Ron Ussery Youth & Disabled Catfish Tournament
This was our first time being invited to a Hands of a Sportsman event. This was held in Rockwell, NC (about 2.5 hrs. away) so we got a hotel the night before. The event was held at the Ussery Catfishing Pond. It was a peaceful place with 3 ponds not far from one another. Rayden was able to ride his track chair all over the property with ease. We arrived early and were completely set up around 9am. We fished all day in scorching heat but didn't even get a bite! A couple of children were able to catch a fish, but not us. We learned later that day that there was a tournament held there the night before we arrived! They supplied hot dogs, chicken, drinks, etc. They even had some door prizes and a gun raffle. Rayden won a blow-up kayak back pack. He talked about it being 'the first boat he's ever won' all the way home! 🎣
