I've made it to the big time...
Nathan Skinner of Festive Water Paddlesports in Atlanta, Ga reached out to me and officially inviting me to join their Fishing team.. I couldn't be more proud. Just 3 years ago, my life was going nowhere, was addicted to drugs since 12 years old..(63 now), nothing excited me and I was miserable.. People avoided me, friends only wanted something from me..only to stab me in the back.. Every morning when I woke up, I was just mad at the world ... rehab didn't work, jail didn't work, nothing .. I discovered kayak bass fishing and my whole life turned around. I'm on my 3rd kayak now and am saving up for a nicer, newer one more suited for me.. Now, I've been clean 3 years.. and will never, EVER go back to being that person.. I've got too much to lose.. Sounds cheesy, but it's true.. Now, I have the best of friends, all of which are religious which is awesome for me.. I get excited and love waking up everyday.. Turns out I'm pretty good at Kayak bass angling.. my whole family is proud of me.(I've got 6 brothers & sisters plus I can't even count how many offspring of theirs..plus my 2 children and 4 grandchildren).. And just the fact that a huge name in kayak bass fishing like Nathan Skinner has noticed me and actually wants me on board with Festive Water Paddlesports makes me so proud and happy I tear up just telling someone about it.. it's my therapy, my rehab, my piece of mind, my joy, my retreat.. my PASSION...my everything.. My only regret us that I didn't discover this at an earlier age... Thanks for taking the time to read this.. and please check out this link...
