Not only on the birth of your new fishing buddy... but on a life lesson that many don't learn for years and years to come from where you are in life at this moment.

You see, tournaments.... they come and go. There is always a competition to be found, but to be present at the blessed event of the birth of your child, your first at that, comes only one time. No matter how many children you have, you only get one shot at their birth.. and being there for your family is the the most mature thing a man can do.

I know of a fellow that worked with my brother-in-law. He missed his mother-in-law's funeral for a tournament. Now he misses his wife every day and night. OK, maybe they weren't that happy to begin with, and he may not really miss her, or maybe they were. We don't know. I just know I was told of his decision, and that in less than 6 months that she had left him.

You represent UL well, and more importantly you represent us men well also.

Thank you,

Tight lines and God Bless
