Fishin with your feet

[WAeyes]

Just caught the end of a fishing show on ESPN. Don't know what the name of it was or who was the host or anything.

They had a guest on from Sturgeon, MN. He was a pretty ordinary guy except he didn't have any arms. Somehow he attaches a rod to the bottom of his shoe and he can cast and reel and everything. What was even more amazing was he could put a minnow on a hook with his toes!

They showed him in his home doing typical tasks at home as well. Everything from running the computer to using the telephone and just about anything else that needed to be done, including driving a car with his feet. He actually helps disabled people find a job too.

This guy is a real inspiratation. Does anyone know him or know of him? Great story...don't ever let anybody tell you that you can't do something.
