By Jay Heater Verified| Observer Media Group@ It was back in 2015, when Sarasota's Brenda Root sent her sons Michael and Jared to the Youth and Teen Fishing Seminar hosted by the Lakewood Ranch Anglers Club and Lakewood Ranch Community Activities. Both Brenda and her husband Dale remembered the impact it had on their boys. "They still talk about it," Brenda Root said. "It gives kids a love of fishing. It helped them feel that they could do it."After Dale Root retired, he started looking around for ways to give back to his community.

It wasn't like I didn't have a watch. Or in today's world, a phone.
