Rip hobo shoestring. He really was a genuine human here for ya Mark

I’m sorry to hear that news, I hope you start to feel better soon. Thank you for your time on the water and your videos

My condolences man. It's funny how close you can get to youtubers, musicians, etc, that you’ve never met. Glad to see you're working through things and letting yourself feel the emotions. Grief is a funny thing

It’s a sad loss and he will be missed. Hope this is a bit of a testament of how you guys touch ppl who you may never meet. I’ve watched him for awhile and admired him greatly. As well as you mark, hope you realize what you mean to us.

Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

I feel you're pain brother . I held on hope but I knew it wasn't gonna end well. Rip Hobo Shoestring.

Thanks for this Mark. RIP Shoestring

I cried like a baby. ...hope you good fishing

Old Hobo hopped that Cadillac Grainer straight to the pearle gates.

Finally seeing and honest and no speculation on what happened to Mark. Thank you so much. Gonna sub to your channel. Been searching and watching vids for awhile today. Didn't know something happened to him. Was in hosp.awhile myself. I just heard today. I knew he had not been making vids for awhile just the shorts. Don't no what your channel is about just found it but did see a bike there behind you. Maybe an old Harley. I use to ride but my balance not great got scared as old mine. I'm 74 so maybe time to not ride anymore to many health problems. 2 accidents also. One bad 1 not bad but could have been.Well not Harley a bicycle that ok too. I never met Mark at all but loved him and the vids.. He showed his apartment,the patio and the lake.. I'm gonna watch you to see what you do.. They all crap except yours..

Thanks man. I’ve been thinking about it a lot too. At least his body and mind are no longer suffering and he is at peace.

cried for days had to quit. I met Mark way back in 95.

My sympathy for you and your friend.

Gonna miss Shoestring,Mark Nichole's

My condolences m hood 🙏🏽 much blessings to you and stay safe out there in the water he will always be with you in spirit he will always be with you ❤ stay strong 💪🏽 brother 1 love ❤️

I never took death lightly! Never took it well at all when friends, family and my ex passed away. I never really got over loved ones passing.....I guess I just weened myself slowly away from the losses, but never completely moved on from them. 😥

R I P Hobo ShoeString !

Thanks buddy

well I enjoyed his videos and his struggles for several years I grieved over him and felt bad for him. he is much younger than me, I never met him I was hoping one day because I love his stories, so it is not unusual to form friendships over the internet.

God Bless,RIP HOBO

Sad to hear about Hobo Shoestring. Celebrating his life is a good thing to do.

Fishing is a kind of meditating and thinking of passed beloved persons is a good way to hnour them. Greets from germany

Will be missed

I just looked at name of your channel i love fishing

Been with u years dono your great person fisherman etc Shoestring was the bomb of person god bless yall everyone

I live in Kingsport Tennessee. (Right next to Johnson City) Shoestring was well known here. So sorry for your loss. And you’re right we might not have met in person but watching you or even him we get to know you.

You so right.Adios amigo

Well said.

You have my condolences M Hood I am sorry to hear this Brother!

That big one you lost was definitely a red ear. They hang with those red bellys out here in Westwego

I saw this on my local news station as I live in Johnson city and I saw the post on fishing with Billy’s channel and thought that was the same man I saw on the news. From what I understand they are still investigating it too see exactly what happened. I fish Boone lake a lot and I was just fishing the weekend before last near the place where they found the body. That’s crazy. So sorry for the loss for everyone.

well damn. sorry to hear this..

I want to know the cause of death. It's not really morbid, it's just a normal curiosity. I've told family close to me, that when I pass away, just tell everyone the truth. Why have people guessing, or spreading rumors. But, yes, it is good to celebrate his ability to enjoy his life, his way. And nice enough to share it with us.

We'd take it better if he'd left us a stringer of vittles on the bank. I'm 57. Just seen my 5&7 year old grandsons today, and my son. I will not leave them. They are life. Lost Lizard to the rail, way back in the 90s.

What? I just watched one of his videos a few weeks ago. That's sad.

Hood when can me and you meet and go fishing man I'm actually begging you to let's go fishing man.

RIP hobo, may you jump and ride many trains in heaven.. 😢😢

Homeward Bound Mark Nichols

🙏😥😓❤️

😢

Well said at the end M Hood. I have always wondered your real name. 🤷🏽‍♂️ can you say it in one of your videos?

Everything dies brother, but death isn't the end!

hey hood i never paid him any mind his stuff never really spoke to me but if you want to the tube to lay off carpet bombing you try drop the sub to his channel and clear your watch history that normally stops it!!

Yeah you are very odd!
