I think we all knew what the final outcome was going to be. I'm glad the family has some closure now. Big loss to the fishing community as a whole and definitely to OFC. It sucks, no other way to put it.

Lousy news for sure but if it is Kevin it'll be much better for the family with closure.

Never met the man, but I did enjoy his videos. If there's any consolation, at least he died doing what he loved. I hope his friends and family can find peace.

A huge chill/shiver came over me when I read this.

if this is political Im sorry but surprise surprise, just another example of the tax man being a complete joke 2 real life examples from the last year my father had shares that he owned in the company that he works for. The CRA decides that last year they were going to reclassify the shares and subsequently an additional amount of taxes would be owned related to the dividend payments that were being issued on an annual basis...no big deal, my father was fully prepared to pay the back taxes that he was required to pay as the CRA had made their decision regarding the classification of the shares. My father immediately pays the CRA the additional tax owed when he gets a letter a month later from the CRA claiming him that they require him to pay 6 years in interest payments immediately on the amounts owed because he failed to pay the appropriate amount of taxes and that if he failed to pay them the interest immediately they were going to press charges...remember the CRA are the ones that decided to change the classification of his shares. second one that i ended up just winning 2 weeks ago I moved from my house in Toronto the vancouver 2 years ago. I then subsequently moved back to toronto and continued working 7 months later. As part of my taxes for that year I claimed my moving expenses and had all of the neccesary documents to back up my claims. Last year a year after i make the claim i recieve a notice via the My CRA webmail application that i signed up for rather than receiving mail documentation (im terrible at losing stuff) in the fall that I owe the CRA all of my moving expenses credit back because i failed to provide the required documentation to back my claim. Confused as hell i contacted them and said, umm how was I supposed to provide you with the documentation that you are requesting if you never asked me for it? they responded well...we did we sent you a letter via mail...well i thought that i signed up to recieve correspondance digitally like how you just contacted me right now...but whatever, ok where did that letter go to? my address in vancouver?...no...we the request for proof for your moving expenses to the address that you moved away from ? The CRA then agrees to send me everything all over again to the correct address, i immediately put everything together including a letter from the CFO a CA at the company that i work for proving that i was never reimbursed any moving expenses...a year passes and i get a notice about 2 months ago saying that they are going to press charges against me for not paying them with interest included. So i call them again and say whats going on i never heard anything related to what i provided you...they request that i submit my dispute online and remind them of the documentation that i submitted...i do that again and i recieve a note a week later saying that my dispute is denied, the same one they asked me to submit because its now been over a year since the original matter began... In the end 2 weeks ago i called again and said what the hell is going on?! and finally someone tells me...oh...i see that everything has been cleared up, we are going to be issuing you a credit for the tax refund that you never got this year because we thought you had outstanding amounts owed to us... ya...thats how straight these guys have it.

I hear you Sterling. Our prayers go out to Kevin's family and friends. 31 is just too damned soon. I didn't know him personally but I know many here were tight with him, my condolences to you guys as well. I love his work.

Doesnt matter how good you can swim, some times this doesnt help depends on circumstances. I knew few guys from my swim team how ended up in grave because they belived they can conquer anything in water. Kevin was amazing person. Its a huge loss for fishing community. I hope family will find a piece.

I still have my OFC toque I picked up from TJ at the fishing show at the International Centre back when Christ was a carpenter. HH

You serious, it's common Asians can't swim well? Come on man.

More like middle aged and cheap. My boat needs much love and money But fishing needs to happen too

LOL .... and so it begins. BTW - I have that other rod ready now if you want to drop me a note. Friday should work.

Pike teeth are like a blade, walleye teeth are like a spear tip.

Hey guys, Thanks for checking up on me! Been trying to keep myself busy; rented a small apartment up in Noelville for a couple of months and spent a lot of time with the kids. That, spending time with my brother, and life in general has kept me pretty well occupied for the last several months. ?

According to my son who is a resident biologist on a large commercial tilapia farm, tilapia are intolerant to cold and start to die off when the water temps drop to below 55oF. Although some could survive, it is highly unlikely they could reproduce in the temperatures found in Lake O. I suppose he should know and I can assure you that these little tidbits of relatively useless information cost me dearly so I'm going to have to go along with his answer I guess.

I dont even remember how I found this site???? I love it( but i apologize to all you board members for having to deal with me???) The only board im on
