Man, that's hard to believe. It's hard to believe that someone that experienced could be gone like that. I really enjoyed reading his fishing stories, and was always amazed at how many spreader bars he would pull behind his boat. RIP Marty, and condolences to his family

I'm sad beyond words.........Marty was one of the great ones and he will be sorely missed by all.

I guess we can all be thankful that at least he went doing what he loved doing the most - fishing...with his son. I'm so sorry Cody. Just know that your dad loved you more than you can imagine and he'll always be with you in spirit.

Tightlines Marty - till we meet again ~
