Solomon Curtis was once one of the kids that he is so desperately trying to reach today through an innovative fishing program in Ohio. “Four years ago, I told my wife that I wanted to do something in the outdoors for kids,” Curtis said recently. “Growing up, I knew that my purpose here in life was to serve and to help children. Within my (professional) career, I’ve always helped kids. But, I’ve always been passionate about fishing, too.
