When the wife and I were getting ready to run down to Cabela's our cat Max asked where we were going. I told him we were going to purchase a $25.00 gift card for the Fishing Challenge. He asked if we could pick up one small one to donate in his name.
I told him that he eats 4 cans of cat food daily so I can't afford a card in his name. Well, he said he would cut down to 3 cans a day for 2 wks if we donate a $10.00 Cabela's card in his name. So, he wins.
Please add 1 $10.00 Cabela's card donated in the name of Lee & Borgie's cat Max.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved with the 2009 Fishing Challenge. From the brain trust/organizer bobby bass, judges, prize distribution center, donating sponsors, competing teams, smack down participants, and site owners. I received my prizes on Thanksgiving week and noticed how much the postage was and that was a major expense in it's self. :happy1:
I will definitely be donating to the prize list once more next year.
Looking forward to the 2010 Challenge, :toast:

Well you did so good this year I had to use two bags for you so that increased the shipping expense a little.
