Thanks, Dave. Yep, pretty cool stuff. I keep meeting pastors who've never fished or hunted. Looks like I'll have a full plate this summer trying to get them out on the boat. I'm really enjoying this.

The last 2 days my 15 year old and I had the opportunity to take out some first timers.
Jack (12) went salmon fishing and crabbing for the first time. He’s the son of a Sr. Pastor, who’s shared a desire to learn how to become a solid fisherman.
And Levi (11) went salmon fishing and crabbing for the first time too. He’s the son of a Children’s Pastor.
Then, today, we switched gears and took out an Associate Pastor and his two little kids for their first time fishing.
What. A. Blast.
The 2 year old and 5 year old were thrilled when they opened their new tackle boxes filled with gear (donated by many HUNT-WA members), got their own fishing rods and reels, played with worms, and of course, landed their first fish.
The dad, explained how he hopes to learn more about fishing and give his kids more meaningful memories like today with each other.

This is a busy week. I'll be taking four separate trips hosting first-timers on three of them! :IBCOOL:
If anyone has more tackle or gear available, just let me know. I'll be busy filling up tackle boxes this week. On the docket, I'm taking out:
- Monday - a pastor's son and my son
- Wednesday - a ministry director and his two 9 year old twins (never fished before)
- Thursday - the same ministry director and his 14 year old daughter (never fished before)
- Friday - a ministry leader and wounded warrior that struggles with PTSD (never fished from a boat before)
It's gonna be a good week!

As the season begins to slow down, I'm reflecting on all the great moments getting pastors, ministry leaders, missionaries, and their children out on the water for first time fishing and catching.
What an adventure. The smiles. The laughter. The high-fives. The shock on a person's face when they catch their first salmon or when they see the sunrise on the horizon.
I'm closing out fishing with first-timers with some more photos of more adventures. Thank you to everyone who donated fishing rods, reels, tackle, tackle boxes, and money to buy licenses, etc. If you'd like to give and keep this going, please send me a DM.
Enjoy these photos with folks who enjoyed a day on the water with my son and I.
