A Message From Perry:
PEOPLE MAY NOT  REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID, ~BUT~THEY WILL ALWAYS  REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.

I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life than to give the families fighting catastrophic illness an escape from the medical day to day drama they are faced with by treating them to a day of fishing. While we are together on the water they seem to go to another place where their medical problems if even for just a short time leave them so that they can enjoy the great outdoors and they take in every second to the fullest. It was recently brought to my attention while on the water with a 48 year old Fire Chief who is battling terminal brain cancer that while he was on the water and when he caught his first fish, he felt like a child again. So this experience not only helps the smallest of children, it also has a huge impact on the biggest of kids. I have been doing these trips for the USSA now for about 4 years and I hope to continue for many more.

We're  conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. I have experienced many great moments that I can truly say changed my life. I have been with young men that were dying of cancer that were braver than any man could hope to be. I have lost many fishin' buddies over the past few years, but we will fish together again.  Like I tell my friends I Eat-Sleep- Fish with Angels
