RIP Capt. Billy, one of the nicest people that I ever met in the sport fish world ….you will be missed..
I had the privilege of 2 trips with Captain Bill, I sat and spoke to him one afternoon for about an hour listening to his stories, I could have sat there for 10 hours. He was a salty hardened veteran of the sea and I truly enjoyed getting my small share of his life. Anchors away my friend.
Will always miss Captain Billy Evans, one of the best and nicest Captains ever in Texas!
What a great honor to have known Capt. Bill……

Lucky to have spent a little time with Captain Bill in the 80’s aboard my Dad’s boat, the Topaz III. Everyone had great respect for Captain Bill Evans. He was just a great person, always very professional yet fun to be around, putting everyone at ease. A truly great man!!
Sorry I missed you Cousin.
Time gets away from all of us.
Say hello to Capt. (Uncle Van Anthony Koen for me)
