Not a picture, but a memory of who Sal was.....

Deeply saddened by his passing. I hope I do get to meet him in another life.

When Sal toured the Penn plant he was in his glory. It was the first time we had met, however, we had shared years of communications, gifts, and helping one another.  I know Sal for a decade and these photos capture him doing what he loved most.  The only thing missing is a family photo because Sal was the epitome of a family man.  Fishing, food, friends, and his furry friend (Maggie) were other things that brightened his day which were captured nicely here.
Thanks for posting these,
Dom

Hello guys, Sorry this took a while, I was trying to download this video and it gave me a hard time. I hope everything shows ok.
This short video was done 10 hours after the contest was over, so you could see that I did not open the box earlier, not that it matters anyway, I was way off with my guessing 😁

Thank you all for the pictures. Not even sure exactly why, but that video put a big smile on my face. Thanks for digging that one out Allen.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Rest in peace Sal.  Thank you for rallying the troops and visiting the Factory a few years back.  You will be missed.
