Todd Enders

Todd was an interesting guy. We shared a lot of interests:
hunting, flyfishing, homebrewing, and more. He always had
his own eccentric twist on things though. He hunted ducks
with a 10 gauge muzzleloading shotgun. He fished with cane
rods that he built himself. The last rod he built was a
9 foot 9 weight for pike and salmon fishing. He caught a
few salmon with it back in October. He liked to fish in
places that most people ignored, like the State Fairgrounds
pond right here in town. On roff, he was probably best known
for his series of trip reports for bluegill on the pond.
If you google up some of his TRs, you will find them peppered
with smileys , and that's what a conversation with Todd
was like. He was always cheerful, and overflowing with enthusiasm.
He worked in the IT dept. here at Minot State, and he dropped
in on my office all the time and we would have long rambling
conversations about our latest fishing trips or projects.
Whenever he finished a rod, he would bring it by to show it
off.

Thursday night Todd had a heart attack, and Friday morning
he was gone. He was 44 years old.

Kevin,
trying really damn hard not to be bitter.

Go right ahead and feel bitter. Sometimes it helps.

Damn. I wanted to read more of his adventures on the pond.

My condolences to those he left behind.

Oh Damn. Too young, and I don't know if I could aviod being bitter in
your shoes.

I remember his great tale about his new bamboo and catching 3 big
brownies in a row...I'll miss him and his 'remove hook to reply'.

Bye Todd; thanks for being among us.

I will miss Todd and his reports of catching bluegill very much. He was
way too young to go.

Hi Kevin,
Sorry to hear that news. I enjoyed reading his pond reports about
bluegills. Seemed, to me, a guy who would "always" like going and just
enjoying the "pond". . .and always wanted to learn more about it, and how to
catch some of the critters in it. I'm glad he was willing to share his
stories.
