sorry about the condition there dave , but i am proud of you for continuing with the fishing experience by educating others . this is a task that has lacked in a few years but is now making a great comback thru the efforts of sportsmen like yourself .
for the longest time i have heard television sportsmen say things like " if i can't fish / hunt , just shoot me and get it over with " . wrong attitude these guys were preaching to our present day sportsmen .
our new message that should be sent out is that the body might not be able , but the mind is willing to teach ! hopefully if we get this message out others will follow in your footsteps . teach true sportsmenship and we will build better communities , better leaders , and better tomorrows for everyone . as more people start viewing sportspeople as being honest , ethical , and full of integrity , groups like peta will no longer pose a threat to us . as people start seeing whole famileys out there fishing , they to will say , that could be us , lets try it .
we teach , we set examples , we make a better world . you have taken up the toarch of knowledge so that others may see the light . we here thank you . keep up the good work , it does not go un-noticed by your friends or your students , they will follow the example you set for generations to come . i am truley proud of your efforts . your pal lonehunter
