He was a nice guy when he worked for Champion.  I see nothing has changed.

Yes. Tournaments have nothing to do with it. Yes he took time out of the derby, but it comes down to being a human with a heart.

Can't say that I've ever known anyone that would ignore a situation like that and just keep fishing.   It's kinda like having an article published about you for shaking someones hand.  

Breaking News:.  Ketchup reaches out and shakes Wrench's hand.   What a wonderful gesture from a true American!

Maybe Wrench.

Could be that fishermen are just better humans than others, but if you take the water out of the equation, I’ve seen plenty of people completely ignore other humans in great need, including life or death situations to get to their job (that they most likely hate). Hell, I was almost rear ended a week ago because I slowed to pull off the road for an ambulance and fire truck.

Idk, it seemed cool to me, and more rare than it should be, but maybe that’s because I live in an area of entitled rich folk.

Everybody around my town pretty much hops into action anytime someone needs a hand.  The only thing people around here don't do that I wish they would...is pick up more trash.    Even truly good people seem to freely litter and toss trash around constantly.  

If somebody breaks down alongside the road, gets stuck in a mudhole, or a tree falls across the road.... before ya know it, it has turned into a tailgate party.

Just yesterday a culvert washed out on our road.  My wife and I grabbed a couple shovels and headed down there.  Within 15 minutes we had 3 other guys shoveling and a tractor on the way.  Then here comes a gal with a giant bag full of BBQ corn dogs and another guy heads over the hill to grab a case of beer and a diet Pepsi.   Heaven ain't got $#|t on Gravois Mills. 😀

Well you can't cuss, smoke, eat pork, or drink liquor there....so yes, technically I do.
