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 for his expertise as a fly fisherman and master fly tyer, and he founded Pop Fleyes, a custom fly tying and educational company.

The resolution emphasizes Bob's impact on both local and national levels, highlighting his groundbreaking fly designs and his role in establishing the Atlantic Saltwater Flyrodders. In recognition of his legacy, the resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation declaring June 1 as Robert Bob Popovics Day, ensuring that his contributions are remembered and celebrated each year.
