TexExp, thank you for putting up the pics and for mentioning Josh and everyone else that gave from their hearts. I hope others will share some pics as there were many taken by a lot of different people and Wally probably took more than anyone except Dave! It was a great day and a fun day but, plenty of emotions as well.
What a great TFF family we have here!
Also wanted to add what someone in the catfish section of the forum. He said the people over there don't have the same closeness we have here in the crappie section.
I've noticed this as well and having formerly been more in the bass section I know it's true. Just something about crappie guys set us apart for some reason in so many ways. Much more sharing and a sense of wanting to help others learn about the sport we love. I don't know why, I'm just thankful we have it!

Thanks Jigum for your input and excitement to share with a family that has more issues that most of us will ever have. It's always exciting to give from the heart... Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to bring the best out of us all.

Merry Christmas TFF and Nino family...

[quote][/quote]Hello All!! Just wanted to say THANK YOU again GUYS N GALS who took the time on a cold rainy SAT. when u could been home in bed SNUG AS A BUG N A RUG!! to support NINO & our family.. This is MOM_TERRI. I really enjoyed our time together. A great bunch of guys: OkieBob,Jigum & Wally(Mr. Crappie) kept me laughing all morning. Great since of humor which is much needed when the fish aren*t biting. LOL. I did more watching than I did fishing but had a great time especially seeing my son happy. Even tho he's learning the game of fishing he enjoyed himself. Fishing gives him something to do and keeps his mind occupied. DAD_Tory said thanks to everyone and if anyone wants pics send a message and he will get them to you. Thanks to Josh(BONEHEAD TACKLE) for the cool reels and tackle.For some reason I keep tryin to take all the pink and purple lures for myself because pink and purple are my 2 favorite colors. Has nothing to do with fishing!! Just being girlie! Thanks CROPE1 for the nice warm coat for Nino he really needed it. Thanks to TBOXFISH for driving 1hr 30min to show support. Really enjoyed talking with Belinda..Thanks to JJ-Drop it down Pull'em up! hope I got it right lol for allowing us to fish on barge. Thanks Dave(SHUT UP N FISH for video recording.. Thanks to BAD1 for his contribution to NINO.. He goin to take some of the money he received and buy toys for children with Cancer and take them to the hospital for X_Mas. AWESOME!!!! everyone who participated whether monetary, time, gifts, KIND WORDS all made this possible for him. I cant remember all names from that day so I"M thanking EVERYONE AS A WHOLE... ITS a gift to him that keeps on giving... the love I felt that day from everyone was really heartfelt.. That's y I was boo-whoing like a baby!Wanted to hang around longer but Ninos chest was bothering him really bad so had to get him home.. He took a nap and him,dad and Dave went back out fishing around 4pm with no luck.. Nino was excited to use his own new pole and try some of his many different lures he received that day... GOD BLESS U ALL!!!!

Will Continue to keep Nino and his family in my prayers! This by far is the true meaning of Christmas! May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with each and everyone. Merry Christmas!

And thanks a lot also Mr Dewey for being there for him also wish you could have made it but we will meet soon promise

There is no doubt about it. Looking forward to it!
