Isn't that the truth.... He didn't care if what he said made you at odds with him, his itentions were always genuine. He simply wanted the best for everyone, to right wrongs and he called them like he saw them.

Being together for almost 15 years working on this site, it was inevitable that Mike and I had a few brushes between us. Occationally a few poeple questioned my allegiance towards him. It was never a question in my mind because deep down I knew his heart was in the right place.

First for the Wells Family. I am truly sorry for your loss. May the Four Winds deliver Mr. Wells safely home.

For Tom. Mike had passion for fishing. For people like us, its not a sport. Its part of our lives. If you are lucky enough to have your father being part of it and teaching you. Or sharing the times on the water with a good friend. That is so special. The two of you had fun just sharing the times on the water together. You will have those memories for the rest of your life. Hold those memories close to your heart and fish on. Mike would want you to.

To Gerry. Mike was your right hand man on this site. He had passion for this site. I am sorry for your loss as well.

May God Bless you all.

So many memories, and quite the photogenic one. Just passing along something to make you laugh as that's the way LAB would want it

I still can't believe this. Hadn't seen Mike in years but had a lot of great times with him. There were a lot of laughs, a lot of fish and a lot of fun. He was one of those irreplaceable guys, the kind that few are chosen to walk among us, the kind whose absence from near or far is forever empty. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and everyone who will hold a place in their hearts for him.

RIP LAB. My condolences to his family, friends and the fishing community.

I never met the man in person but I did communicate with him online and he was a stand-up guy.

Mike signed onto NJF about the same time as me several years ago. My deepest condolences to the Wells family and Tom as well....RIP Mike.

Wow, I'm shocked . I got to know Mike a little bit fishing on the Monger.

Saw him 2 weeks ago in Point Pleasant. Mike was always good for a laugh....used to run into him at the doggie beach as well. God rest his soul.

What's the fluke regs liked in heaven?

I still can not believe it. I guess God has his plan.

Bless the family and the dogs.
