Is This For Real???

Uncle Buck · 01-26-2008, 02:02 AM

I'm always skeptical of winning things. So when I received this letter today, I was wondering if this is just a ploy to get me to attend a fund-raising event. What do y'all think? I'm gonna call Peter Chaibongsai in a few days.

Uncle Buck · 01-26-2008, 10:16 AM

Thanks everyone! The thing that seems odd, is that I think I've only sent in 6 swordfish tag cards. That's not many. I thought there were a lot more people tagging 'em. ???

Congrats Bill

Kinda scary that it only took 6 to win, but it's a start.

Bill

Have any of the tags been recovered?

WhItEoUt 23 · 01-26-2008, 12:52 PM

WAY TO GO BUCK !!!!!!!!!

ameristrat · 01-26-2008, 02:53 PM

That's great!!!! I know it's a bit of a longshot but hopefully people will take after you and tag these fish too. I'm saving up at the moment to get my own swordfish equipment - you can only use other peoples rods, gaffs, lights, etc... so often before they get really mad - and I'm getting a tag kit before a flying gaff... it's less expensive, beneficial, and I'm more of a sportfisherman than a meat fisherman... Anyway, congrats again!

So does this mean you can't fish on the Feb 15th

Uncle Buck · 01-26-2008, 04:02 PM

Actually... I'll be in Daytona for the 500 that weekend.
