| Dan, you could start a new topic, and copy you list to the first post. Then, when Dick has more items to add, like every 45 seconds or so, all you need to do is edit that post.
Wow, Dick. You have amassed many great items in a relatively short time. And those guide trips are top notch. Kudo's to all who have contributed! And especially to you, Dick. I will be at the Blaine show, and I will be bringing extra money to buy more raffle tickets. |

| Slamr,
Your name/ticket(s) will be put in a large bowl. They will designate what the prize is before they pull a name/ticket is my understanding.

| Good morning folks!Want to get the day rolling with a SUPER PRIZE.
Jeff Arnold of REEDS sporting goods in Walker,Mn has donated a Shimano Calcutta 400.Wow.Thanks Jeff!As many of you know Reeds supports many muskie causes and here they are again.Stop by the Reeds booth at the Expo and thank them.
OK,after talking to Jeff this morning I decided to try make this donation a little more special so I headed to the shed and removed one of my well used reels from one of my favorite rods.This rod was custom made for me by a friend from Wi after considerable pleading,begging and $$$.Its 8ft and the sweetest thing I've seen for long cast tossing of big bucktails,cranks,whatever.I even work jerks with it at times.A labor of love.(Fred forgive me,hurts me too!)
A super reel deserves a Super Rod.This combo will be fantastic.
Dick
PS Folks I've mentioned shipping charges before.For things such as this rod/reel they amount to something.If you win a prize like this and can't pick it up,consider offering to pay shipping when contacted.Save us guys some $$ for a good cause.
Any more prizes out there?
Todd-thanks for the bonus lures!!!

Stop by and thank Brad,Dennis and the rest of the crew at their EXPO booth.
Hey,I note we are bearing down on 1,000 views.Awesome.Thanks Steve,Jason and all!

Location: Walker, MN | To all I just wanted to say a word about the Basin Bait from Kendal Klaus that was offered for the raffle. I was out trolling Walker Bay in late November, and I ran into Kendal he had just released a 47X25 that he had taken with the Basin Bait, these are huge deep diving baits unlike any thing you will find any where, Kendal hand crafts each bait and they take somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 hours to produce!

| Another morning hello!Everyone have a great day!We'll start it off here with a dandy new prize:
Guide Robert Brunner Sr([email protected]) has donated a full guide day on Lake St.Clair.Trip must be taken the last week in July this year.Some facts;Bob has been fishing St.Clair since 1929!!!Caught his first muskie there in 1931 on a cane pole(medium heavy action?:-))His P best is 52 lb 1 ouncer caught in 1974.Last year they put a 57 incher in the boat.Now,this is a CASTING trip,not trolling which we most often associate with that Lake.You may recall Bob was described as a legend a few years back in Musky Hunter-this is a real opportunity and privilege folks!Thanks very much Bob!

Location: oswego, il | I went to the sport show in green bay today and came into a whole bunch of giant bodies to make spiners with. I will make about 25 or so and bring to the MN swap meet next week. I will donate 75% of what I make from them to this cause. All I would like is to get back what the lures cost to make. You get a big spinner(some are so big you will only be able to troll them) and help the cause. Not to mention, you will have a unique lure, the likes nobody or musky has ever seen. |

| Shep,we'll chat about this at the EXPO.I have a couple 'yahoos'from Illinois staying at my house that weekend and we are an hour and a half away so not sure of the 'swap' but I'm going to try talk you out of that donation either way.:-)
Todd,thanks very much.Neat move and people like you make a difference.
Folks I just took a calculator and made a rough estimate of the value of the prizes donated so far.Tough cause I'm not sure of a few items but my best guestimate is that its in the area of $11,000 to 13,000 dollars!Lots of nice stuff to have a shot at for 5 bucks.Please take that shot!
I won't be hustling many more prizes this week cause of other committments but I'm sure some will be added.I'll also be 'working'the floor at the EXPO and know some more will be added there.Again consider donating a prize.If you have a new product you want some exposure on,donate one and we'll help,
I intend to be at the EXPO all 3 days so please stop by the Raffle booth and chat-I'll sell you a ticket or two!
Dick
