This picture is everything.

2014 on the Caney Fork River: the 3 founders of Fish With a Hero. That’s Larry on the left, with Bill Coyne and Tommy Hogan. Larry was Army. Bill and Tommy were Navy, and they built up Project Healing Waters across Middle TN.

They met at a PHW event in Bristol back in 2013. Bill & Tommy are gone but not forgotten. Tight lines forever.

Their legacy is in every vet we get on the water. Miss you, brothers.

This long weekend, our veterans traded shore for the water in Everglades National Park. From kayaks and fly rods came stories, laughs, and a solid catch of snook and tarpon. Days like this are what it’s all about.

Fabulous fishing trips today with the Women Veteran Warriors! Two charter boats and six fishing kayaks took to the water and brought in snook, redfish, snapper, and a VERY LARGE stingray. Huge thanks to these heroes for an unforgettable day on the Gulf. We’re honored to share the water with you!
