Less than three hours to go.
Who's going to win the trip of a lifetime.

Somebody should really bid this up at this price it's a steal. I'd do it but I'm going to be out of country.

I was fortunate to win this last year. For anyone thinking of bidding, let me assure you this was truly an awesome experience. Regardless of your experience level, you will learn a ton. The guys in the house and the guides were all good people, passionate about fishing and supporting this important cause!

Bid hard...you will not regret it.

I'm in for $1300

$1655

$1660

$2000

$1,701

Thanks.
Never been in an auction before....pretty exciting stuff.

I really think it is hard to put a value on a trip like this. Both in content and cause.

Agreed! Tight Lines!!

Nice job guys. I can't thank you enough for bidding for the cause.

This is just a sick trip.
It is a crazy gift to put this together for the community. I still cannot believe that I am actually going.

Thank you.

Because the bidding has surpassed another $500 increment we are offering an additional day (Monday) if that works with your schedule.

Congrats! Better start resting up.

Very nice fundraiser. Congrats to all! Hope the fishing is epic!

Puppett - check PMs so I can work out your prize!

Congrats

Thanks guys. I spoke with Greg, Dennis, and Tom over the
weekend. It sounds like its going to be a blast. The more I
hear about the trip the more I am just blown away by the
generosity of all the people involved.

It should be epic!

I am so looking forward to the bucktails you selected. I received
my order I placed with you a last week for some canal goodies
and they look awesome. I cannot wait to use them.


Thanks. Very cool!

Amazingly generous bid! See you on the Porkchop!

Yeeeeeaaaaaaah!

I have been reflecting on this a bit, and I do not feel generous, as it
was the bid that I truly feel the trip is worth. With the extra days
added it is worth even more, but my budget capped out where it
did, and the auction played out in my favor.

The opportunity to rub elbows with such a talented group is really
priceless, and I see all of you and the sponsors as the ones who are
being so generous with your time and resources. You guys are the
ones with the amazing generosity. Thank You!

Best of luck and good all the way around for all involved.

This is Painted Rock - I took 2 days ago.

Just to get you guys in the mood.

That's nice. Thanks for sharing.

Any fish? was out there for the day Thursday (work related) and it was relatively stirred up in tight on the S. Side...

I have always wanted to paint that rock in a faux granite texture to make it look like someone replaced it with a new one. :hihi:

Even though it is over, I thought a bump on Memorial Day weekend was appropriate. Everyone should be commended for being so generous to a worthy cause.
