Very sad news from Loreto

[Carl Blackledge]

Hey guys,

Last night I called my guide in Loreto to have our monthly BS session, His daughter answered his cell phone and seemed to be crying, she explained that Joselino wasn't feeling too good so they took him to the doctors office and they immediately put him in the hospital, where he died 3 days later with the virus.......I was stunned to hear this. In my office I have fish pictures all over the walls with him and I with big smiles on our faces. last year we figured out the rooster's together and pounded them like no tomorrow . It's going to be a sad day in Loreto next year when I show up for 6 weeks and will be fishing with somebody else, I have fished with Joselino for around 18 years in a row...He will be missed by anybody that ever met him, he was a true friend of mine.
