Please help 12 yr old Evan Brunner

7-6-2010
My friends, I am asking those of you who will to please help a 12 year old named Evan Brunner. Please read the email he sent me this morning. I am sending him a baker's dozen for free just to encourage him. Those who want to help I am asking you just send him 2 or 3 jigs to encourage him in crappie fishing. Here is his email to me.

"Hello
Recently I have been really getting into crappie fishing. Im trying to collect a good selection of jigs. I have one that really caught my eye, in the picture bellow.(Lawless) If it means anything I'm 12 and my father is in the military so I really don't have that much money. Any tips or jigs you could sugest.

Thanks for helping a soldiers family. My address is 1800 Sacramento terrace, Plano, Texas, 75075.Looking forward to catching some crappies."

Thanks
Evan

Thank you everyone. Who knows we may have just inspired the 60th president of the United States. Anyway I figured if a 12 year old had the vision and courage to email me because he had seen a photo of one of my jigs then the very least I could do is bless him with a few free jigs. Those of you who helped, I greatly apreciate it. I do not know this young man and never heard of him until this morning. I was just touched by his email. Thank you again.

The bible says it all in Matthew 7:7 and I believe that sometimes we have not because we ask not. Thank you for blessing this young fisherman.

Count me in to Ship! No better mission than helping young kids down the right path! And if that path is fishing, that's even better yet!
I'll look and see if I have a tackle box to send my jigs in.

I've been looking for something to do with the Wabbit jigs I've been playing with. That would be a good investment, pointing a 12 year old in the right direction. Be in the mail tomorrow.

We have a young man on another forum that started out kind of like this. As he got older a member even donated a boat and the guys on the forum rigged it up for him. Turns out he's becoming a force to be reckoned with on crappie fishing.

Count me in, I'll put some together and get them in the mail. Thanks for sharing this with us, Ship.

That 12 year old named Evan in Plano Tx will be the one smiling thanks to all the great jig tiers here on c.com. As I said his email touched me and I wanted to let my friends know there was a 12 year old out there making a good choice to get involved with crappie fishing instead of doing bad. Now he is "Hooked on fishing.". I hope one day he will remember this and help someone else.
