Not sure what to say?

Thankful for Monroe, his TV show taught me and my son how to Surf Fish..

Never missed his show...he was a great guy

Condolences to the family. As a kid living in his neighborhood across from Trads, in Jax, he was a rock star. Out the door was must see T.V. as they say nowadays. As one of the Greatest Generation he paved the ways for today´s Youtube sensations. See ya in the river Monroe.

YOU ARE A GREAT FISHERMAN AND GAVE US ALOT OF GUIDANCE, YOU WILL BE MISSED DEARLY. HOPE YOU CATCH SOME BIG ONES UP THERE, AND SAVE A FEW FOR ME.
SINCERELY,

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I moved to Jacksonville in 1986 and found the Out The Door show. If not for Monroe, my son and I probably would not know how to surf fish,WHAT A GREAT MAN AND SHOW!

When I first moved to Florida I enjoyed fishing and found the Out the Door with Monroe Campbell show. I use to try to see where he was fishing on TV and try to find those same spots myself. Monroe touched a lot of lives and will be greatly missed. Our prayers to the family.

Dear Scott,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your father, Brian just lost his Mother to cancer last weekend and Eddie Deal. Just keep all of the fun memories you and your dad shared close to your heart and keep on fishin' as he would like you to do. God Bless.

I grew up working at Channel 7 and Monroe was a great influence on me professionally and personally. I had the great pleasure of working with him in the studio and sometimes filming his fishing outings. Many of my fondest memories of my first decade in television revolve around Monroe. Men of his like are rare and he will be missed.

I wanted to let the family know that the people here in jax have been missing him since his show went off the air.As a kid growing up I never missed the show and learned alot from him he was truly a well known and respected man in this area. Sorry for your loss.If theres fishin in heaven we know hes got one on the line right now.
