This morning Mrs. 12poundbass was scrolling through the local Facebook page and saw the high school bass fishing team was having a car wash to raise funds. I didn’t know until last year our high school had a bass fishing team. 
 

I’ve had a few on here pay it forward to me by either cutting me deals on lures and one just asked for my address and a few days later a box full of jigs showed up. Feeling obligated to try them I did and it’s become one of my favorite presentations. 
 

I decided it was my turn to pay it forward. I went downstairs and began digging through all my lures and quickly filled a small box and threw in a few spools of line as well.

 

On our way home we swung by, donated money, got the blazer washed, and I gave them my box of lures. To say they were excited and appreciative is an understatement. One of the adults went over to I'm assuming is the ‘coach’ pointed to me and he came over shook my hand and thanked me about 5 times! We sat and talked bass fishing for a bit and I of course told him about all of us. 
 

I was glad I’m fortunate enough to have accumulated enough lures over the years that I could pay it forward. If you have a local high school bass club/team I highly recommend donating some lures and watching their faces light up!

Great move!  Thanks for sharing!

Really nice gesture ?.

 

Last weekend the wife and I ate at our favorite Italian restaurant and talked to several people we knew as we made our way to our table.

Come to find out, someone picked up our tab.

Wife said " let's pay it forward to the very good waitress "

She actually followed us outside thanking us. 

 

Awesome post! Sadly we do not have that around here or I would love to donate. 

12poundbass, nice job!

 

Keep planting those seeds. That’s awesome!!!!!!!

Excellent ?

I love stories like this. I'm getting another canoe today. It's an Old Town two-person canoe. It'll be free, a gift from a dog park pal. I'll use the gift to gift others, as I can now take people fishing with me. Goodness should keep giving. 

That's better than a cup of coffee to start the day.  What bass fishing is all about.  Making memories and bringing joy to life.

Good on you 12poundbass. The bass gods will be happy with you!!  Maybe have to change your name to 13pound Bass soon!!

If I have to change my name to 13poundbass I’ll be the new Michigan State record holder by a pound and that would last for quite a while. ?
