Good morning FFR family and friends. If you didn't hear the news, last night at 1030p BooDreaux passed away. He was fighting Necroting Fasciitis, aka flesh eating disease. This disease is horrible and as anglers, if you go into the water with a cut, either fresh or saltwater you could be in trouble. BooDreaux was the main reason why we had a radio show. When he and I started working together the show was called BooDreaux's BoonDocques. He allowed me to invite Captain Mike in but also change the name to Fishing Florida Radio mainly because NO ONE COULD spell that name. We wanted to have a show that was entertaining first, interview professional anglers and be a show like no other. I know we were one of the first to do this. We were one of the biggest and most downloaded shows on iTunes. At one time, we were the 2nd most downloaded outdoor show on iTunes with MILLIONS of downloads. Boodreaux always allowed us to have fun, poke fun at him, but knew he was a better team player that the main person talking. BooDreaux knew EVERYONE in the industry, scary how many people he knew, and while we all have our faults, he always had our fishing community in his heart and moving forward. He participated in kids fishing events, our Gumbo Wars cooking event yearly and was a good man. I think we are going to still do the blood drive on Wednesday at Fish on Fire, and if your available to make it, we would love to see ya and say thank you for listening to us all those years, we really appreciated the love and support. God Bless!!
