If you wonder what NCKA is all about look no further than the A Hulls. An eclectic group sometimes criticised for their colorful language or gestures but at their heart is what NCKA is all about, giving back to others. To a person, they are among the finest people I have ever met and I know a lot of people. Pay It Forward was their idea and my favorite event of the year. It is a ton of work to organize and unlike other benefit tourneys like the Moyer, fishing is secondary to hanging out and feeling the NCKA love. So go give it up my brothers and sisters and buy some raffle tickets to support our brothers fighting cancer.

I leave you with this quote from Steve Jobs who also battled cancer.

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."

God bless the A Hulls!!! Thank You.
