He gave me an autographed copy of his book. He had an incredible amount of information to share and gave it freely.

I friended Jon on Facebook and joined his online fishing group, but I never went fishing with him. I guess I was intimidated by the prospect of fishing with such an expert.
Rest in Peace Jon. I hope there's big fish in heaven.


Here is the book he wrote:

I never met Jon, but when I was looking around last winter to get into kayak fishing and purchase my first kayak I picked up a copy of that book which they were selling at the fishing-kayak expo up in Northern NJ. They had them next to the register and I didn't know of Jon, but I picked it up on a whim and ended up studying it from cover to cover before I made my first modification.

Very sad to hear of his passing, his book and insights were a tremendous help to me starting out.
