Brendan Cuccinello has had to curtail his 2008" fishing season due to what he describes as 'health issues'.  I spoke with him the other evening while he was still in the hospital and found him to be quite depressed over his situation.   It seems he has a problem with his Kidneys and will be undergoing test to determine the severity of the problem in the near future.  He asked that I pass on his disappointment and that he will miss the friends he made during his short time with Atlantic.  We wish him all the best.
