I saw a list on bassfan.com of the guys who will not be fishing the Elite series this year and they gave a reason for a few of them. Marty Stone is on the list. I was hoping to get lucky enough to be his marshall when the Elites come to Toledo Bend. I hope it was just a personal decision to not fish this year and that he will be back.

….was wearing a neck brace, and had just had cervical fusion surgery. He was in Nashville for the B/U weekend about a month ago, and said he was not sure what he would be able to do.Whitten

I spoke with Marty briefly in November at a mutual friend funeral. He told me he was weighing his options at that time. His boys are growing up fast and he is enjoying spending time with them. Marty is a good guy with strong family values. I am sure whatever he decides is what will be best for him and his family. I am sure Marty will be invloved in fishing in one capacity or another. He is a great ambassador to the sport of fishing.

Being away from the family has got to be the toughest part of being a professional angler, especially when children are involved. My hat goes off to those who take a step back and decide that their family is more important.Jim EbarbMany, LA (Toledo Bend Lake)2004 Cougar/ 225 OptimaxHumminbird Helix 12 Chirp SI on BalzOut Mount at bowLowrance HDS 7 at bowHumminbird Helix 12 Mega SI on Ram Mount at ConsoleLowrance HDS 8 in dash at console

I have had the honor of knowing Marty since he was poor and sleeping in his truck to fish. I sold the first boat he won years ago for him and he helped me above and beyond when I had Bass Cat. He is one I can count on and call him a friend. He is a great rep for this sport and Bass Cat. I hope he returns to the spotlight soon and I know we will see him at some major happenings around the country. Never count a person like Marty out. Marty is “Good People” and when you do good, good comes back to you.Godspeed, Mark

I have had the surgery and understand what Byron is going through. My Dr. told me no boat rides for six months! I had mine done in 2003 and so far everything has been fine. Well I can sometimes tell when it is going to rain or snow! Part of why I wanted a BassCat was to protect the neck. That has something to do with why I am impressed with the Jag also (well maybe just a small reason).

Verdict is still out on this one, though as of the last we know of Marty was still just sitting tight.
