In Memoriam, Gordon Merck

 

Godspeed, Gordy!
Gordy was a quiet, humble man that loved to fish that I met through the Fisher of Men Club, Twin Cities. The last time I fished with him was in 2011 on Cedar Lake, where his beloved Camp Lebanon is located. He was always trying to get us Fisher's Of Men guys to come out there and fish him. I finally did in 2011 with him and Pete. We caught fish and listened to Pete complain and make suggestions on where to go when we weren't getting bit.
Another memorable trip with Gordy was on a rainy Thursday night on Lake Minnetonka in 2006. Gordy was the only other guy to show up for this outing. We caught bass, pike, crappie, sunfish, and even a life jacket that had blown off somebody's boat that we found as we were going through a boat channel.
See ya on the other side.
