Today was a day a long time coming. Graduated from NC State with my bachelors. I want to express my thanks for this website. Finding ncangler was one of the best things that happened to me in the past few years. Whenever things were tough or I faced adversity, I had friends on here to turn to. I never had to talk about my problems but I had a network of people to talk about fishing and to go fish with. There were dark times where fishing trips with friends on here really saved me and kept me going in the right direction. When other friends would let me down, I always had people to turn to on here.
A lot of you have made more of an impact on me than you can imagine, just that simple kindness of the fishing community of North Carolina is something I will always cherish. Even when I first joined getting messages from great people like Dbeam and NCpierman offering to go fish when I barely knew them, I knew this was a place for me. I've learned so much and like to think that I have given back to this community with my own knowledge as well. Many local ncanglers have become regular fishing buddies like gremlinsrus, spidey, and fishincary, and we have a great time out there. SteveF and Brickphil have been great down at the coast and even others like Big Dawg and abert that I haven't actually met I consider friends. And as always the Red X Anglers are all great people. This has been a place that I have met so many great people, a lot of which who I consider lifelong friends. I could mention enough names on here of people who have been influential to me that would have you reading for weeks.
Thank you to everybody who makes this site possible. It truly does make a difference beyond fishing itself. No matter where the next chapter of my life takes me, whether I am still in NC or not, I hope that I can continue to call this website home.
