Memories of Mike Sakamoto

[Stan Wright]

Mike and I fished together for over 35 years. Here are just a few of the memories .....
Mike Sakamoto in Alaska.


Mike, Brian and Andrew checking out some rods at the sports show.


Opi and Mike filming a "Fishing Tales" show on Lake Wilson.


Mike and a nice peacock bass.


If you ask Mike what he did for a living he would say he was an artist.
But it was his love of fishing that made him famous. This is a drawing he did for me.


This is an oil painting is called "Papio".


The "Shower Trees" in a Hilo Park. (Oil)


BOOM..... This is one of my favorite cartoons that Mike drew.


OH OH OIO

Saw this on the news last night. Sad to hear it.

My condolences Stan (and for his family too). I bought Mike's book "101 Fishing Tips" a couple of months ago and I really enjoy all the tips he shared. There were also many pictures of you in there. From your foreword, I knew you and Mike were close friends.

At 59, he's still too young. It was unfortunate he had non-Hodgkins. I hope he's in a better place now chasing all the fish he wants and painting beautiful pieces of art.
