We won the ROD!!
 

Just got the call from Steve, My 16 year daughter Amanda (Scup Gril) Won the Ron Arras Custom Rod from the MSBA!!

She is psyched!! I will be meeting Steve Thursday to pick it up!!

Just Great!! I payed the gas, admittance, raffle money and she gets the rod??

Then she has the b--- to say will you buy me a good real for it!!

This is great!! She is going to DC for a week with school so she will not be there to get it, But she is thankful to all!!

Thanks all this really makes the year for us!!

Any reel sugestions??:jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:

Good for her. That's great. Hopefully she uses it and lands a nice 50! Now Dad, how about a nice VS for her?

Congrats, that was a nice rod :btu:

Congrats:claps:

I thought that was her that one it but I wasn't quite sure... Good for her! See, you'll need to go surf fishing again :hee:

nice going, congrats to amanda.:jump:

Good for her! Glad to see S-B winners.

Now Joe, if she isn't gonna be in the surf, find her a good boat set up that will be hers. This is assuming she will be primarily fishing on the boat with you. (And let me know what you want for that rod):jump:

Thanks all!! yes we are 98% boat, I have a surf rod I haven't used in 5 years!
There has been some talk about selling it?? I will let you all know if it goes that way.

good for her.She is strating out right.hows a 704 sound?You won't have to break the bank ether.

That's great scup Girl :btu: congratulations!!!!

atta GIRL SCUP-GIRL you rock.... :btu:

Congrats to your daughter!!!

that 1204 would look mighty nice in my collection...let me know if you do plan on selling it as I would be VERY interested.

If you are a boat person and you are going to sell it I have a brand new penn 975LD that has only been used twice that I am willing to trade for the 1204...let me know if you do plan on getting rid of it.

Scup Girl...:kewl:

tri state rod
 

i'm happy for her. but don't be cheap, when i meet you thur. you should already have a reel ready to go on the rod. i also would like to thank everybody that purchased tickets to help support tri state fishing tournaments and a special thanks to mike at m&ds who built the awesome rod. thanks to all steve

I will be heading to Mikes to see what he has for a reel, Something cheap but nice, in the middle??

so far she say's NO SALE guys!

She is getting a car soon and will be fishing from shore she says when she can.

What a first rod!! And she just bought her self some nice plugs from Salty at the show, Just need that real now and she is better set up then the old man!!

I am still trying to figure out were I went wrong??

I have been taking her fishing for 10 years, all at my cost, Take her to all the shows again at my cost, Buy the winning ticket and she ends up better off then I do?? I even offered to take the rod off her hands and give her a brand new Diawa Sealine I have in the celing, and she says no way!

Thats it I am charging her for all her bioat rides now! :bounce:

well who better to match a reel to the rod than the guy who built it

-----> -----> ---->
 

you can't argue with Murphy's law.

I agree!! Mikes the guy for the job!!

Congrats to scup girl!

How much anybody want to bet that before the summer is done,
she lands a bigger bass using it the the old man has ever caught!!!:bl:
Great for her!!!

Joe, you can probably go with one of the Nautils for short money and they handle the surf very well.

Congrats to yourself and your daugter on the win!! Tell her to play the numbers she may be on a roll :jump:

Thats AWSOME.....good for her.:claps:

Congrats to your daughter Joe.

at lease she,ll know how to fish with it ..good time hah man??

Way teh Go Scup Girl!
