Here's how I see it. To see a child with a smile from ear to ear that came from something other than a video game,means more to me than anything. That's why I want to give jake some traps. I was asked a question by a fellow shanty member before we went up to vt. He asked "we are all serious pike fisherman who have our secret spots. Why are you willing to show us yours?" I get more enjoyment watching someone else catch fish than to catch them myself. Just to see the expression on flaggs face when he caught his pb made my trip worth every penny. To me that's what fishing is all about. Camerardery, and the ability to show or teach someone something new. By looking at jake in those pictures I feel he already has that in him. Keep it up buddy!!
