This is Tanner. He was minding his own business when I happened to pass him on the Bow River. He was chucking spoons and was not getting much trout action!
I asked him if he ever fished with crank-baits before?? He said “no not really”. I asked him if he wanted to use some of my lures to try, which he happily replied “sure sounds amazing”.
I gladly gave him a Dreamsicle to try first. He was like “you sure man, really”. I’m VERY sure and I took the time to explain the techniques of the retrieve and even tied his hook up for him, showing him my favorite knot!
Was not long after he sent that lure down into the river he struck gold. Shortly after his gear failed on a cast and the lure was sent sailing across the river with no line attached
Help yourself to more and he gladly tied up another Dreamsicle !! He then insisted he give me 15.00 for the lure, and ran to his truck to get the cashola while I stayed in the spot we had !!
Super wicked young man and was an honor and pleasure to help him out.
I never wanted any money for the lures, I just wanted him to catch some fish. “Helping others is the highlight of our lives”
There is NEVER a fee for being kind
