Jesse's trip to Dale Hollow

I had the pleasure of spending half a day on the lake with Jesse Kallembach from Indiana.He's battling leukemia and probably the toughest person I know.At 12 years old he has as much passion for Dale Hollow and fishing in general as the rest of us.Some people would give up facing the problems he faces but he's a fighter and has always had a great attitude.I first met Jesse last fall for a great day of fishing....[URL]http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/FishFinderGeneral/oct045.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/FishFinderGeneral/oct046.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/FishFinderGeneral/oct049.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/FishFinderGeneral/oct104.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/FishFinderGeneral/oct051.jpg[/URL] Here are a few videos from the last trip...

Dave On a down note,when we were out fishing,some jerk cleaned out Chris's bass rig in the parking lot,I know it wasn't a smalljawer but watch your stuff even at Horse Creek.

Good Stuff man!

What a fine looking young man. I pray God will help the youngster through this. His smile holding those big brown fish was priceless.

WAY to go for putting him on some good ones!

Outstanding....

Good job!! I actually know Chris.

Kudo's to you, PRICELESS!:D

What a great thing you did my hat is off to you. You never stand so straight when you stoop to help a child.

Thats great that he was able to catch all those fish. Good for you in helping him.
