Unbelievable! From WWIA to the Host, John Moline to my fellow vets. I cannot thank you enough. Corrina was amazing, booking flights. Corbin is very passionate and made the entire trip more enjoyable, he did an amazing job keeping us informed and connecting dots. I feel 100% rejuvenated and feel like a new man. To WWIA, John and my new vet friends, I say thank you!

An amazing experience sharing, laughing, bickering among brothers. From the first week we all felt like we knew each other. This is by far the best experience I have had.

I want to thank WWIA and Napier Hunt Club for an amazing time. I came here to catch catfish but I am leaving here with new friends and a reset. The people at Napier Hnt Club are the salt of the earth people who are selfless. I left a better person with a lot of fun memories to share with others back home. Thank you for everything you guys do.

Thank you very much for hosting us and taking us out fishing. This is a wonderful place and the members, Hosts and guides were outstanding and very knowledgeable. I am very honored to be invited and know programs like WWIA are doing great things. I had a great time fishing and can’t wait to try what I learned here, elsewhere. Great job to all! Thank you very much.

What an amazing experience! The Hosts Ed, Laurie and Trent were just awesome. I’ve had the most incredible experience bow hunting turkey and learning to flyfish. The guides were some of the best individuals I’ve ever encountered. We were showered with love and gratitude. This will be a hunt I will never forget.

First off, I want to thank the personnel of WWIA for this opportunity to enjoy such an adventurous heartfelt hunt. This trip was an outstanding and down home trip. Ed, Laurie, Trent and the guides Josh and Zeb are the most dedicated and loving people. We were treated like their own family. This community is amazing. We truly enjoyed the downtime from our busy lives. Ed and Laurie’s property is relaxing, peaceful and simply beautiful. I definitely had a wonderful time with many laughs and sentimental moments. This is a hunt to remember and share with my family. Thank you again for an incredible trip.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for getting me on the OH Freemasons Lake Erie Walleye Fishing trip. I had an outstanding time with everyone involved. It was truly something special. It’s the first time in recent memory that I’ve been able to truly disconnect, bond with people who have experienced similar things, and be part of a group that made me feel welcomed from the very first minute. I never realized how much I needed a weekend like this until I was in it, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity. One of the things that stood out most to me was how cool it was to experience the generational differences among the group. Having a Vietnam veteran, two gentlemen who served in the 90s, and several of us from the GWOT generation really made for some great conversations and unique connections. Thank you and WWIA for everything, for the support, the coordination, and for the environment the hosts and guides created. It was meaningful in a way that’s hard to put into words and will stay with me for a long time.

This was my first fishing trip for Walleye and in the Great Lakes and it was great. I have been invited for the last three years and finally got a chance to come and I am so glad I did. I would like to thank everyone who made it possible for me to come here and experience this event. You don’t leave hungry, great location, great people, and a great community. This was my first trip with WWIA and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the memories, the hospitality and the friendships made in this place.

What a great fishing trip made possible by WWIA. We slammed the walleye, got our limit both days. We enjoyed seeing a warehouse of Buick’s, that we had time for. Mark and Jordan were fantastic guides. Not going to forget Virgil, he did an outstanding job. All of the Hosts went out of their way to please. Certainly, an unforgettable experience.

This was an outstanding event with so many great and kind people. Ihave been on a handful of events in the past with other organizations. This was my first event with WWIA and I have to say it was the most welcoming and relaxing environment. Many connections and memories were made. All the Hosts and Boat Captains were amazing people. Thank you all for the outstanding time and for the chance to actually relax and unplug for the weekend.

I have had the privilege of co-hosting numerous WWIA hunting events in South Alabama and decided this year that I wanted to include a fyfishing trip in support of WWIA and their great organization. First off, I want to thank Corrina for helping us through the process of getting the trip on the calendar. She is a gem and has kept all the hunts and now flyfishing trip organized and stress free. Our WWIA Guide, Greg Brazinsky is one of the best I have been with over the years. He is professional, caring, organized and funny. Greg and I couldn’t have asked for a better Guide for our Inaugural event. Walter and John, our Heroes were two of the finest men I have had the pleasure of spending time with. Since I started supporting WWIA in 2017, I can’t remember a group of Heroes that got along and had more fun and laughs together. Hell, I haven’t laughed that hard in a long while. Greg and I are already getting the dates together for next year. I also wanted to thank Pat Stone (fishing guide) and Pappaw Bob Light owner of Pappaw’s Fishing Cabins. Again, great organization with great people supporting a great cause. Thank you for letting us be a small part of it.
