Default Sad News, Loss of another Captain

Sorry to report that our Fishing Community has suffered another loss. Just got a call that Capt Jim McFarland passed away last night at home from an apparent Heart Attack. I fished with Jim for over 25 years on the Big Mac. Fair Seas and God's Speed Capt.

That is awful news. I fished with him this May for the first time and had a great trip with cod and haddock. My condolences to his family and friends. Very sad to hear this

Bob, sorry about having to be the bearer of this sad news this AM and was hoping you would post here as I have not been on in quote a while. I got the call last night from my son who is very good friends with Jim Jr and went to his house today. It was not the same without Captain Jim in his chair. We spoke weekly and he will be missed. Always a good guy who helped me out on those tough days. Out boats were on the same dock and our sons were college room mates. I will miss him dearly and will always be grateful to my friend Jim. Thanks for posting on here because I have not been to this site in a year now.

We will miss his colorful posts and pictures of Stellwagen Bank cod, pollock and haddock.

Dave

Chartered his boat once in the late spring. RIP Capt. Jim, may you have fair winds and calm seas.

Very saddened to see this post. Fished with Capt. Jim on the Big Mac and as good of a charter boat Captain as he was he was a better man. One of the nicest guys anyone will ever meet. Loved his posts, couldn't ask for a more sincere and polite guy, he'll be surely missed by many. My heartfelt condolences to Jim's family and friends.....may he rest in eternal peace.

Dakota
