Time To Say Goodbye All

[Nitrofreak]

The time has come, I think it's probably a little overdue actually, shucks, my posts are not even making sense to me anymore, even after I re-read them, the past few years have taken a toll, financially, physically, mentally, fishing has been on the back burner for quite some time now and with no input to add to new things and or even some of the old, let's face it, i'm just lost, I think it best to say goodbye at least for now, I don't see me getting back on the water on any kind of a constant basis for quite some time yet so my contribution will be next to nothing, honestly, I do not like just being along for the ride if you get what I mean, thats just not how I am nor who I like to be.

 

I can not say how greatful I am to have found this site in the first place, much less be allowed to be a part of it, everyone here is AWESOME !!!!

 

The lessons that can be learned and the depth of the tallent here is nothing short of phenomenal, I owe a great deal of thanks to a great many people here, I don't know how I can say thank you all enough !!!

 

I will be around long enough to get the Dicks Sporting Goods stuff to the right person or people. 

 

To all of you, Thank you for everything and I hope to be back some day in the next few years but if not, it was a great ride and one I had a lot of fun with.

 

 

 

 

God bless, Good luck and be safe !!!

No way.  You aren't going anywhere.  Heck there are plenty of people whose post don't make any sense.  Far less sense than yours!  Just because you are not going to be on the water doesn't mean you cannot be a part of this community.  I refuse.  Get off the Cool-aid and come back tomorrow when you are in your right mind!

See the moderator won't let you leave, and I'm pretty sure it says somewhere forum rules that you can't argue with a moderator so I guess you're here to stay.

[Sam]

Very sorry to read your post.

 

Life holds many twists and turns and I think one day you will be a stronger person from your trials and tribulations.

 

All the best to you and the family and we look forward to your quick return to the Forum.

[flyfisher]

All the best my friend who i never actually met  I will think about you as i watch my Eagels beat up on the Redskins week one.

[Traveler2586]

NF, your family here, you don't leave family; just hang out and pass along a good joke now and then.

 

I wish you all the best with your financial and physical issues, but mentally.....   well????  ...........   JK.

 

You have my prayers for a brighter tomorrow my friend.

 

Again, if you ever get up my way, my door is always open, and we'll get a line wet.

 

Cheers, Eric

This community helps my sanity at times. Hope you stick around. Best wishes to your future.

Sonny, you can't just up and leave.  That would be like admitting defeat.  If you need to bend an ear, you have my number.  It would be a shame to not have your input on the forums anymore.  If you need a break, I know this nice little reservoir you can fish!!

[BassinLou]

Best of luck on your journey. May you find what you are looking for. When you do and when your ready. We will be here to welcome you back with open arms.

[Catt]

Sonny (Nitrofreak), I'm gonna miss ya

You are one of my favorite members and one I have total respect for.

Even though we never meet I feel as though I've known you for years.

I feel certain God will bless you and bring you back!

agreed. fishing should be ur escape from all things un-fun.

the doctor orders you to immediately report to a fun day of fishing with a BR member.

[gallowaypt]

I've found many of your posts both informative and logical. In fact, several posts you have made in the past have ended up helping me land more fish.

[slonezp]

Who are you again?

 

I always enjoyed your contributions and hate to see you leave. Where ever life takes you, you have my blessing.

[aceman387]

I hope you change your mind Sonny.I and many others on here have enjoyed your posts over the years.We would miss your presence on here.

[RyneB]

I have also enjoyed some of your posts. Good luck, and even though we have never met, I have read a lot of your posts and also enjoyed your input on topics. Good luck my BassResource friend. Two words of advice, never pea into the wind and never play hopscotch with a unicorn.

[SPEEDBEAD.]

LOL, you have read some of my aimless ramblings right?

 

You're in good company. No need to split.

[Jigfishn10]

Nitro, you're a very good friend who I can joke with and who I learn a lot from. Just take a break my friend and come back when you feel the time is right. I'm suppose to hit you with a joke right now, but not on this day. I will text you tomorrow to see what's eating you. Take a nights sleep and think about what you're doing my friend.

We'll talk soon.

We all came to BR because we like to fish.  But, that's not what keeps us here.  I became a member several years ago, when I was bass fishing at least once a week.  Over the years, I've all but quit fishing, only going a few times a year now, and rarely for bass.  Yet, I check the forums almost every day to see what's going on with my BR family.  I've learned a lot more valuable things on here than fishing.  I hope you'll hang around and continue to contribute.

[K_Mac]

Nitro we all go through different seasons in our life. You are part of the family here and many of us enjoy your posts, rambling or not. I wish you well and hope you will continue to hang around. Good luck my friend.

[Raider Nation Fisher]

My homie, I ain't bass fish but maybe once a month now. My life has gone completely and utterly to hell. My finances are in shambles. I have NO credit anymore, identity thieves would cry if they stole my identity. I'm having to foreclose and leave my condo and lose eight years worth of equity. All so I can move into a minority filled apartment complex while we get back on our feet. My Granddaddy in law is dying now. He is my only fishing buddy that loves the sport as much as I do. Plus to boot I'm stuck at a wretched company that pays their electricians subpar wages. This site has been one of the only things keeping me sane through all this. I'm not trying to compare problems or make your seem trivial. It sucks when you catch a God smack. Keep your head up brother. You got friends here. You know where to find us if you decide to leave.

Plus half my post are incoherent ramblings and mutterings.

Guys , I really can't say what this place means to me and how special it really is , to be able to go from a bank beater , to boat owner, to bank beater again from a boat and then finding out what having a boat really means to bass fishing was to say the least one of the greatest experiences of my life , and one I will cherish for the rest of my life !!!

I don't think I will be gone forever, however I truly can't answer that right now , I still have a goal that has not been met yet and that is to attend a Roadtrip , I don't see that happening anytime soon or at least for the next couple of years .

When I am able to come back , I want to be able to contribute as much as I receive , a lot is going on right now , but family life is strong and full of joy , so no worries , as long as we all have that we will be fine .

To all of you who have posted , thank you so very much , it means the world to me to know that I am thought of this way and I will remember that when I am blessed enough to get on the water again.

I want to leave you all with a little something I learned from catt.

Stop looking at the water with your eyes , open your minds to the deep waters and her secrets that they hold , see with your hands what your bodies of water can tell you , stop wondering if you can and believe that you can , there is a whole other universe , a completely different angle to being an angler .

Catt, you are the one responsible for making me fish where no other anglers were fishing , I swear there was a moment on the bow of that boat that you could have been in the water , grabbed the boat and turned it around and pushed it in the right direction , much like a moment you would turn a child in a tube on the water , that moment was one of the most significant I have ever had as an angler , I will never forget that nor will I ever stop learning from it , thank you my friend !

Fly , the Redskins are going to the Super Bowl , the path goes through Philly , I hope your wearing your big boy pull-ups cause your gonna need em ! I will be thinking of you both of those games !!

Sam , thank you !! You have got to be one of the most informed people I have ever met and one of the funniest !!!

Quan, the best dang angler as a whole I have ever had the pleasure of fishing with , we will bend a rod or two again , next time I will try to be a little more prepared , and yes I think I still have your number but please feel free to shoot me a text since I had to get a new phone !

Traveler , I vow to make that trip someday , you can find out first hand just how mentally unstable I can be !! Lol !

St. Sloan , thanks for the blessing , I will be collecting by the way !! HA !

Jf10, there is no better guy that I have shared sooooo many laughs with and so much more , you are a great friend to have and one I hope to never meet , my god just think of the trouble we would be in lol !!

Jeff, like I said , there is one more goal , I will continue to strive for that Roadtrip , maybe by then I can come back focused and sharper than ever , there is nothing more that I would like to do than to finally meet the man behind that great big smile you always seem to have !!!

God bless you all !!

[tomustang]

[MCS]
