as far as a day of fishing goes, i'm not sure it gets much better with this. Went out with Project Healing Waters today (thanks for the heads up dibs).
I spent most of my morning teaching Jim, a war veteran with a degenerative disease that has left him blind, how to fish. I was pretty f'ing nervous to say the least but it all worked out. He got his cast down and landed around 10 fish. Here he is with his helper dog pulling in another healthy rainbow.
And this is Jeff. We didn't exactly keep track but Jeff must have caught around 40 fish today. He was as excited for number 40 as he was for number 1, he was the last vet off the lake and if it was up to him I think he would've stayed out there all night. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone get so pumped on catching fish, it was really fun to watch.
