BFSC. BIG FISH SMALL CAMERA My heart sank. Hope they find him. Edited September 12, 2018 by misfish
grimsbylander Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 I hate hearing about this kind of thing. I hope they find him very soon safe and sound. 1
Spiel Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 I was told early this morning that it was BFSC. Tragic regardless of who it is.
misfish Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Posted September 7, 2018 Agreed Chris. Just a little more closer to home this time, and shocked
s2k4mee Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 This is so sad. Praying that he's safe.
Jds63 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) I saw the news this morning on Tv , they said it was someone out of Frenchmans Bay ... I've watched many of his videos ...... tragic news .... Edited September 7, 2018 by Jds63
misfish Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Posted September 7, 2018 If I read this right, one found alive but no name released, one still missing. This is gut wrenching. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ajax-missing-boater-1.4814096
Tom S Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 Terrible thing to hear. Hope they find him soon. Saw two choppers come screaming into Hamilton from over the lake last night, and back out again probably 15 minutes later. Figure it was a fuel stop. One all lit up, one without any visible lights. I wonder if they were part of the search effort to the west end of the lake.
BillM Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) I was wondering what those planes were doing out over the lake yesterday, I could see them while I was fishing out of PH yesterday evening. Let's hope this ends with good news. There was a bit of a wind from the SW yesterday, but the lake was decent. Edited September 7, 2018 by BillM
Headhunter Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 I didn't recognize him by name, but I sure remember his avatar and reports. I hope this ends well. HH

That's correct Sinker. " The fisherman, identified by police as Toronto resident Kevin Wong, was reportedly filming a video with a friend when he disappeared. Police say the friend was out on the water in a separate boat and lost sight of the 31-year-old shortly before noon." https://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/search-resumes-for-fisherman-missing-in-ajax-1.4083860
Sinker Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 They have his boat, presumably his camera (s), his GPS tracks should all be there on his graph. There could even be video of what happened. Praying they find him. S.
OhioFisherman Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 Hope he is OK, it's been a bad year on Erie here.

grimsbylander Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 This is painful. Missing on the water for 24 hours is very, very bad. I feel especially bad for his family too. Must be excruciating to endure the waiting.
Fisherman Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 Pretty sad for his family too, hope they find him. I don't feel right without the PFD.
ccmtcanada Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 Oh man. My heart sank when I realized it was Kevin from this board. Praying he’s found safe. 1
PUMP KNOWS Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 I just saw the news earlier... I hope they find him safe.
bobowski Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 This is so terrible. I hope and pray he is found safe.
Dan668 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Terrible news, very sad! He last texted me on Sunday with pics of the new bow mount and seemed anxious to get out. Praying that he is found. Edited September 7, 2018 by Dan668
spincast Posted September 7, 2018 Report Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) oh no. I saw this on the news, and wondered. Edited September 8, 2018 by spincast
