Leave a Legacy Fish 50 Trophy Waters in 50 States in 50 Days www.fish5050.com

Our Mission: On June 13th, 2009 my son Taylor (age 17) and I will embark on a nationwide quest, a quest to Fish 50 Trophy Waters in 50 States in 50 Days. Our journey will span 15,000 miles by land, 6,000 miles by air (Alaska and Hawaii), cover 500 miles by water, with no shortcuts. www.fish5050.com /

Our Cause: Our hope is that our adventure, our quest, will inspire fathers and sons across the nation to realize their dreams for adventure and connect once again. To find and live out that adventure in their lives they so desperately desire and need. To realize that no matter where you live there is a pond, river, lake, or ocean – teeming with fish – waiting to be explored – to build a lasting memory – to rekindle that long lost relationship – to Leave a Legacy.

Ever since I was a small boy I’ve dreamed of adventure; desiring to seek after something that seemed bigger than life. If you’re like me, adventures such as climbing Mount Everest or running the Boston Marathon seem a bit beyond reality. I’m just an average father; what could my adventure be?

What’s so special about a father and son adventure? My son Taylor has been my fishing buddy since he was a small boy. We’ve experienced some incredible fishing trips together. Realizing that with college on the horizon we see one last chance at a truly epic adventure together – to seize the moment. Where the fish story of all fish stories, between a father and son, can be lived out and told.

When I was a child, I longed to ride along with my dad no matter where he was going, and I jumped at every chance to go fishing with him. In fact, from my earliest memories, fishing has always been my passion. For many of us, fishing was the one true bond we had with our fathers, where we finally felt connected, where our father’s legacy lives on. The romance of those days is a distant memory for most people. Fathers are caught up in the rat race of life with long commutes, constant emails, and never ending work weeks while our children sit at home trying to fill the voids by immersing themselves in their world of Xbox, iPOD, and Cable TV. With all of society’s advancements many fathers and sons have lost their common bond
- they’ve lost their desire for adventure.

The Media: The project will have significant U.S. media attention through local, state, and national magazines, newspapers, web, television, radio, and upon completion of our journey a book.
