Hear ya Dan! I thought all you retired guys could go out in the woods on demand and come out of the woods for special engagements. I look at it this way, your trophy buck heard your plans and felt safer on the water! Surprise him, show up for the tournament. Hope to see you on Saturday, TX trophies came in today and they are beautiful, awesome TX long sleeve shirts w/ your entry and surprise-surprise on the captain's bags!!

In our first year, our volunteer staff has managed to introduce 150+ kids and family members to the great sport of fishing. We now have chapters in South Florida, the Florida Keys and Atlanta.
The money raised this weekend will help fund the 2011 schedule for the Atlanta chapter. We have three(3) events planned next year and they each one cost money. Keep in mind, our events are for the family unit and we do NOT charge the family's anything to attend our events. There are no salaries for what we do. All the money raised goes directly back to funding any future events.
Have a look at the website www.getkidsfishing.org and contact me with any questions. Thanks!

This past June we partners with the Atlanta Juvenal Diabetes Research Foundations and had 30 of their kids fishing for striper on Lake Lanier. In that event, every child caught a fish, 24 caught striper, 12 caught their first fish ever and I'm proud to say the local striper fishermen showed up with 24 boats. This year we will be partnering with three other causes; Gwinnett County Fire and Police, Boys and Girls Club of Atlanta & Hall county and United Way of Atlanta. Looks like a fun year if you can find the time to volunteer.
Hope to talk with you more about it on Saturday.

Yes when did I retire!!! Corey alot of us participated in this event, Dave just sent me a picture that someone took at the event. I think all of us got more out of it then the kids did. Dave I really wish I could be there this weekend, but will be in the woods, but I will make the next one I promise.

Thanks to everyone and congratulations to the winners of the 2010 GKF² Fall Striper Benefit!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you for your support and help in making Saturday's TX / fund raiser a great success.

Not only did we get some great kids out fishing, enjoy some good fellowship and preserve the striper population but we also managed to raise some money for what we do best...Get Kids Fishing!

So, a warm hearted “Thank You” goes out to each one of you for participating! I hope next years event will be as successful as this one!
