Summer is coming to an end

Next week we will be wrapping up our Let's Go Fishing With Seniors/youth summer programs, and it has been another memorable summer. With over 100 trips completed and over 1000 individuals getting out on the water this summer we continue to grow.

I have to admit volunteering with this program has been the best thing I have done in my life. Life seems to be so much fuller when you are giving to others with nothing expected in return. To see young kids getting out for their first time and knowing they are hooked on fishing is absolutely amazing. Or to take a 92 year old individual out fishing for possibly their last time, or a disabled vet who has given so much for his country leaves me speechless.

I met an individual a boat ramp this year and while cranking in my boat I said I am getting too old for this, his answer "you are only too old when you quit breathing". You know he is right.

Highlight of my summer was this 23 1/2" walleye on a $10 zebco rod and reel we use for the seniors.
