only fished on the Big Mohawk this year from a couple trips this past fluke season and I did 3 blackfishing trips on his boat already most resent was this past Sunday. As captain Chris being a cowboys fan and myself being a giants fan I was looking forward to another trip I booked for this Sunday. When the trip this past Sunday was over I shook his hand and said ill see you next Sunday capt for another round of ball busting he said looking forward to it "Montauk Boy" and I left. Hearing this news yesterday has my head spinning. Life is very short you never know when your day is. Be happy be merry and always kiss you loved ones and say I love you cause you never know. May God rest Captain Chris soul
