Hackettstown High Fishing Club Fisherman's Flea Market Fundraiser

[Broad Bill]

Great idea and great cause. We need more kids involved in fishing for a number of reasons, not just fishing itself even if that is the primary focus. It teaches so many valuable life lessons, respect for the outdoors, conservation, social connection and development, facing challenges, perseverance, enjoying time with family and friends and maybe the most important fishing has been known to have very positive impacts on mental health and stress reduction which in the world we live in today God only knows is desperately needed especially for our children. Every school should undertake the same initiative you have, congratulations on doing something other than just talking about it.

Thanks so much for the kind words Broad, it's greatly appreciated. You really hit the nail on the head. It's a cause that's near and dear to my heart especially in this tech laden age. The amount of support that we have received from so many people, groups, companies, etc. has been incredible. It makes me proud to be a part of a sport that really does care about the younger participants and impact they will have upon the world around them.
