Just wanted to say we lost a great man today. Jeff Stokes of Kingston lost his year + long fight with cancer this afternoon.. Ill cherish all the great times and laughs we had over the years fishing together.. Love and will miss you Cappy. Fish On Brother.

Prayers to Nancy the family and loved ones of Jeffery Stokes.
I liked that man from the day I meant him at Broadhead and we trolled for the day, a full day until we each had what we had that we had went for. There were many long days fighting the weather, some days I couldn’t believe he stayed out and rowed against a power that could take your life. He showed me a lot and I have a 14 pound brown  taken 25 years ago and Jeff that day caught one the weighted 13.5 not a bad day for two guys fighting the wind. Two different guys in ways but came together to meet a challenge. I will miss him. When they speak about fishing men, my thoughts go to Jeffery Stokes and will until it doesn’t matter anymore. If the good lord needs a man to produce fish fit the congregation, well he chose his captain with care.
Rest In Peace Captain
Rest In Peace Jeffery

No person was ever honored for what he received . Honor is the reward for what he gave.

Glad to have known Jeff for the little time that I did and to have fished together numerous times. What a great fisherman. Condolences to the family. RIP.
