Hubbard: 02/21/15- On a mission...

I've commented a lot on others posts but haven't posted much lately. Mainly because that work thing keeps interfering with my fishing! So here we go. Some of the Hubbard gang saw this on text already but for others it's new. Was debating whether or not to go out yesterday with the North wind and the post front conditions. About 3:00 the beautiful wife Kathy says, "You ought to go catch some fresh fish to go with the steak tonight." You should have seen her twisting my arm! Not! We live above Harbor Bay Marina so it's easy to go. But there was another reason. My brother Mark had called me and asked me to get a bag of fresh fish for a man with two kids and a wife that had just gotten laid off recently. They love fish. Well being a Christian I'm first and foremost about helping my fellow man. I stopped where we had been catching for past two weeks. The weather moved the fish out of there. Had a thought to try one of my winter spots hadn't checked in years. Within a minute of arriving and using the tapping stick on the boat they showed up! Water was 49 yesterday. Depth was 25 feet versus 20 feet last week. But as I'm sitting there yanking them in I raised my hand up and said, "Thank you Lord." When fish bite on days considered off days it's a blessing to catch them. But more importantly Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves so I figured he was multiplying the catch for this man's family. My brother came and got the fish and took it to the man. I got a text that he was so thankful for the kindness. It's such a simple thing to do to help someone. Plus the fish with the steak tasted great! All I know is this. God is good and this man will get a new job. Have people praying on it and my brother called Roy who is on here and Roy is checking some leads. Included a picture of some of the fish and also the size shad they are eating. Have used a down sized horizontal slab and fly all winter and it's still working. Blessings. Happy Fishing.

nice work! And great story man! Isn't it funny how things happen. There you were debating on fishing and that happens... cool stuff man, cool stuff.

Can you post the GPS coordinates for me?

Great work Frank!

A hungry fat boy will always find food!

You need to stop putting yourself down! It's not healthy brother! I am laughing so hard...

Good post Frank!

Moon Man strikes again. Great post Frank. There are food pantry's around town that serve and cook fresh food for families. Just a thought.

Nice work Frank!

That's the good ole Fishboy Frank that I/we know Nice report, you should post more Though Roy showed up from below while you were cleaning fish???

Was a super busy weekend here also. Bball season just ended. Had to run to the pets store three times and loaded 1200 gold fish for the fundraise kiddo fishing game yesterday and today and raised good money for our church. Met a few hundred happy angler kiddos lol

Thanks Gene! I'm a big believer in helping people up because one day we could be down...

Those kids will never forget that night! I remember things as a kid at Church to this day. The part about Roy showing up is this. I was wrapping up at the dock last night. I look up and here comes some large hairy creature running down the walkway towards me! I was about to dive under the boat tarp. He stopped and hissed and then retreated. Thank God. We all named him Roy!

That was what I meant. The hairy hissing creature.

Good stuff Frank!!

Nice haul. Good job.

Nice report Frank. Don't give out GPS points or 1000 boats will pay 20 dollars to launch and come catch all the fish --LOL--.

Glad you were able to help the guy and his family out. I remember your brother called you three weeks ago when we were out but we weren't keeping any fish. God Bless you Fishboy Frank

Awesome Post ... will say a prayer for you unemployed friend.

Thanks for all the kind words... It's funny how the Lord works. My Bible reading in my daily Bible this morning was this. His timing is impeccable!

Mark 6:41-43 "And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.

There NO coincidences Frank!!! This started my day w a smile!

What a Day! God is good! Thanks for sharing Frank! Prayers for the unemployed man and his family!

Your man good man Frank! Hope to see you out soon.

Thanks for sharing - a good example for your fellow anglers!

That's a really good story to hear Frank! Although, coming from you, not a surprising story.
God is good!

Well done frank, great fisherman doing great things.

Very nice!

Good job Frank. I think I've done work for you before(tv cover). Does your last name start with a n?

Yes! Two TV covers...Last name is Niezgoda. You also did the seats in my last boat. I've sent several people your way. You guys do great work. Spoke to one buddy today that is looking to get a custom boat cover made. He will be calling you all.

This is my "feel good" post today! Great job Frank!

And this is my feel good reply of the day Hope your doing well 1tex

Thank you! And thanks to everyone for responding. I'm not sure if he wants me to mention his name since he sent me a PM. But I got an offer for more fish for this family from a fellow TFF'er! That's what's it all about...

Well Hello Dr Whiplash! Doing good thanks! That little feller of yours sure has grown!
