Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | All I have to say is people really stepped up to the plate lastnight.
The best auction I have ever seen. A "LOT" that started off as a Weagle, and a few ToddM Tails turned into a crazy event with lures, 3 guide trips, a jacket, hats, paint jobs, 10 Weagles, ect..... JESSE was the MAN on that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I know is I better get one of those WEAGLES Jesse!!!!
Hell of a job lastnight boys! The kid was probably laughing his a$$ off last night when the bidding wars began. pgaschultz was priceless lastnight, and Jesse took the cake. It was simply awesome.
Thanks to Slamr, for putting this together! |

| That was good times! PGA was bidding on stuff he did even know what it was... the man's a menace and what can you say about Jesse.... speachless! |

Location: Ogden, Ut | It was a great time. Kudos to those involved in the orchestration of it. It was chaotic at times, but generally under control...bidding, however, got completely out of hand! Thankfully so, I might add. I was impressed. Jesse and PGA - what can I say? Your bank accounts may be empty now, but your karma accounts will always be full! And Slamr, nicely done.
Thanks to all who donated, and I (much like Slamr), pay attention to things like that.

Location: Monee, Illinois | Thanks guys its a great cause and get some great stuff, yeah you think I was nuts last night you should have know me on my drinking days, I would not have lost an auction item. Heck I didnt know what that thing was from Muskie first i guess some kind of 26 inch lure all i know i was up to $100 for it. Does anyone have a picture of it. Would love to see that lure and is it just a display thing or do people really fish with it. I also would like to see a picture of a Snowcrest Globe some guys said it was a top water and others a glide bait. The best is I get to wet some lines with Slamr one day. $400 heck thats nothing we have some Drivers in our shop for more than that.....The killer my chicky is going to freak when she see more lures coming to the house. Anyone want my bass stuff LOL....Love the musky and love what you guys did for Kyle never had a chance to meet him but he sure seems very well liked. If the PGA would treat us Golf Pro's like Musky fisherman treat other Musky fisherman the world would be a better place.....
Thanks Guys Great Time First Class Auction,
pgaschulz "AKA SS Bob"
P.S. Can't wait to throw that weagle or one of those huges rivers I am going to catch my first 50 icher for Kyle!!!!
