Troutfisher Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Wanted to go ahead and start this thread for tomorrow so it could be here. This is a place to post what you received, or gave, for Christmas. Feel free to post early if you received something early, but mainly for Christmas Day to post what gifts you received. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 I got my brother a tacklebag and a chunky (for him) gift certificate to Cabela's. I'm gonna do my best not to make "suggestions" when we go to the store. I also put labels on the individual boxes so he can label them, and put all the dividers in (which is a real pain). Lastly, I took all of his lures out of my tacklebag (except for a couple I've grown attached to of course) and organized them in his, with tons of room to spare. Hopefully this will permanently affix the BM to his back so we can share the same affliction ;D I got myself my first Loomis IMX and when I went to Cabela's to get my Stradic, they didn't have the 2500 in stock (which struck me as pitiful, BTW), so I "settled" for a Pflueger Supreme. It's an awesome setup, and it was a real treat catching trout on it yesterday on 2 lb test line. The other spool has 6 lb test. I'm gonna get the Stradic next month, and I guess I'll have to find another rod for my Flooger... Merry Christmas! Quote
Super User Alpster Posted December 24, 2007 Super User Posted December 24, 2007 Not sure yet what my daughters have gotten for me, but I already know what I got for me. LOL My youngest just laughs out loud when I ask her to wrap a present I bought for myself and put it under the tree. When she asks what it is i say " I can't tell you, I want it to be a surprise" LOL It's a Chronarch 100BSV, like I need another reel. LOL MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ronnie Quote

Super User Tin Posted December 25, 2007 Super User Posted December 25, 2007 Tons of Terminator Jigs, ***, BPS stuff, and another Carrot Stix. :) :) :) Quote
Big T Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 So far I recieved a new battery charger for my boat, some BPS gift cards, a new baseball cap w/built in lamps for night fishing. Sunday the 23rd was my birthday, my wife gave me a new hand held spot light that is very strong for night time navigation, and some BPS gift cards. I see some new rod holders for the boat and a few heavy duty rods capable of catching sharks and huge flatheads in my future. I may not fish at all until sundown and early night hours next summer. Big T. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted December 25, 2007 Super User Posted December 25, 2007 We opened tonight. My wife(Bless her heart) made me a basket filled with rattletraps, reel covers, several spinnerbaits, a plug knocker, hand warmers, and a new Revo STX. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted December 25, 2007 Super User Posted December 25, 2007 WOOOHOOO! I just got my first compound bow - Bowtech Liberty with arrows, broadheads, release...no sights or a rest yet. Other things - a new tuner and strap for my bass, pair of hunting boots and clothes. But the best gift of all was: being able to do all of these things with the people I love. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all! Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 25, 2007 Super User Posted December 25, 2007 WOW... :o Gidget, God Bless her, got me my Sage TCR 10wt flyrod and ordered me an Abel Super 10 in the custom #4 finish. I'm sleeping with my rod tonight. She didn't fare too bad either, I couldn't decide whether to get her a new rod and reel or som clothes, so I opted to get her a nice new outfit from Ted Baker. Needless to say she was very happy with the selection. Quote
Top Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 I got a 2003 Dodge Quad cab 4X4 Pick up with a 3 inch body and 6 inch suspension lift and a 1995 Bass Cat Pantera Bass boat with a 4 stroke racing engine... *yawn* good morning... boy did I have a WONDERFUL DREAM...

NEXT year... its going to be a BPS Christmas that is for sure!!!! Merry Christmas Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 I got the day off. Being single can suck,lol Last couple days have been a little tough, I don't know if it's the work, with no time to do anything else, the fact that my family is spread out this yr or just a common seasonal depression but when I got home last night, I was absolutely miserable,.........till I got a surprise. I look over at my plants and there is a present under the big one,..what the heck? I go grab it and it says to LBH from Santa. In it was a plano box with some new j-bugs in it!! STARTOSDADRI,....had to be. He has access to my place, knows I use j-bugs(because I used all his last yr,lol) and has the heart to go out of his way and surprise someone who REALLY needed it. I called him and said "I've been bringing Christmas to people 12 hrs a day for the last 3 weeks, you brought Christmas to me" It's amazing how something so simple can lift you. It's not the lures, it's the thought. This act was the personification of Christmas, I haven't even spoken to Mike in almost a month, yet he remembered, and went out of his way to brighten my day. Thanks Mike,....you really hit a home run, your thoughtfulness made my Christmas. Merry Christmas!!! Quote
John J. Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 I got a CD player for my truck from my mom and dad as well as a gift card to Best Buy to get it installed, also a house coat with fish on it and new slippers, I also got 2 fishing t-shirts and a BanjoMinnow fishing set (check it out at Banjominnow.com) from my brother in law and $20 from my grandma & grandpa.

Fisher of Men Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 I got a new Texas Aggie watch, a Brett Favre jersey (these won't be around forever), a Jam Session game for the Nintendo DS, lots of worms, spinnerbaits, and lizards, and $300 cash. It's hard to go wrong with cash! The most important gift for me is to be with my GREAT family!! I'm going to see the in-laws today (and believe it or not, I actually like them, too.) Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Awesome reading this thread. Can't wait to see what others add as the day goes along. I got the best thing of all, like others, being with family. Wife and little girl were all pleased with their gifts. Wife got clothes that she loves to get - running/warmup suits, sweaters, shirts and pants. Little girl loved the "cool" pink Barbie car from the other thread - I have never seen her smile that big. Outside of knowing that I made the two most important people in my life happy, I scored a new floating fly box - full of flies, $50 GC to Cabella's and my favorite of all that have been getting since my daughter was born, a "Daddy and me" book that my wife makes and gets published from pictures of me and my little girl from the last year - it is a treasure and I will read it 100x over the next month. Merry Christmas to all! Eddie Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted December 25, 2007 Super User Posted December 25, 2007 I got some awesome japanese hardware from my mom. An Iwata HP-C airbrush and a bunch of paints, comrpessor, etc. THis thing is bad to the bone! My girl got me a new pair of Costa Del Mars, a Huddleston long sleeve shirt and some other cool stuff. My dad came through with some 6" Huddlestons, which unfortunately will not arrive for awhile, but I am stoked there too. Had a great christmas and hope you all did too! Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 25, 2007 Super User Posted December 25, 2007 I bought myself, with my xmas bonus from work, 3 St Croix Avids, 4 St Croix Legend Tournaments, and a Shimano Curado. Wife got me 2 Kistler Magnisum TS rods, and 3 Kistler Graphite specials. Wife got a new engagement ring.......the one I bought her when we were 18 and broke looked like a grain of sand compaired to her new one. Quote

Fishin-Psyantist Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Got a CUDA EAGLE fish finder from the wife & kids. This should go good with the 12ft jon boat. I was hoping to try it out today but it was way too windy. Lots of clothes, but this is the first christmas ever I didnt get a single pair of socks. : Bought the wife a new Motorola Razor cell phone for christmas. She really needed it too, her old phone was about 3 years old and was just about shot. Quote
