Please Be Thinking of Lane and Family

[Cigarlover 1]

For those who don't know. Lane and her husband were supposed to make it down to Fork but due to some very serious family health problems that came up they couldn't make it. Let's all send some prayers and positive thoughts their way. They could use them.

Lane and family, my wife and I are praying for you! Try to keep your heads up.

Lane's son and mother are both in the hospital on unrelated issues - both with life threatening illnesses.  Just a terrible coincidence that is very hard on them right now.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Praying does change things, and I'll be praying.

[Troutfisher]

It does, and I will pray as well.

Praying does change things, if it is God's will. (but lets not get this topic deleted)

I will keep them in prayer as well.

 Most folks need thoughts and prayers once in a while,sometimes it's more immediate. Hopeing they take a turn for the better...

                                                           As Ever,

Ok this will be an unusual post for me.  I dont know lane, however that has no bearing.  My prayers will be with him and his none the less.  When a person needs this it should be given whole heartedly.  Bucketmouth you are right.  Gods will.  He always knows whats best, even when we dont.  I lost a son who was just short of his 2nd birthday a couple years ago, it was heart wrenching, and I firmly believe prayers got me through.  In my career in the Military, I prayed more than most would realize, those prayers got me through.  God dosent always give us what we want, but he does do whats best, even if we dont see it.  Please dont delete this, it isnt a religious preeching or debate, it is simply my opinion and view, and is ment to comfort.  I firmly believe that as fisherman we have an unusual bond, its odd in a way how fisherman just seem to click moreso than most other hobbies/sports.

Thinking of you and your family Lane...

I just got an update from Lane,

It seems she is the ONLY one in her family that has remained healthy! About the time I posted this thread, Tony (her husband) had to have a surgical procedure to remove internal polyps from his colon. He had been in pain for several weeks. He is doing great now.

Tony's son has recovered from a serious viral infection in the small intestine. He responded to the various medications, and did not require surgery.

Her mother is still not doing well. She may have had a mini stroke. Her cardiologist has changed her medication to address the congestive heart failure, which is treatable but not curable. She has finally agreed to move down near Lane, but it's an enormous task finding a place, moving her, etc.  And, as you might imagine, it isn't helping her mother's spirit having to move away from friends and familiar places.  So this is a difficult time for Lane and her family.

On the bright side, Tony just completed a run of the NEW formula of Catch and Release. On top of the health issues they still have a business to run, and research is ongoing. The new Catch and Release

formula contains FDA approved disinfectants that are safe for the fish and humans. In fact both of the disinfectants kill the serious viruses like the new VHS that is quickly spreading, and the LMBV. The results from the new tranquilizer in the current Catch and Release formula have been amazing! The immune response in the fish has been outstanding. Also, the new formula removes ammonia from the livewell, so anglers do not need to flush their livewells every two to three hours. They have also increased the amount of chelators that remove heavy metals and toxins from the fishes system. Heavy metals like mercury levels in the fish continue to rise at an alarming rate. We have really polluted our waters, and these toxins are affecting growth and reproductive rates in the fish.

The new formula will not be available to the public until late summer, and it will be more expensive than the current formula. The increased cost should justified, since anglers will not have to flush the livewell as often or at all. Less product will be needed.

Lane wanted me to tell everyone, "We really appreciate the concern and prayers, it has been very rough! AND I REALLY MISS THE FORUM AND HAVE PLANS TO BE BACK BY MAY!"
