Sometimes we let our passions get the best of us. It did for me on May 8, 2011. I completed the fly fishing Man Slam.
Invented by my pastor and close friend Sam Hannon, the Man Slam can be yours if you fish on these special dates: your wife’s birthday, Valentine’s Day, your anniversary and Mother’s Day.
I was in church on Mother’s Day in 2011 listening to Hannon preach a great sermon. As everyone was filing out, Sam found my family in the middle of the crowd at Fellowship Bible Church in Rogers. He wondered aloud if I was going to fish that afternoon when I could wrap up the Man Slam.
