Well I would certainly wish Tony all the best with his future endeavors and hope that whoever ends up with WB can maintain the standard that is present now. I spend more time on this site than any other and it has taught me a lot, not to mention the new contacts it has helped me make. It is nice to have a forum where we are allowed to be ourselves and have mods that respond to our needs in a positive way. Tony thanks for all the years of a great site and whatever happens in your future I hope you thoroughly enjoy yourself.

It cannot be an easy thing to put a labor of love up for sale..I can only say the value I have gotten from this site is far beyond any possible sale price Tony may get..I can only wish him the best and pray for the continued success of the site..Tony has provided so many of us with something very special, we will never be able to thank him enough...

Im in the market, what kinda dinner we talkin?

[Rich hamilton]

Kinda sad folks! Tony and crew have provided me personally many, many hours of enjoyment. It has been a good ride! The one thing that I try to explain to young firefighters at work is remember the folks we have lost and remember how we dealt with it and moved on. This for me is the same in the fishing community, we have lost some great folks and if anything it has made me appreciate each and every day on the water. This time frame of NCBF and then Westernbass will be a great nugget of a memory in my life. Kind of hard to express feelings on a keyboard but what I am trying to say is we have something special and it might be gone forever. In the end all we really have is our families and each other...

[Skeeterman]

Offduty said it perfect.It's going to be hard to replace sTONY but I hope sTONY will stick around to help who takes over WB to make sure it gets done right.
Thanks sTONY for making WB the best site west of the Mississippi or better yet the best bass site in the country.Good luck sTONY.

I met Tony many years ago when I joined the NorCal Trophy Hunters Bass Club. Then I found out about his website called NCBF and now Western Bass it was and still is one of the best bass fishing site period. Good luck Tony !

Maybe I should buy it!

Tony,

I remember how exciting it was when you decided to take over the site from Bob Taylor. We were afraid we were going to lose our beloved NCBF. Not only did we not lose it, you made it better a hundred fold. I have many fond memories and friends I can attribute to your efforts. Though I don't come around much any more, I still gotta say "Thank You!"

Best wishes for the sale and your future endeavors. You have set the bar pretty high indeed.

Pat

[sTony]

Thank you all for the kind words and well wishes. I've been a bit under the weather as of late and can't really talk here about the status of the website. When I can I will let you know what's going. For now, the site is up and running strong and will continue to do so for some time to come.

My thanks,

sTony

[TonyB]

sTony,

Although I haven't been active in quite a long time, some of my fondest memories were with you and the Nutcases. Although its been from a distance, I've watched you take NCBF from where it was at your first Nutcase Classic at Amador to where its become, an established, well respected and very successful business known as Westernbass. This is because of your hard work and dedication and also just because you're a great, all-around guy! Good luck to you and your family in your future endeavors and hopefully I'll run into you sometime around town. Take care and thanks for the great memories. Its been a pleasure.

Altho this tread is over a month old, I will say that I wish sTony the best in his future endeavors.
I appreciate all you did to carry this site on from the Bob Taylor days, and take it to a level that only you could have the vision for.
I wish you well my friend. ........Scott V.

Dang Tony......... I don't know how to say any more than has been already.
I came here (NCBF) just after the transition from Bob, helped run how many of the early NCC's, learned how much, and even though I haven't so much as fished for a bass in I can't remember how long, I still pop in to check on the guys I met through here.
That list is topped by you my friend!
I haven't been the friend I should have over the years, been too wrapped up in my own stuff, but you are the reason I still stop by here!
I wish you, April, & the kids all the best!

Since I came on board and had my first Nutcase with NCBF and Westernbass.com it has been great. Many new friends and good times fishing, with sTony's help and this site. I wish him all the best in what ever and where ever he takes it. Bill K

WOW!!!! I AM Shocked!! It seems like forever (since the NCBF DAYS) sTony that you have ran this site , I for one am SAD to see you sell. This site as been a big part of my life and I think alot of others as well. I am not on or post as much as I use to, but then again fishing has become just one of many hobbies I enjoy these days. I understand we grow up get older and other things just become more importent then fishing. I really hope you have found somthing more importent in life and moving forward towards a better future. (Harbor Master?) Anyway I am sad to see you go this place will never be the same for me anyways without you deleting my post LOL LOL . I wish you well my friend and hope what ever you got going on the back burner works out great for you.


This ones for you
