Yesterday the FCC & the world lost a true friend /
careing competitor and a true fisherman of this
life time. We lost Nate Scholts, 27 yrs old, doing
what he loved, i mean loved to do. Nate ate, slept,thought
Crappie Fishing 24 - 7....was constantly working
to improve his skills on the FCC trail as well as a
reconsigned Crappie Fisherman...........Finishing 2nd
with partner Toby Lloyd in December's FCC Classic
tournamentr, really putting the "hurt" on some good pros,
than comming back in January to finish 5th on Crappie
USA National Trail in Amateur Div.

Nate lost his life fishing on lake Alto - his death is under
investigation at this time, but he being recorded
as an accident.

Our hearts and prays go out to Nate's family to help with
the healing and our club will miss him sorely, not only as
a competitor but a TRUE FRIEND. "NATE,REST IN PEACE,"
we are grateful for the time you spend with us on
this earth.

TC (Toby) I know and feel the pain you are going thru at this time, having lost
close friends in accidents, and various sicknesses, but time will heal this tremendous
depression you are feeling. In time, my friend, the heavy heart will lighten and you
will remember the fun, good times you had together and this will remain with you for
the rest of you life.

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Nate... but I can plainly see and feel that you guys are obviously dear friends who are feeling the deepest of pain and mourning
for the loss of a best friend and very respected competitor. I feel sure from the descriptions of him that you all have described that he would want you to go on doing
the things that he remembers you doing together... and doing it with the highest degree of excellence possible... and with fond memories of his legacy and in loving
remembrance of him.

Prayers for all of you and the family in this time of pain and mourning.
