The Father and Son were present and went through the
ceiling, when their name was called out.
I held the Drawing on a Saturday and was going fishing the following Saturday, this
was explained to the winners.
The following Saturday we all met at Walmart parking lot and proceeded to Lexington,
Tennessee for a fishing time that I would hope will always stick in the Father and Son’s minds for a long
time.
Walmart saw to making sure that the snacks and drinks were in the boat and we had the
best time that day.
I have since been called by the Father thanking me again for the trip.
I try and make a great effort to try every year to take at least two or three kids
fishing every summer.
It is my hope and wish that anyone with a Bass Boat would do the same. Just looking
at the joy in the kids’ eyes and knowing another new angler is now enjoying the sport is the only thanks that is
needed.
Oh, by the way I had that hip replaced and three weeks later broke the other one just
standing on my Driveway.
Took a year to get over all that and now, I am back at it.
I’m looking forward to taking some kids fishing this summer that have never been in a
Bass Boat.
It would be great to hear from everyone who reads this and join in on making a kid’s
dream come true by participating in Taking a Kid Fishing.
Also, Don’t forget about the senior citizens that would love to get back on the lake
just one more time.
Keep The Hook Wet!
