I LOST MY FISHING HERO!! (BE BIG!)

[@BernPisarcikJr]

Just listening to this tonight. I paused half way, and called, talked to my dad for 45 minutes shooting the breeze. Then I continued to listen. Thank you for sharing, Bernie ( a 48 yo mechanic) from South Jersey.

[@richardmajewski3815]

Sorry to hear of your loss and thanks for taking the time to reintroduce us to your father Luke.

[@danfriedman4891]

Thank you so much for taking the time to tell your audience about your Dad. So sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers for you and your family.

[@rickrobinson5611]

Sorry for your families loss. My father passed in 2006. It leaves a big hole in your heart, but it gets better. I have several great and not so great memories of my father and it sounds like you do too. Hang in there brother its gets better. The Low lifer crowd is behind you and your family. Prayers.

[@toddbrown9398]

I'm so sorry man. Unfortunately we all have to go through that experience. Fortunately you've got a lot support both within your close circle and through this platform. We all are grieving with and for you!

[@johnnymassengale6275]

I was driving on my way to a club tournament and listened to this. I would like to, once again, extend my profound sorrow for your loss. But listening to this episode, I had to pull over and wipe the sweat from my eyes. This took me back to my hero, my dad. He was good and in the 70's dad beat big names in a rival organization to BASS known as the American Bass Fisherman. Paul Elias was dad's personal friend. I watched as a teenager beat big name pros. Hang in there Luke. Prayers for you and the family.

[@drmichellethomason]

Continued prayers for you, Luke & the whole family. I lost my Dad in 2014 from a sudden heart attack & it was one of the most difficult things in my life. The healing process will be ongoing but it helps to talk about the good times & wonderful memories you made together. I love the message to Be BIG. Take care of yourself! Sending hugs to you all. ❤️‍🩹

[@PatriciaClise]

Luke I just found out about your dad and wanted to let you know my husband I send our deepest sympathies to you and your family. My mother (who has Alzheimer's) had a horrific fall the day after Thanksgiving and we have been in the hospital since. We were not sure she was going to recover, but thank the good Lord she is expected to go home today or tomorrow and she is doing pretty good. The near death experience was devasting enough to me so my heart truly aches for your loss!!! Take care and keep on keeping on making him proud of you!!!

[@harryestep2488]

Prayers for you and your family! Never easy loosing your dad! Great tribute to him and your mom. Lots of good lessons and memories!

[@T_J_Fishin]

Luke, my heart is broken 💔 for you. Take care of yourself and your family, brother. 😢 I have no idea what you are going through. I haven't ever meet my father but I know loss. Hug your love ones we never know when thier time is up.

[@fishizo]

So sorry for your loss Luke, we don't know each other personally, but been on the train for about 2 years now. You do an awesome job and I know you will continue to! Thoughts and prayers brother. 🙏👊

[@treylee7623]

Sorry for your loss Luke. This episode is by far the best episode of LBL ever!

[@iamcrankinstein8013]

Damn, blown away. Praying for you. My dad is 83 is my best friend and we once fought every day trying to start and run a company together, fished every weekend trying to be the best bass fishing team we could be. We realized we just needed to be father and son and not work together. Still bass fished, musky fished, crappy fished, hunted and still did small side jobs together. My sisters and the grandkids do not know him the way I did. We fished/hunted/worked together from my 5th birthday till I was 32. He then retired and I went on to work for a large company. My whole work existence is to show how well my dad trained me. He is now at the end of life and this podcast has me in bad shape. 8 years ago he said he could no longer fish out of a boat. I gave up my boat. I still keep up with all things bass fishing but haven’t been able to fish out of a boat since. Haven’t hunted since. I have made a goal to start back next year. Praying for you brother!!!

[@715basser]

Not easy losing a father. Lost mine 16 years ago and not a day goes by without me thinking about him. Prayers to you all!

[@24bhyn]

So sorry for your loss. I don't know you or your family personally but have followed your career since 2016 and LBL since the beginning. Thoughts and prayers

[@Caught_a_Goodwin21]

[@PhyllisDial]

Luke I love you more then you will ever know. I'm always here for you. This was great and a beautiful tribute to your Mom And Dad even though you have your crazy Aunt crying like a baby...

[@HenryWiggins-e7r]

Prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time. Thanks for sharing some of your memories with your Dad!

[@jeremypruitt138]

I love you Luke! I know that may sound strange coming from a stranger. Your podcast has got me through many difficult times in my life. I'm only 33 years old and I do not have any family left besides my amazing 10 year old daughter. It's been hard but people like you and her keep me smiling and my head up. I look forward to watching your show every week. You take as much time as you need brother we will all be here waiting for you when you're ready to come back!! RIP Pop

[@jacobbull8338]

[@johnrobeson9209]

Sorry for your loss luke prayers for your family i don't comment often but I do listen every week just remember your mom and your dad will always be with you and guiding you

[@barryprice7692]

Praying for you brother. I went through this 15 years ago. I had to be the one to tell the Dr. to turn off the Life support and let him go. Losing your dad is tough. But don't forget to smile when you remember the good times fishing with him.

[@laddy7166]

So sorry for your family's loss. I will be specifically praying for all of you. May you carry on the family legacy proudly, I know you will.

So sorry to hear about your loss Luke! Many prayers for you and your family! my dad and I were always at each other, two alike to understand. It wasn’t until my mom’s passing a few years ago that he and I have gotten closer.

[@timhigdonoutdoors5276]

Prayers for you and your family 🙏🏻

[@JoeGerossie]

I can’t even listen to this without choking up Luke! We share a similar story, same age, lost both my parents over the last few years. Dad also a local fishing hero that filled up a room, didn’t show that soft side though but knew it was in there. Hang in there man, thanks to big Marty for creating this traveling circus world. Loved the stories. Low lifer 👊🏻 Also my dad’s advice he gave me the most fishing, throw a spinnerbait on the windy side.

[@chundle09]

damnit man.. I didn’t know I would share a tear on this LBL. I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t know you at all man but I love this show and KNOW he’s was damn proud of you!

[@anthonycarpenter916]

Sorry for your loss bubba. Lost my pops 3 months ago. It's tough but thank you for all the podcast that I listened to traveling back and forth from Virginia to Iowa to pass the time and clear my head. Prayers to you and yours

[@stephenknight7601]

God Bless you and your family. Sounds like a awesome man. Hold those memories tight and always remember he is still there for you don’t stop speaking to him he will answer. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@spencersmith6754]

Hardest thing I’ve ever gone through was losing my hero who taught me how to fish. Family and friends will be the most important thing for now and you have an incredible amount of support from the #lowlifer community. We will see you next year.

[@martyaustin6545]

I love you brother, I am praying for you , it will get better Luke, I am 57, lost momma 30 years ago and dad is blind and has dimentia, but it will be alright, God is still in charge, If you ever need anything just call me buddy ❤

[@jamiepetrowski4902]

Super sorry for the loss. Me n my buddies got an annual trip started back in 2020 to take our dads to the big bass splash on Gville every year. It is the perfect tourney for some old guys who just want to soak their jig. It’s has created some great memories and not knowing how many years left you have with your dad it was important for me to have something for him to look forward to every year. Keep your spirits up! I’d assume most of us are ate up with bass fishing because of our dad’s.

[@andrewpiper4693]

You can feel, and see the love that you had for your Father. God bless my friend … stay strong … from your Canadian lowlifter

[@andredaniel1630]
