I just want to thank both of these guys publicly. Dons a true friend; he seemed more upset about my rods being stolen than I did. Don went out of his way to help and his efforts resulted in an Okuma setup being sent to me!! Don told Mark Rogers from Okuma about my situation, and out of compassion and kindness Mark decided to send me an Okuma setup. Ive never met Mark; to help a stranger like he did is a clear indication of the type of person he is. One of the stolen rods was on Okuma, so Im stoked to be able to get one back to fish with. The setup will get me back on the water!!

Thanks again guys, I really do apprciate what both of you did for me :7

I was just being a friend. Mark did the rest.;-)
It is Awesome, Mark is truely a great guy. Enjoy Steve. I want a pic of the first fish on the new rig. Maybe we can do a trip and then I will be there.

Don. ;-)

Nothing like fishing!

That's great news! THIS is exactly what boards like Calfishing and trophybassonly USED to be about! Its refreshing to see that at least a little of the comradre that this sect of fishing used to be about is still intact. Mark Rogers, I don't know you from anybody but I've got to say that I've seen enough to know that you're a class act, thanks for taking care of a friend.

Hey Matt...AMEN!


Josh D.

urban- so glad to hear that! Very cool of Don and Mark! I posted on the other thread- I feel terrible about this as I am from Oregon- I hope you guys still feel welcome, here. It's great that you are back on the water, but you have lot's still to replace- please let me throw 20.00 in the hat! Give me an addy to send it to. Dave

Mark and Okuma have been tremendous supporters of the site over the past few years and all I can say is WOW!

Hey Dave, shoot me a private e-mail. For some reason I cant send pm's on my friends pc.

Nah, I still feel welcome in Oregon. Ive been going there for years and will continue to do so. Ill just make sure to be a little more cautious.

Just unreal. It doesn't get much more generous than that.
