The Most Inspirational Fisherman in the World

Proof that fishing is more than just a hobby.... when its in your blood, its a passion, and the lengths we'll go to follow it, and obstacles we'll overcome are testament to that...

This is very humbling.... thinkof all those days you b!tched and moaned because the weather was cr@ppy, or you lost a fish, or got an overwind, or couldn't go fishing cause you had to do something else... hell we've all moaned like that, I know I have.....Then check this guy out....

 

There has been alot of rubbish going on here throughout the site lately, involving all manner of things, most of it has nothing to do with fishing, but all to do with egos....

 

Maybe we shuld all watch this and just take a step back an realise just how lucky we all are to be able to do what we do, and stop taking every little opportunity to give your fellow angler grief about something... stop, think, step back....

 

Now go watch the video.

Amazing, makes me think twice before moaning about bad sea conditions or something silly like that! Appreciate and just enjoy being out there.

I have never heard of such a touching story before. It really makes you think about your life, and how much we complain about silly things sometimes.

I really hope with all my heart, that he one day makes the cut and gets to fish on the second day of a tour...

During the social we had last year, myself and Monty watched a guy with one leg and crutches rod and bait hobble all the way from the parking at Swartklip, to the right over the rocks on the right, and fish the next bay. I'd say at least a walk of 800 metres on soft sand. I remember moaning at Monty i'm tired of walking all the way back.

Thanks for sharing that Nepps.  A truly humbling experience.  Too often we bitch and moan about stuff which is very trivial and yet there are people out there who making the most of the little they have and succeeding at it.

Clay you are a hero.

That's truly inspirational, not only for us anglers but for anyone. this guy would exchange any of our problems/issues in a heartbeat for his.. Literally brought a lump to my throat.
