Per his post on Facebook:

“It’s sad that so many of my friends and family have had to deal with Cancer during their life time. Now it’s my turn. Kidney surgery scheduled for 7:30 am tomorrow. Doctors say that they found it early so everything looks good. Should be back fishing in about 4 weeks ðŸ™ðŸ™. Please say a prayer for all those who have had or are going through cancer ðŸ™ðŸ™ #cancersucks
