Super User MN Fisher Posted September 19, 2019 Super User Posted September 19, 2019 I had to put this out there. A couple very generous members here have gifted me with so much. Earlier in the year it was the President 25, loaded with 4# Yo-Zuri Hybrid..you know who you are, I've thanked you privately...you can go public if you wish. Today I received a 'care package' from another member loaded with baits, plastics and terminal tackle. He's increased my total tackle by about 25% as well as giving me some lures that I had no equivalents of - couple squarebills, couple small swimbaits and some poppers..again, thanks done in private, go public at your discretion. A third member gifted me 4 fishing shirts - 1 Columbia and 3 HUK long-sleeve 'T's... you'll see me wearing them in my pictures. Another who shall remain anonymous unless they desire to 'out' them-self. The generosity of members here staggers me and I just had to give this shout-out to publicly acknowledge them. 20 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted September 19, 2019 Global Moderator Posted September 19, 2019 Awesome!! Can't wait to see the results! I firmly believe there's still more good than bad out there, it just doesn't sell on the news 6 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted September 19, 2019 Author Super User Posted September 19, 2019 I'm sure I don't need to post what the Pres-25 nor the shirts look like. But here's one of the 'care package' contents. 5 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted September 19, 2019 Author Super User Posted September 19, 2019 Just now, MAN said: What is the background story? Three of them 1) Made a joking, side comment about 'taking it off your hands' when a member was complaining about his Pres-25 not fitting the rod he'd picked. Some discussion via PM, and he sent it to me. 2) Offered to take 1 (ONE) of the extra shirts a member had - he had dozens and was offering them up - met up, and he handed me 4 3) Out of the blue, a member sent via PM - 'I'm cleaning out some of my tackle "overflow" and I got some good stuff that I think you'll like. FREE of course.' - gave him my address, he shipped me the pictured 'pile'. So no begging, no whining...just a side comment for the reel, an offer for the shirt, and a surprise for the tackle. There are members here who are totally awesome. 4 Quote

I'm addicted to the YT videos where cops break their side windows and pull them out of their cars. The one where the K9 jumped in is my fav by far.

Found Murphy's in a pub in Cork when we pulled in there in the Navy, green eyes, jet black hair and alabaster skin lasses to boot. sigh... Quote
