The resolution designates June 1 of each year as Robert Bob Popovics Day in New Jersey to honor the significant contributions of Robert Bob Popovics to his community and the fishing industry. Born in Trenton and a longtime resident of Seaside Park, Bob served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and was known for his generosity and community involvement, particularly through his operation of the Shady Rest restaurant in Bayville alongside his wife. He was also a prominent figure in the fishing community, recognized as an avid fly fisherman and master fly tyer, and he founded Pop Fleyes, a custom fly tying and educational company.

The resolution acknowledges Bob's groundbreaking fly designs and his role in fostering community engagement, which led to the establishment of the Atlantic Saltwater Flyrodders. In light of his numerous contributions, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing June 1 as Robert Bob Popovics Day, ensuring that his legacy is celebrated in New Jersey.
