Update
It's weird how things come full circle.
I went out to help with searching for the body this morning and with the help of 2 other fishermen from Ohio, we found his remains. He was at the first spot that he and I went bass fishing together.
The good news is that the family now has closure. Before I got in the boat, his wife told me that's all she wanted.
Deep down I knew that I'd be the one who would find him. Even with that mental preparation, it's tough to see your fishing buddy that way.
I say all that to say this.....be careful out there guys. And if you have an old fishing buddy that you haven't talked to in a while, call them and say hi.
