Gave away a couple of shirts, hats, gift cards, rod/reel combos. Then our store manager stood up and said "I'm in a good mood....lets give away some big prizes" He proceded to give to an employee a very nice grill. A couple more shirts and stuff were given away, then he stood up again and said "as the last prize tonight we'll be giving away a boat" Well, having not won anything the entire night....I was ready to lose. The first 3 numbers matched perfectly, and then another manager gave a speech to hold me and the other 6 guys in complete suspense. The last number came and it matched mine perfectly. I couldnt believe it! I finally will have my own boat this season!!! I get to go in and pick it out tomorrow, anyone feel like fishing soon? <g> Just had to share the news with everyone. Anyone do any fishing? We've been catching alot of BIG largemouth right off their beds with spinning gear, and I lost about an 18 inch rainbow on a creme midge last thursday. 2nd time i've lost him, but I'll get him eventually, take some pictures, and let him go.... Happy tying/fishing all! -Eddie
