"To me, being a Future Legend means, I get to represent FAM and have an amazing group to look up to, I also get to share my knowledge with youth about fishing, and also enjoy the amazing opportunities within FAM." - Kelsey Schmitt Age 14

"Being part of FAM for me is like the relationship i have with my grandparents. Not because Bubba, Diane, Tony, Jake and Dan are old, but because I have an amazing relationship with them and they are like family to me. Whenever we are at clinics as FAM it is one of my favorite parts of the year because I get to spend time with people who not only have to same hobbies as me, but treat me like family." - Reed Resch Age 15

"Hi My Name is Khloe Thorson, being a part of FAM has meant a lot to me. I am not an extremely competitive fishers gal. I enjoy fishing for fun and helping other kids learn how to fish. I like teaching the the lucky leech belly rub and seeing them light up when they catch a fish. FAM gives me several opportunities a year to get to help others. FAM has also given me incredible opportunities like the Future Legend Sponsorship, Fishing in the FAMFL Walleye Classic, Writing the FAM Newsletter, Volunteering, and getting more involved in my community. FAM has also encouraged me to target different species of fish which has been really fun!" - Khloe Thorson Age 14

"I always loved fishing but once I started going to FAM events it changed everything. I didn’t just like to fish anymore. I loved to fish and it’s because every person involved in FAM wanted to see me succeed and gain knowledge. I’ve taken the parts that the FAM leaders have shared with me and made it so I can do the same thing. Share my love of fishing with everyone." - Callan Wagner Age 14

"Being part of FAM and the first legend has taught me so much about myself it’s giving me the confidence to be in large groups, speak with people I don’t know and express myself better. It’s given me numerous platforms to improve my public speaking but most of all it’s taught me how to mentor and be a good role model for the younger legends. I hope I make them proud!" - Blake Bussen Age 17

"The best part of fam is getting to teach some of the littler kids about how to fish and share our passion for fishing" - Garaden Lore Age 10
