This is an awesome opportunity for someone to shine. I will set up Randy with baits and a rod to take home. I will also show up and send you guys off with snacks, lunch, water or what ever i can do to make this huge for Randy.
So what ever we have to do i am 200% behind helping to make this happen. One thing though is if is to happen this weekend i need to know before Thursday because of NW BASS this Saturday. After Sunday i am free. So if we can wait until next week were golden. i can show up anytime.

Well done to Kzoo, the little's, Brian bassguy, Jordan, Joanne, and everyone else who was instrumental in making this happen. I knew this community would make sure this day would become a success.
Just getting Randy out was epic....but to get him on some fish too is amazing!
Also Kudos to King 5 and the Seattle Times for covering a positive story in a time where negative press is everywhere.
A year and a half ago when I created this website, I never would have thought that it would have this kind of affect on someone's life. What Paul, Bryan, the Littles, and Dan Johnson did today has made every second of creating, maintaining and moderating this website worth it. I can't explain the feeling I have to play a small part in Randy, Joanne and their families lives during this difficult time for them. I have made a donation to the Chris Elliot Fund http://www.chriselliottfund.org/index.html on behalf of the website. I encourage alll of you to do the same.
Joanne, If there is anything else we can do for Randy, you, or your family let us know. Fishing or none fishing related. We have people from all different backgrounds and professions that I am sure would be willing to help you out.
What an inspirational week...what started as my husband, Tom, being disturbed that he read Joanne's post, to my 12 year old son, Logan responding directly to Joanne's plea, and the countless others who have come together in such a short time, I would like to thank you all. Paul Shen was beyond amazing, not only as a fishing guide, but as a very, very, patient participant in my calling him for numerous details to make this happen. He is truly the unspoken, quiet hero of this venture. Dan Johnson met us in a parking lot to provide gear, a fishing pole, cap, and t-shirt for Randy. And Brian, showed up today with additional equipment for the rest of Randy's family...which made Milea's day!! She is the 11 year old sister who caught numerous fish, thanks to Brian's efforts!! It goes to show, the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts...as Paul and I just talked about, let's keep the momentum going!!!! Think about how to make a difference...to help out, with little effort, collectively gather to make a difference...let me know your thoughts, Janice Hoshino (Logan Little's Mom and Tom Little's wife....) Last, thank you to Trisha Manning-Smith and her cameraman for a wonderful, sensitive clip on the King 5. She is also an inspiration!!
