Print This PageFishing For Friends is a benefit fishing tournament presented by TheBassCast.com. This year’s tournament will be raising money to help Dale Wilson pay his medical bills from this year’s long stay after his back surgery on Jan 4th 2018.
Dale Wilson has been a guide for as long as most of us can remember. Most of the time you can catch Dale out on SML chasing stripers with his clients. If you aren’t new to the bass tournament scene then chances are you have fished against Dale in local tournaments around the area.
Back in 2010 while fishing in a tournament Dale and his partner were involved in a boating incident where another boat ran over their boat. Over the years since he has had three back surgeries with the latest surgery being January of this year. Dale checked in for his surgery not knowing what the future had in store for him. Surgery went well and off to rehab he went. The second day of rehab things took a turn he nor anyone else expected. During one of the rounds the nurses make they noticed he wasn’t quite himself. The nurse and Dr got together and some tests were ran to find that he had an infection. Shortly afterwards it was clear he wasn’t going home any time soon . This infection took a huge toll on his body that was already attempting to heal from the back surgery. While in the rehab center he was not able to do any rehab to help strengthen his back to help the healing process. Finally six months later Dale was allowed to go home.
During the course of his stay Dale had very little income and had to sell some personal property to pay bills. At this time he is not able to get out and doing any guiding but manages to get out on the water to do some fishing from time to time. Keep in mind that guiding on SML is what he relied on for income.
Dale has a long way to go before he is anywhere close to his normal routine. He needs to get back to rehab which may not be covered by insurance being that it’s so long after surgery. With the fact that he was bed ridden so long the rehab he originally got has no effect. Rehab is so important right after surgery then you need to keep moving to build up those muscles to strengthen your back, a process he was looking forward to but wasn’t able to.
We at thebasscast.com felt the need to do this benefit for Dale Wilson to help him get back up on his feet and to get back out on that water and do what he does best. Dale will be on hand at weigh in to receive any money that is collected.
