Terry,....and all

Mike Smith is the TBF member that has been taken the High School Fishing Program under his wings!!  I talked to many about leading this up but the passion that Mike has towards this idea is unparalled.  If you or anyone would like to help Mike just let him know, I am sure he will need the help!  If anyone knows of a HS that would like to know more about this program get them with Mike!!
