Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of a Legend, Friend, Mentor and a true quality human being. Mark Sosin will be missed.

His larger than life presence and unmistakable voice dominated the saltwater airwaves for many decades as he helped launch countless careers over his lifetime both on and off the water in the fishing industry.

One of the greatest to ever send a cast into the ocean and one who also inspired me to do what I do now.

He will be greatly missed.Rest in Peace, Mark.
