Fishing Trips for wounded heros
 
Hey guys,
A buddy of mine has been working with parties affiliated with Walter Reed Hospital and the "hunt for heroes" program for the past year. He, myself and another buddy hosted four American Heros this past weekend for a Carroll County waterfowl (goose/duck) hunt. The waterfowl did not cooperate on Saturday, but a day in a goose pit goes a long way to forging lasting friendships. We were back at it this afternoon and ended up with 5 geese and 5 mallards. Anyway, I couldn't help but do a little fishing talking while chasing birds and these guys are already getting excited about chasing some big stripers this spring. I am hoping that these guys spread the word and that by spring we have several more heros that want to chase big stripers. Depending upon the number, I may be in need of some assistance. If there is enough interest, I may attempt to plan a day (similar to wish-a-fish) for these true American Heros. If this preliminary plan comes to fruition, I will definately need some help. I will keep you posted.....................Mark

I'm in too, Mark - I'd love to take a couple of guys out for the day.

Count me in. The boat is a 20' CC or I"ll mate for someone if a larger boat is required.

I'm in...definitely keep us posted.

and no Baldzilla, that paper cut you got while flipping the pages of your "Playgirl" magazine does NOT qualify you as wounded.

Mark, I would be in too!

Mark; I'm willing to help out as well. I'd be willing to mate on a larger boat; or if it turns out to be a nice day, I can donate my boat. 5th (Marty)
