This is a joke... right?? Everybody got the same post and all I have to do is send $499.00 for shipping and handling and the prize will arrive??
In the rare event that I have actually won something as nice as the rod and/or reel that was offered I will humbly express my sincere appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. Lienau for their generosity.
I enjoy the posts on BFT and all the guys (and gals) that are so willing to share their knowledge with others. I have made many friends on BFT, most of them I have never met in person but I would be happy to spend a day on the water with any of them.
Fish on.

Didn't Vicki send you a PM already? Indeed you are the winner and there is of course no charge for shipping. Names from every board on BFT, that had members enter the contest, were put in for the drawing and just to be fair another company, with no affiliation to BFT, drew from the group of names submitted and you won fair and square. Congratulations Boatloadakids.

I did indeed get the PM from Vicki. She confirmed that I had won the rod/reel combo and asked only for my address so it can be sent.
I thanked her profusely and I'm anxiously waiting for it to get here so I can give it a go.
Very generous of Bobby and Vicki -- they seem like really nice folks.

Some guys have all the luck!!!! Not only did he win this. But it's looking pretty likely he won the big catfish contest as well. Guess we'll have to wait for it to be made official, but I know you kicked my but big time. Congratulations on both accounts. J

Big thanks for all the congrats.
I have determined that I missed my 35 inch cat this year due to faulty equipment. My new Shimono Sedona 3000 reel and carbon fiber rod should solve that problem... unless there is a loose nut on the handle while it is in use.
I appreciate BFT, its members, and especially Bobby and Vicki for their generosity. Good people all.
