SRQbass Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I am accepting this challenge, even though I'm having a hard time finding the money to spare on a pack of softbaits right now. My scale is broken, but if something looks 4+ by eyeballing it I am donating. 2 Quote
carpflyguy Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I don't have a ton of spare $$$ laying around to give away, but for a good cause like this I think I can hop on board. I do a lot of trophy bass fishing (don't mess around with those small ones- big live bait and swimbaits for me ), so I'll give $15 for every 6 pounder. Typically thats anywhere from 3 to 15 fish. We'll see what the year holds! 2 Quote
Fishinthefish Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Due to my excessive fishing I'm going to definitely do this. Anything over five pounds has got me throwin down some cash. 3 Quote
TheKeeG Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I'm in on this, just started doing tournaments this year. For the remainder of this season(they are small 2 man team tourneys) all of my half of the winnings will be contributed to this awesome cause! Hopefully my partner and I can do some good!! 1 Quote
smr_hga Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Down here in florida there is an organization that holds events for kids fishing. They had one in March where they gave all kids attending a free rod and reel. They even have a kids only offshore fishing trip on the 27th. They are called the Halifax Sports Fishing Club or HSFC if you want to check them out. Quote
hardstripe Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 This is awesome! What an excellent idea, I'll have to follow your example. Challenge accepted! Quote
ReelCali510 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Great post, even greater purpose. Im in Quote
kash1 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 If this is an ongoing thing I would like to get into it this summer while I'm on vacation up in Canada. I will only be fishing Smallmouth while I'm on this lake and would like to donate $10 for every Smallmouth over 2 1/2 lbs up to a $300 limit. Have never caught a 2 1/2lber on the lake.......They start at 3 1/2lb !!   30 fish that size can be 1 day of fishing up there. Who to and where to do I send the money? 1 Quote
LittlePineyAngler Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I'd love to help out. Im not able to view the website with info at the moment. Great idea guys. 1 Quote

capjohnson.mike Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Wow guys. This is a great idea! I'm in, incredible way to help out. 1 Quote
primetime Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Great Post, I need to look into this project and figure out how to donate. I have a large amount of Plastics I will not be selling and all are very good baits that are perfect for Kids. I remember how much fun it was when I was young to pick out my own soft plastics and colors so you have your own tackle box. I wasn't sure what to do with most of it since I don't want to pay storage and you can't keep them in your place due to smell, but this is a good idea. I have witnessed the power fishing can have on the right kid. Some do not have interest but every so often a neighborhood kid will show an interest, and once they get that fever, they love it, and a few kids in my neighborhood have become quite skilled and I see a few of them at the ponds from first light until dark. Fishing is one of the most healthy hobbies you can have. It is rare you meet another angler who is not a nice person. Not that you have to get along with everybody, but the large majority of fisherman that I encounter are good people who all have the same "Bug" We have. I would love to donate. Quote
MikeWright Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 What about the kids in the ghetto? If I offend anyone I'm sorry, but I feel as if people are here for face value. Take a step outside, and if you are on your acres of land or nice drive way...go a couple miles to that other side of town and see what's really going on. "Lil James" tried selling me a bag of herb just last week. If anybody really wants to help the kids, get informed, learn something, and help the kids that really need it. I know a handful of children that will take a 2 piece wing and taters over a pole everyday. Sorry just my 2 cents. I know this is positive. Just seeing a lot of guys trying to 1 up another on donations. If anything, donate your time and see what really is going on. I guess that's the difference between someone who owns a boat and someone who fishes from the shore 2 Quote
MikeWright Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 And the guys wondering on "how to donate", just donate, go to your local soup kitchen, feed my sheep, or hell go to any school and find the kid that doesn't have pencils for class...help them out....they're who needs it. Not saying what the kids yall helped weren't going through a terrible time. But at the same time it happens everyday, to everyone, and anybody....the opportunity to help has been around all the time, now all of a sudden everyone wants to jump on this wagon? Not a bad wagon to jump on...just saying there's a couple wagons that have been plowing the field for awhole...don't help out just because your friends are. Help out because you genuinely know that you can help a young person through a struggle. I'm about to catch so much heat...probably kicked out of here for saying all that. But if your heart is true. Then it's always been true. Keep the face value away from it and really help out. Point is, the struggle for the kids is REEL. Get out there and really help. BTW,  if anyone bashes me for not helping/beine there, you can come to Feed My Sheep every weekend for a meal from my family. I'm sure they're tired of my chili anyways. 1 Quote
AnglingNvirginia Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I'll do that! Every 5+ lbers I catch I'll donate! An I'll donate 100$ every citation fish I catch, here in Virginia! Love the idea and thoughts of this! Ima print this out and hand it around to our club! Quote
1simplemann Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I just recently read an old blog of db's about himself and K-Pink. It made me think about a few things. It had to do with the 1st time they met at Lake Champlain. At the very end db witnessed a losing Elite angler who was packing up early because he didn't make the cut. The angler was obviously down and in a hurry to just get out of there. Anyway, in the midst of this a father with a young son approached for an autograph. The angler stopped what he was doing and talked to them. Before they left, the angler reached up under his boat cover and gave the young boy a rod and reel combo. To put a rod in the hands of a child can be an amazing thing. This act of kindness made me think of myself and back to when I got my 1st combo. (Zebco spincaster) It had such an affect and hooked me for life. It was different times back then and I was allowed to go down to the dock by myself. I fished every chance I got! Some of my fondest moments in life are of me fishing on that dock and if I could possibly return that gift to a child less fortunate than myself then I say I'm all in.  $5 for any smallmouth over 4lbs brought into my boat this summer.  This includes anyone else who may be fishing with. I will make certain they understand the rules. Quote
Beckie Gaskill Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Such an awesome idea! Â I'll go with 4# myself. I've heard a lot about Tackle the Storm and I think it's a great program. 1 Quote

Not sure of how BR got started and I'm relatively new here but since I found the site I've been on here literally every day and have met some of the most helpful and informative people, and had the pleasure of meeting up in person with several of them. Big thanks to Glenn, the moderators and sponsors behind bassresource. Quote
