    Tom, thank you for all you have shared with all of us over the years. The rod reviews, the insights, the beautiful places you fish. Thank you for allowing us to join you. No one knows what the future holds, but I do know you can't keep a good man down, and you, sir, are a good man. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

    Thank you for the extra life your videos have given me.. in 2013 I hit rock bottom. Doctors said to get my affairs in order.. gone through many near death experiences and bed ridden to wheel chair to cane. It was fishing that kept me going through the tough bits. Even have a Tenkara rod that I try to use.. still can't walk enough to get into the streams but I got to walk through you and that silly camera on your head. Best wishes to you. Destiny

    Tom, I am so sorry about what has happened to you. The contributions you have made to Tenkara fly fishing are singular and unparalleled. You have used science and logic to delineate T-rods and their casting and fishing dynamics above and beyond the sales pitches of the more common rod reviews. You have done us all a great service no one else has come close to matching.
    Recently, I have also experienced a life changing medical event - my balance and the lack of muscle strength in my legs has gotten so bad that I can no longer negotiate Mountains and wade in streams safely. I am on a blood thinner also, for hart problems, so even minor falls have become life threatening. I have never been able to visualize my life with out fishing. Now, it appears I have no choice. Tenkara fly fishing gave me an additional 11 years of angling over what I could have done with Western tackle because it gave me a free hand to use a wading staff, and more pleasure in my fishing than I had ever known before. And you contributed greatly to my Tenkara happiness, thank you Tom for all you have so kindly done…Karl.

    Hi Tom,
    You don’t know me but you are a very big source of inspiration in my Tenkara journey. Your vlog is the reason why I’ve started Tenkara. Your videos are so much inspiring and I’ve learned a lot watching you on the water.
    I wish you the best in this moment…Prayers for you from France.

    Tom I can't thank you enough for how much you've helped me learn Tenkara. And for the Mizuchi that I enjoy. Amongst other things. Like me now getting to share the fun of Tenkara with my wife and grandkids. So from our family to you and yours. Prayers, positivity and togetherness! Take care and heal up the best you can Tom!! 🙏🏻

    Hi Tom, I just became aware of Tenkara a little over a year ago from a vlog by Tristan Higbee. It intrigued me and with very little searching I came upon your vlogs. To shorten the story, you introduced me to and partially trained me ina couple of the most enjoyable past-times I've been able to experience in my life; Tenkara fishing and fly tying. I've fished much during my 72 years but nothing has compared to this form of fishing. I just wanted to let you know how your influence contributed so greatly to my life. As with others that have commented, I pray for your medical recovery and return to the streams you are so fond of. I'll be continuing to watch and learn. Thanks again Tom, and God bless you.

    In addition to the love of your family, this amazing Tenkara community also loves you too. Best wishes and glad to see this update to put our minds at ease to see you out of the hospital in your home.
    I have enjoyed all content you produced between Teton, and TA but however long you need to get through this medical phenomenon is unanimously accepted and we want nothing but the best for you.
    I am going to give my wife and kids an extra hug today feeling inspired that I am nothing without them. Thank you for reminding me about that.
    God speed.

    Ditto to every expression of gratitude, and especially wishes for your well-being. Tenkara would simply not be Tenkara without your consistent and well thought out contributions. I have benefited greatly from your hard work and even made my wading stick according to your design. As an aside - I didn't see any reference in any of the current posts to the music you used in earlier recordings. I will ALWAYS be very thankful for learning about Acoustic Eidolon from you. Everybody needs to check them out. My personal favorite is "To Be Alive". Get well soon, and thanks.

    Hi Tom, I'm sorry to hear this and I hope you get well soon. I've actually been following your blog for a few years now. But the most important thing of all is, as you say, having the affection of your friends and the greatest and most unconditional love of your entire family accompanying you. Hugs.

    @neilfromtexas-vn1dv Місяць тому

    Well said Tom. We all have our “stuff” life throws at us but that’s not what defines us. It’s how we handle the “events” that defines us. Eight years ago out of no where I ended up in complete heart failure with an Ejection Fraction of 15 percent. I was “waking dead” without any cardiac history. The cardiac transplant team deemed my heart too weak for even a transplant. Through the grace of God and many months of rehab I was actually able to go back to work and complete a 32 year career as an Arlington Texas Firefighter. Now retirement(busy as ever) is great. I train other firefighters now on a schedule I get to make which includes lots of travel. That travel rarely does not include a Tenkara rod or two(or more) in the RV. Best of luck on your recovery. Faith, family and attitude are the largest variables in recovery! Thanks for the time you’ve given to the “Tenkara world” to share your knowledge and experiences! Prayers to see more in the future! Oh, and I do still blame you for some of rod purchases I’ve made because I realized I “NEEDED” certain rods after some of your reviews(at least that’s what I’ve told my wife)! 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️😂 Neil

    Thank you Tom. I got hooked on Tenkara a little over 2 years ago after stumbling upon yours and Tristan's channels and websites. You helped create a new love for fishing, which I had not done in years, and now I can't get enough of it even though I don't make it out as much as I would like. I greatly enjoy watching your vlogs and learning from the information on your website. You have been in my prayers and will continue to be. May the Lord continue to bless you in your recovery and may you enjoy your time with your family (definitely the most important). I look forward to watching more of your videos as you post them. Thank you again.

    Dear Dr Tom, I have closely followed your Blog and watched your Vlog adventures since 2017 and Thank You for sharing with us. You have been a tremendous help for my Tenkara journey. I am so sorry to hear about your medical issue and I will keep you in prayer. I have been able to overcome a string of very serious medical issues beginning in 2018. *In late 2022 I was told I could not hike, or even fly commercial due to cabin pressure at cruising altitude! Through God's Grace, maintaining a good attitude, my Doctors’ treatments with ongoing medication, dietary guidance and moderate exercise, I was finally cleared to hike again in early 2024 so I can once again enjoy the beauty and solitude, but do so with reduced goals. I will pray you can do the same Sir.
