Fishing Report from Tillamook, Oregon
October 8, 2007 In memory of Eugene(Gene)Hoefer submitted by Matthew Daily. I am attaching a picture of a fish that my Father-in-law the greatest man I have ever known caught. His name is Eugene Hoefer. This is a very sad story, but it is a fisherman',s dream. On October 3, 2007, Eugene was out fishing like he loved to do. All day no bites very bad rain. As we were readying to leave he said his famous saying "one last cast". Well he took that cast and with it he hooked into this beautiful 40lb buck. While fighting the fish he suffered a severe heart attack. He landed the fish and then collapsed. He later was pronounced dead at the Tillamook Community Hospital. He died with a great big smile on his face, but I was wondering if you would put this picture of the fish up on your website. Although he couldn',t be there to hold the fish for the picture myself and longtime friend John Siller held it for him. I know that he always wanted to make it on the guide shop website and he would be honored. If it is not possible because of the troubles that have become the guide shop that is fine, but I figured I would take my best shot. Thank you for your time. Matthew Daily (son in law) Well, here is to Eugene Hoefer....the greatest man who left us doing what he loved to do...Good fishing to all, Marilyn http://www.guideshop.com/thumbnails/gene.jpg
