I had the pleasure to fish with both Glenn and Kerri at this year's roadtrip.

 

I have a pretty good pulse for who in the world are genuine good people, and these two fit the bill.

 

While fishing with Glenn, I was able to hear the story of BassResource and its beginnings. I also heard the beginnings, motives, and accomplishments of Tackle the Storm.

 

I was moved by the concept and thought behind it, to know what can be achieved in the heart of a child. Simply the smile it must bring knowing they have lost everything, but in some small way reach towards normalcy by fishing. A sport we all love and ourselves would hate to lose. 

 

As I told Glenn, the world is a cold, cruel, evil place and that's not going to change. 

 

But to know that I can somehow change that for a child for the price of a pack of plastics or crankbait......well I am all in.

 

so here is what I am going to do, I hope you may also follow suit.

 

For every "big un" I catch this year I will donate to Tackle the Storm,  enough to purchase a child a rod and reel.

 

Everyone's "big un" will be different, as everyone's water is different, so you decide. I have chosen 4#.

That is seriously an amazing idea!! Good on you.

I love this idea, I am 29 and it’s rare besides my one fishing buddy to find a guy between 20-30 fishing in my area, oddly enough I see kids on bikes with poles pond hopping!

 

I am a NCAA ice hockey official, I am off working side jobs until the season starts and would love to partake!
