-Cantar, Leopoldo-

I recently videoed this kayak fishing adventure just the other day shortly after visiting Leo’s wife, Georgette, last week, & thought I'd share it for Red Sled Team, Roman, Jerry, Kev, Rick, Christan, Georgette & crew to see & hear the fun.. ZZzzZZzzzZZzz..
Words cannot even come close to expressing how deeply honored I am, to be presented a couple mementos’ from Leo’s tackle box, aka, “Tools Of The Trade”.
I will cherish these gifts and the memories they have, & will still create, all in Leo’s name.
After a decent fight & Leo’s Yellow now at color, I can see she brought up a little salad to interfere, & thankfully the second death-pass unfolded a solid shot to the inside neck preserving every steak & collar.
Heres the video below, watch in HD. I will up some stills also in a few..
Hopefully we can get Georgette to sign back in with Leos account & say hello keeping his memory alive & well! :Angel_anim:
If you don't mind, from time to time I might be dropping some adventures with Leo's gear in action.. I might even take his lures into to the Keys & beyond 'Reel' soon too..:reel:
(The photo at the end of the video was from our dinner celebration a few weeks ago to celebrate Leo’s life with some of his dear friends.)

(Coincidentally in the video below, Leo’s bucket hat was already on the table for the commemoration session. I guess that's better than a pair of speedos?! :D )

(Those who knew Leo, know he loved this productive stick bait. So cool to have this in my arsenal!:cool:)

After Mr. Mackerel got hit at thirty mph, & seen here peering out from underneath the Mirage Drive for cover, he has that look just like the guy in Super Troopers "I'm Freaking Out Man!?" :eek:

(Its always a little comical releasing both the bait & the Yellowtail that attacked him so viciously just a minute ago.. Sometimes they get hit so hard, they go up the line unscathed..)

Cull through the rats, you can always find a good one in the mix! :yt:

VERY COOL WADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Wade. NICE CPR!!!!

Really good post. U make it look easy !

Thanks Wade. That is one of the best video I have seen. What a way to honor the gift your friend gave to you. By catching some beautiful yellow tails with it. Nicely done!

Great post and super nice.

As usual Wade, great job on the video and a fitting tribute to your fine friend.

Let us all hope that our fallen friends can share their memories forever with the touching of one's spirit, as this man has done to you. A very special gift, the gift of stories told, and passed on to others though you.

Beautiful, thank you Wade

WOWWWW. What a great video Wade. Thank you for sharing this :cheers1:

Great video Capt Wade:you_rock:

I can only hope after I am gone that I receive the same degree of reverence Leo's departure has shown here! :luxhello: the measure of a good man and a full life!

Haha that picture of the bait hiding under you kayak is sick!! Too cool

:kayak-surfer:Fish Onnnnnnnn. Epic farewell.:wsb::yt::cheers1:

great video. thanks :you_rock:

sweet pictures wade!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that. :cheers1:

Truly you are an amazing friend, beautiful video. Leo and I hope you will enjoy many years of good fishing with his reel, that's what he would have wanted rather than keeping dust in a corner. I'm sure he is happy and smiling down on us!

:jig:

Georgette-

That was a great tribute to Leo, Wade. I see the jigs have a good Mojo! As always Wade, awesome video.

What a wonderful tribute!
Wade, those are some of the coolest under water shots I've seen! Hobie should put those in a magazine :cheers1:

Way to go Wade!
:notworthy:

Very nice Wade -- a beautiful tribute to Leo!

Damn I didn't even know Leo passed away until I saw this. He was a cool guy, one of the first people I met when I got into this sport. Friendly, always willing to help out, and will always be remembered for that speedo!

R.I.P. Leo, I hope you are pulling on lots of :wsb: in heaven Bud.
