Ah man this sucks. Bob was so cool and generous. Taught be so much about BAJA and fishing. The knowledge he had blew me away, always had an answer to everything. Always a great outlook on life despite his conditions. You will be missed brother!

Bob knew how to give...and give and give and give...

What a Huge Heart...

He'll be sorely missed by the kayaking community...

Calm Winds now Bob...!

This was a shocker.

I saw the video on facebook, and thought it was just thanking him, until I saw a word. RIP

Anybody knows the details? As far as I know he was going to get on the Second Wind.

As the Turks would say.."May he rest in light".

His saying of "don't wait 20 years and 20 years later say--I wish I had done such and such. If you want it that bad, find a way to do it."

Be cause of that saying I made my trip to fly fish in Canada. A 50 some year dream came true.

Lost a bright light. Rest in Peace Mako Bob.

A very sad day for the BWE community. Bob was the most generous man I ever met, totally unselfish. He's fishing baja for ever, pain free and standing tall on his birth legs. You will be missed Bob.

That's so sad. I only got to meet Bob when my dad and I went down to Gonzaga the once, but he's up there among the most unique, wry, and genuine advocates for true personal happiness I've seen.

Rob, I gathered you two were close.
I'm really sorry for your loss and that of the community.

Mako gave me the courage to travel beyond my comfort zones.. He introduced me to the beautiful land that we all know as Baja.. He had a fighting spirit I knew like no other and no matter his situation would always reach out to make sure you were doing ok..

He will be sorely missed.. This still has not taken toll and will not for a while with everything going on but he knows the effect he had on others.. May his soul rest in peace..

This hurts..
Moore fish for you now brother.. Thanks for everything Bob
