I love fishing! It can be Largemouth Bass or Crappy, Rockfish or Palegic species. I love it.
This year a friend of mine passed away. He loved to fish too.We met on a boat Skippered by his childhood friend Capt. David Ikeda, and fished the outer waters for Tuna and Yellowtail. Tomio was quite a charater. He was always pranking someone, or egging them on to joke around with someone. He was a direct kinda guy, but respected his elders, and tried to keep the generations fishing together. He had a hard last year, with a divorce and ailing real estate market (he was an agent), he came to me asking to pray for his situations. His father, another avid fisherman, contracted cancer during this time and the weight of his sorrow was heavy. He found peace with God through Jesus Christ and passed away from heart complications May 16th, 2012. His father followed him and passed away Sept.24th 2012. He and David asked me to take over his Charters aboard the "Endeavor" and so we fished the first annual "Tomio Nishimuta Memorial Fishing Charter".
Here's to Tomio!
