Sad news about Marilyn Reingold, aka, "MsGulp"

[Cuz]

It saddens me to hear Marilyn has passed away. First time I met her she fluke fished next to me on a party boat and slammed them. One of the most serious fisherperson I have ever met.
She came aboard with three custom rods and high price reels worth hundreds each. I inquired about her equipment, being she was a lady. Most rent their rods. She chuckled and told me they were a small part of what she owned. During the trip she talked about being brought up by fishermen her whole life. Her dad being part owner of the Miss Belmar with Captain Al Shinn. How attached she was to the Shinn family for many years.
Over the years I have owned my own boat. I saw her on many Atlantic Highlands party boats fluke fishing. Especially on the Angler. Always up in the bow. Plugging away like a true professional. I always pulled along side and gave a hello hollar. She would wave. And I would ask, "Learn how to fish yet? Her response was always, "I'll kick your ass." Sometimes the truth hurts. LOL
To all Marilyn's relatives, friends, fellow fishermen, boat captains, the Shinn family, N.J. Fisherman.com members: We lost a true icon. In her memory take a child fishing. Even little girls can grow up and become a fishing legend.

It wasn't difficult to find a pool fish picture of Marilyn- there are many...
Hope she saves some doormats up there for us!
Rest Easy Marilyn

RIP Marilyn...

The first time I met her, she asked me a few questions about my family... didn't seem like much at the time... Every time after, she asked how they were doing... each and every one of them. She took it all in. She genuinely cared. Only asked for help tying a few rigs and removing a few fish in return.. didn't want her nails to get messed up.

You made an impact girl. Thanks.

So saddened by this news... She was one of a kind, full of life, always up for anything and always gave more than she got. Rest in peace "Honey"

I sure am going to miss all those "very important" calls.... "Hi honey, this is Mars call me as soon as you get this".......

I'd call her back thinking the sky had fallen and she'd say "How's your family Honey, how are you, what's going on ?" The occational care and feeding calls you'd get from some you know cared about you.

Got to admit I owe more than a few people those calls... I also have more than a few people in my cell phone contact list that have passed that I wished I made more of those calls to.... Just can't seem to bring myself to deleted them from my phone either.... Seeing them there is a constant reminder of them, their love and how short life is....

Sleep well girlfriend and rest up from your long journey. May you now be resting in Gods loving arms free of cancer, at the rail, catching fish and driving everyone crazy.

I will miss you terribly... Our loss but Gods gain.

Very sorry to hear this. She was a good soul and could hold her own with the best at the rail. Rest in peace Marilyn.

You left a positive impact in your life. Best anyone can ask for.

Very sad news.
I met Marilyn on a Montauk run with Shrimpman a couple yrs ago.
She brought enough food to feed an army and was so generous.
Was ready at the rail to catch some cod with her electric reel in hand.
She truly was an one of a kind.
RIP Ms Gulp.
We all know she loved her fluking.

So sad. Marilyn was a wonderful caring person who will be missed. I will never forget when she found out I was going cod fishing in Montauk one weekend, she called me and asked if she could join us. We had a great ride out, great fishing, and a great ride back. I will miss this great person. She will not be forgotten.

PS. What are the chances god finds her to high maintenance and sends her back to us. She will be missed

My sincerest condolences to her family and friends. Never met her but she sounds like an amazing person and an awesome fisherman, Godspeed Marilyn
