Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Giving people the physical capabilities to be able to catch huge fish again that until now never thought they would be able to physically accomplish them again due to their injuries, illnesses, size, age etc. And also creating a new passion of fishing to the people that might not have had the opportunities to even try the sport of fishing due to disabilities or other hurtles life have given them.

How do you stay motivated?

Looking in the eyes of someone with amputated arms or legs and knowing they lost their passion for fishing when they lost limbs due to injury or illness. And inventing ways for these people to physically accomplish fighting a monster fish on their own strength. The biggest fish this year was over 700 pounds completely brought in by one of my inventions.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Buy the correct tools that are needed to make these parts out of stronger materials. And I'll be able to pay engineers the money to help with drawings and other smart people things i need help with. Also help pay for more patents to have manufacturing as much in the USA a possible.
