Bob Pond has passed

He passed last night at 92. This comment came from another site and I completely agree with the sentiment. He was well-regarded and came from another era when all anglers treated each other with the utmost respect and had manners toward one other.
RIP Mr Pond.



"...one of the great sportsman of his time. A man whom always listened and gave back to our striped bass resource like none other.
His early days along the Cape Cod Canal was the beginning of large plugs that in some cases were duplicated and copied. He tutored many of the plug builders of his time including Stan Gibbs, Charlie Murat to name two whom went on to become ledgents themselves."

A true legend, may have done more for the striped bass than anyone. RIP.

I never met him but heard a few great stories. At 92 he was on this earth for many years. He must have had more than one opportunity to anger or irritate someone. Yet I didn't hear anything negative about the man. I guess that says a lot for his character and the way he was brought up.

My sincerest condolences to the Pond family.
