Gentlemen, Captain George Prenant passed away last evening with his family by his side. Funeral arrangements are still being made as of this post.
I will openly thank Brandon White for creating Tidalfish,and allowing George and I to become good friends. For about a two year span, we communicated damn near every morning around 4:00 AM. I was just getting into the Bay fishing and once I gained his trust, he openly shared his decades of experience on the water with me.
I've fished with him many many times. Some paid trips, some freebies, hell I was his emergency mate for two trips. Six and half hours of pure hell. He said right, I went left. He said deep, I went shallow... So god damn funny. We did much much better the next day.....
But we both had this wonderful relationship.
You either loved George, or you hated him. I loved the man. His career in the Marines, life as a mechanic in Georgetown, and ultimately trolling our beautiful resource, The Chesapeake..
I do hope if you knew the man and how much he loved our fishery, you will make time to pay your respects.
I'll post as soon as I know the times..
