    Deez Memories was launched after the team participated in many angler events for underprivileged children who had no opportunities to ever be on the water. Other events included those who loved to fish with no access to a boat and fishing tournaments for bragging rights that included nine Central Texas lakes. The realization of being able to offer someone the chance to be on a body of water and feel that tug at the end of the line became our mission.
