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 in fly fishing and fly tying, and as the founder of Pop Fleyes, a custom fly tying and educational company.

The resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing this day, reflecting the importance of Bob's legacy and his impact on both local and national levels. Bob Popovics passed away on November 1, 2024, but his contributions to the fishing community and his service to the country are commemorated through this designation, ensuring that his memory and influence continue to be celebrated in New Jersey.
