Off boat topic but I though a little public thanks is in order. Long story short, got a call from my mom that my dad was in incredible pain and suffering from something. They live in a small town and I wanted him out of the local hospital. I called
Matt Holcomb for a referral and all he said was get them to me.
He had the diagnosis and operated on dad within hours of them arriving at his hospital. He coordinated things in a great manner with others on staff and treated my parents like old friends.
I know you make beautiful rods, lures, food, drinks. But by all accounts, you are a hell of a doc as well.
Matt, I can't thank you enough and I hope I can affect lives in some small fashion relative to your calling-Tom Pattillo

We may disagree on topics from time to time and have different ways of doing things, but there ain't a red headed step child among the bunch.
Way to go Doc Matt.
Tommy Drake heading across the Lake to the west coast took the time to run down to the shop today and say hello.
That meant a lot to me.
