Likewise your post has brightened my day.

Always refreshing when we’re reminded there are truly amazing people around us.

Same type story - was fishing after midnight shift down on the South Amboy beach for stripers. Just fishing off the beach mid morning and I happen to get a good bite. Looked around and happened to see a women with a little boy walking along the water edge of the water and asked for some help. The women came over with her son and I gave him the pole to help me. I will always remember the boys face bringing it to the beach. Showed him how to release it and let it go for another day... I will always remember that catch and release . ........................

Good stuff right there! I’ll bet that boy remembers that to this day and will do the same for some others
