    I figured he was crying because he saw the price of a new bass boat.

    Awesome experience he will never forget. We take so much for granted. Thanks for sharing.

    Funny thing is, most of them don’t know why they’re wearing a jersey either.

    And yes, kudos to your son.

    Perhaps for Todd Hendrick, from the internet, I have pulled forth a useable avatar.

    Yeah it's a damn shame at your age (I guess is what your alluding to) you couldn't have just said AWESOME without having to make a smartass comment first.

    Going to give a recap of the weekend. First thanks to those of you that sent PM's asking if they could send the guy anything. I took him six combos that I don't use anymore, lures and line. Plus me friends that I know that were in the booths at the Classic loaded him up. Even a very nice rain suit, it was sweet. He left Sunday fired up. I feel for some of you that have never seen dreams come true. Just think if each one of us could make just one persons wish like that. My son is not well off, just the opposite. He just knew the guy wanted to go fishing and he took him. Every person needs to have a passion to help get away from the everyday struggles.
