Tyrie came to UGM Camp a couple summers ago. On one of the first evenings of camp, Volunteer John took Tyrie and some of the other boys from his camp fishing. A couple kids caught a fish or two, but in the span of about 45 minutes, Tyrie caught a total of 17 fish! His whole mannerism started to change; he was giddy and chattering with excitement as he pulled in fish after fish. Here is Tyrie with one of the fish he caught - the biggest John had ever seen caught at camp. It was Tyrie's first-time fishing, and it was all he could talk about the rest of the week.
