這些有趣的旅行有著長遠的影響。2000年，壹個偶然的機會，壹天，當他在壹場校內籃球賽執勤的時候，木迪註意到兩個年輕人在附近徘徊。他意識到有問題要發生了。突然，其中的壹個年輕人徑直走向木迪並且擁抱了他，說：“我記得妳，妳在我五年級的時候帶我去釣魚的！那天是我壹生中最美好的日子！”
木迪被這男孩的語言深深打動了，決定要成立壹個基金會，這個基金會在學校露營計劃裏為青少年提供釣魚的基礎設備。“作為壹個警官，我往往看見在暴力的背後都有毒品的存在。它們對孩子有著不可否決的壞影響。”
通過讓孩子們把興趣轉向釣魚，他打算呈現壹個多次多彩的方式去生活。“當妳坐在這兒等著魚兒上鉤的時候”他說“妳不禁和旁邊人聊天，這些對話有時候會聊得很深。”
“談到毒品，讓我幫助那些在學校的同齡人”17歲的米歇爾說道。米歇爾曾經參加了第壹屆的釣魚計劃。“並且我盡量幫助我弟弟遠離毒品。”
木迪將在三年內面臨著退休，到時候他希望全職的經營這個基金。“我活得很開心，我對我的整個社區有責任心，我要回報我的社區。”木迪說。“如果今天我要教壹個小孩釣魚，他可以明天教他兄弟釣魚呢。”

猜原文全文如下：
Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with drug an gang problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often ran into trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day off.
Those fun trips had a lasting impact. A chance encounter in 2000 proved that. One day, while working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys quarreling. He sensed trouble between them. suddenly one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.”I remember you. You took me fishing when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the best days of my life. ”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation that introduces teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw where there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging impact on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he intended to present an alternative way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a bite ,”he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such conversations can be pretty deep."
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who participated the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother avoid drugs.”
Moody faces retirement in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.”I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my community to give back,” Moody says."If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow."
