Well guys I'm off to help with My Veterans fishing tournament where I volunteer at the retirement home . Get you some pics of my guys fishing . They are 70 80 90 years old . I even taught fishing tackle classes for a year there every week end . Wish my team luck we want the big fish trophy.

Great gesture there Toad.I'm sure that you guys will get the trophy.
Here are our pics one pic is of the tackle making. We didn't get the big fish award . One of the guys that could do for his self managed to get a 5 lb cat . We got a 2.5 bass, the kicker was it was on a lure the guys made.

Those guys caught fish until some fell asleep in their chairs . Got the turtle on worms . The bass on minnows . one big ole crappie bout 14 '' . 5 or so lb catfish . More dang perch than I had time to count . It only lasted 2 hrs. During that time I saw guys that could not remember their family take a real from my hand look at it a little while and then out of the blue ZING they casted that sucker Like they were 20 again . Ya know what? I think for a moment in time they were . Today God blessed me .They are not just residents or patients . They are my friends.
