TRIBUTE TO MY GOOD FRIEND

Long time friend and fishing partner, Tom "Tiny" Kusbel, passed away Thursday.  Tom is a retired policeman from the City of Whiting.  Tiny loved his fishing and enjoyed heading to remote destinations not only for fishing but the love of seeing new places and new adventures.  Tom and I were pioneers in the peacock bass fishing venturing to the Amazon jungle in the early 90s before the word got out on this fishery.  Tom also loved fishing with his family at places like Yellow Lake in Webster, WI and Lake of the Woods in Canada.  Tiny would have really enjoyed fishing with me at places like La Zona and Thailand but his health would not enable to allow him.  I was very fortunate to see Tiny a few days before he passed.  Tom, rest in peace my good buddy and am sure we will catch a few river monsters in the fisheries in heaven.  God bless!!  Bob Daly
