Very inspirational- Must Watch!

fishin' fool · 03-18-08, 09:59 PM

A long while ago I saw this on ESPN's Bass saturdays, and recently found it on youtube. Watching this again really puts things into perspective for me and makes me greatful for what is given to me. Mr. Dyer is very inspirational to me and shows we really can do anything we set our minds to and the love and passion of fishing can not compete against any limitation! I encourage you all to watch, it may change our view on fishing and even life.

The bassinbandit and I went to the Classic in Pittsburg and met Clay. He is a very engaging person. He talked to us for 15 min. or so, signed autograghs, laugh, joked and cared on. Just a wonderful person.

seen it before but thank you for sharing it! now i feel selfish for getting disapointed if i don't finish well in a tourney.

That video was extremely awesome. I hope that guy wins the tournaments he wants to. The hardest worker I've ever seen. I saw him in a tourney on Lake Fork in 2007.

Wow. I sat through the whole video shaking my head in disbelief. My life is perfect. I will never complain about anything ever again. Man, I'd love to see him make the big leagues.

Truly Inspirational. Makes you really understand just how strong he is.

What an amazing story. It's hard to fathem how someone could overcome such adversity, and maintain the kind of zest for life like Clay has. He has shown all who have had the chance to experience his story that life can go on in adversity in leaps and bounds. It also teaches us to be grateful for what we have and to use the talents and gifts the good Lord has given us to the best we can. Our problems might seem overwhelming, untill we see just what one person like Clay can achieve despite the odds. God bless him.

Oh, my. I couldn't quit wiping my eyes. That guy has the heart of a LION! Makes me ashamed of some of the things I complain about. I pray he does well on tour.

Same way here. I remember when they played it on TV. It was tough when I saw it then too. God bless Clay.
