some very sad news

Shocking news.

I only met him the once when I went down to fish the SPA. He was decent enough to meet up with me after been out to all hours with the rose festival and drive me over and back for the session in his 4*4 out to his prefered mark. All for a fella he only knew through emails and texts.

Awful news, I didn't know Liam, but always enjoyed looking through his website and reading his posts on here, his videos there were mind blowing, RIP Liam.

All at Tralee Bay Sea Angling Club wish to extend their sincere condolences to all of Liam's family and very many friends - may he rest in peace.

Never Met him, but heard of him, he drowned doing what he loved most, God rest him, and look after his family at this time.

Dear all,

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts, they mean a lot. As some of you know Liam died tragically on Monday 18th May in a freak drowning in Exmouth, Western Australia. He had spent the last 2 months travelling up the west coast fishing his heart out.

We know anyone who has ever known him or met him is totally devasted. We didn't know about this forum and it's lovely to see all the people he touched. If anyone would like more details or anything please feel free to contact either myself or Caitriona on the emails below and we will keep ye posted.

My condolences to the family for their loss, sincerely, Eoghan


Update :

I just looked at his videos on Utube. They are brilliant.
It looks like he really died doing what he loved.
I know that's little or no consolation. Very sad.
