Zach Netten Uses Fishing To Overcome Cancer

May 2016 Feature, Industry

Mercury Marine shared this fantastic story with us about 17-year-old Zach Netten, a high school student who was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer when he was a freshman. Zach has been fishing for most of his life, and when he was given the diagnosis, he took solace in watching fishing videos on YouTube. He even got the chance to go on a fishing trip to Canada through the Make-A-Wish foundation. His cancer is now in remission, and even with the damage done to his body, he continues to fish.
