Thread: Article: FINALLY! A BITE!

That, my friend, is exactly what fishing is all about. Sharing. Good job.

God bless you man.

That story made my day. What a wonderful thing to do for some young kid. You probably made his entire summer with your unselfish gift. I hope I meet up with you on the water one day to thank you in person!

great deed

You will be paid back many times over for such a good thing.

I know exactly how happy you made that young boy. As a child I was raised on an orphanage. I loved to fish. There was a nice lake there and a short hike to the Willamete River. I had no pole or tackle. One of the guys that worked there bought me a rod reel and some tackle. I was a tough little kid. I could stand all the pain in the world and never cried. That generous gift taught me many lessons and gave me a lifetime of enjoyment. Since I have returned the favor to many kids.nothing in the world could have made that boy happier. It also taught him a valuable lesson. Compassion

Thank you for sharing this story it brings back memories for this old man. God bless you and that young boy.

It's amazing what a rod and reel can do for a life. Great story.
