What a Great day........

A great day in many respects.....I say that mostly because of my oldest son Ben. I put the photo in of a bass Ben caught in 2007, the largest bass I personally have seen in person. It weighed over 10lbs. Some of my customers know him, and some know of his fishing prowess. Indeed, I am blessed for having two boys, Ben and Josh who love the outdoors and fishing and hunting too. Not only do they love it, but they are really into it and are good at it. Today, January 9th, is a special day for Ben for he got a front center photo of him wrestling on the front page of the Greensboro News & Record Sports Section. Its really neat because he is a 10th grader who is part of the new transitional Northern Guilford High School. Really neat because he regularly has to wrestle juniors and seniors and not only takes them to the limit but often beats them. We are so proud of him and applaud his courage and his desire to win! Under the excellent coaching of Jody Bullard (former Olympic wrestling qualifier who is the Northern Guilford Nighthawks coach) our hope is that he will get a wrestling scholarship. Coach Bullard has said that he's been coaching for 17 years and he thinks Ben is a natural and has all the tools and skills to do it. Ben's professional fishing career, also an aspiration of his, will have to wait a while.........and we think that's great! Congratulations Ben, we are proud of you.
