My name is Marlin, and I’m with Addicted Fishing. Today, I’m reaching out to the fishing community with a heavy heart to share the story of Michael Shufeldt, a dedicated boat captain who tragically lost his life in a freak accident. At just 26 years old, Michael was not only a skilled fisherman but also a loving husband and father. His untimely passing has left his family—his wife and two young children—facing unimaginable challenges.

We are launching a GoFundMe campaign to support Michael's family during this difficult time. As a fishing community that thrives on connection and support, we have the opportunity to rally together and provide some financial relief for them. The funds raised will go directly to the family, assisting them through this tragedy.

Michael's spirit and passion for fishing have touched many lives, and this is our chance to honor his memory. By contributing to this cause, we can show his family that they are not alone and that the fishing community stands behind them. Every donation, no matter the size, will help create a lasting impact and provide some comfort during this devastating time. Let’s come together and support those who meant so much to us.

Michael, of Reel Deal Fishing Adventures, will always be remembered as an amazing husband, father, and person. The PNW fishing community will forever remember him as an amazing angler & friend.

*This go fund me campaign has the direct blessing from the family. All funds will go to them.*
