I wasn't going to ask, but I am totally stoked you want to be a part of this. Thank you again, amigo. On another note, when I first got into this rod building thing a couple of years ago, i bugged Scott unmercifully with questions. He was always gracious enough to take time to give me detailed answers to every dumb-arse question I could conceive. I would not have made the progress I have without his long distance assistance. And I hope , one of these days, to be able to post pics of a rod I've built that looks half as good as what he routinely puts out. To all the Warriors who will be receiving rods in the future: and I hope there will be many; if you get rod from me, know that you got the best I can do, and I know it will serve you well. If you get one from Scott, well, you will have received an heirloom. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajoe222 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I personally want to thank everyone involved in this. As I told Kent, it makes me proud to be part of a group that goes beyond a simple 'Thank You' when it comes to recognizing the efforts of those that have served by honoring them with a special gift. If you plan on doing this on a regular basis, please count me in for whatever you may need. All you have to do is ask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User .ghoti. Posted July 10, 2017 Super User Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thank you, all of you who have contributed. I hoped, this time around, we could make this an ongoing process. And, it's looking like that could very well happen. And, I want you all to know, that as long as contributions keep coming, I will keep donating my time and supplies. I will build as many rods as you all want to fund. What else is an old, retired professor good for anyway? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airman4754 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I just want to say Thank You to everyone involved with this. Kent told me I am the first one to receive one of these. What a work of art it is. It's almost too pretty to fish. I served 16 years in the Air Force and work for the Army as a civilian now. I've never had a day pass in my adult life that I wasn't serving in some capacity and it will probably stay that way until I retire for good. I will definitely be contributing to this project as well as a pay it forward. There is no way I would have the memories, friendships, education, and what I consider an amazing life without the military. Again, Thank You all so much. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User .ghoti. Posted July 30, 2017 Super User Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thanks Lonnie. I enjoy being able to contribute, in my own small way. I've been building rods for two years now, and I'm not that good at it. But, I am getting better; a little bit at a time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Watts Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 All of ya’ll are doing a great thing with this! I’m retired Army and am blessed to be in a position to start building rods at a buddy’s local bait & tackle shop here in Muldrow, Oklahoma. I want to get involved but I am ‘no s**t’ just starting, waiting on my first kit from Mudhole lol. I’ll keep up with ya’ll and hopefully I can contribute something to my brothers & sisters in arms.

Airman4754 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I finally caught a good fish on it. I never throw hard jerkbaits and only throw the soft ones on hot windy days. It finally lined up today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
