BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted November 5, 2021 BassResource.com Administrator Posted November 5, 2021 A GoFundMe Account has been set up to help Aaron's family. I personally verified with his mother that this is indeed a legit GoFundMe account. Please donate! https://gofund.me/952c9d8a 5 1 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted November 5, 2021 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted November 5, 2021 Looks like a few folks are skeptical about the GoFundMe account - even a few are calling it a scam. To set the record straight... I'm personal friends of the Martens family. As you may know, Aaron's mother Carol writes articles for BassResource. I contacted her regarding this GoFundMe account after discovering it myself while I was trying to set one up too. Carol confirmed it is legit. Eric Huff is also a family friend of the Martens, and he was the first to ask her about setting up this account on their behalf. So instead of creating a new one and causing confusion such as this, I decided to point people to the account Eric created. Hope that helps! Happy to answer any questions. 1 2 Quote

eric huff Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Hello, i'm eric huff owner of eric's tackle shop. I am also the one that set up the account for Aaron. I have known Aaron since he was in his early teens and fished with him back when he was fishing saltwater on our sportfishing boats in socal. I approached Carol before i set up anything on gofundme. My idea was to help Lesley put Her and Aaron's kids through college. My tackle shop is 15 minutes away from lake casitas and 40 minutes from castaic. The shop has been here since 1979! I understand people questioning the gofundme page but if you check Carol even shared it. This is my forth gofundme fundraiser all for people in the fishing industry. Anyone is welcome to call me with questions 805-648-5665. Btw i also informed Billy Egan of Western Outdoor News before he started his for Aaron. Billy was in Cabo at the time otherwise i would of set it up with him probably. eric huff 1 Quote
