I may have not have seen him for months or years but he always had that same smile and eyes as big as silver dollars when we met. “No doubt he was a great angler, maybe the purest angler I have ever seen, but more importantly he was one the kindest and most sincere people I’ve ever had the chance to know. “The passing of Aaron puts life in perspective,” Brown said. Wired2fish President Terry Brown lives and breathes the fishing industry and has a hard time remembering someone with a purer and more loving heart than Martens had. He truly was one of the best on and off the water.” I will hold the moments I shared with him in high regard. He got so excited talking about fishing with people, you couldn’t help but be more jacked up about fishing after talking with him. He just had a rare love for everyone in the fishing fraternity. He would stop and help people with a flat tire, or spool up their reels or help them tie on baits after a day of fishing.

But because he wanted people to have so much fun and not have something like a knot or a bad hook ruin their day. Not because he thought he was smarter or better. He shared his best tricks with everyone because he wanted you to have as much fun fishing as he was. “We say people are big hearted but Aaron really was all heart when it came to everything. “Aaron was the biggest-hearted person I’ve met in the fishing industry,” Sealock said. Wired2fish Publisher Jason Sealock also cherishes the many hours spent in the boat with Martens over the years. I’ll forever remember those moments running down the lake with him, laughing and smiling together.” I was working with a good, pure-hearted guy. I never felt like I was working with one of the best bass fishermen to ever hold a fishing rod. He was such a sweet person and sincerely loved people, especially his family they were his absolute pride and joy. I have spent a lot of time in the boat with him over the years and all he ever wanted to talk about was my career, my happiness and my family’s wellbeing. “Everything Aaron said and did was sincere and had a very palpable innocence to it,” said Wired2fish Managing Editor Walker Smith. The Wired2fish team has nothing but positive things to say about our extensive time working with Martens.
