Way to go!  And yeah, from the email I got, JigNpig does get the trip with Hank.  Hank seemed very cool at ICAST doing interviews about the Hobbie fishing boat.

Paul, please give us a trip report with pics after you fish with hank.

Way to go Paul , I knew you would win.  Tell hank I said hi, even though I'm quite sure he won't know me, and keep us posted.

[bmadd]

Couldn't of gone to a better guy ya'll. Paul works hard at figuring out those green fish. He's not quite as pretty as bikini girl but he's still a heck of guy. Congrats buddy. Enjoy your trip  

[Delaware Valley Tackle]

Congrats man!!!

[paul.]

thanks so much guys for the votes, kind words, and everything else.  means more than i can possibly say.  as always, i am humbled by y'all's kindness.  i am truly blessed to have such a great group of friends.  

as far as fishing with hank goes, i ain't gonna count my chickens before they hatch. ;D  winning elite angler only gives me a CHANCE at the grand prize (1 in 22 odds i think).  hank chooses the winner himself out of that group i think.   we'll see what happens.  either way, i appreciate the support from all my friends at br and ragetail more than i can put into words.

that brings me to the subject of my MIA status here at br.  i am sorry that i have not been on in a while.  for the better part of the summer, we have been short staffed at work and things have been pretty hectic.  unfortunately no relief is in sight for at least a month.  but eventually i hope to be able to stop in and talk with y'all every once in a while.  i sincerely apologize that it took so long for me to see all these well wishes and congrats in this topic.  thanks for the heads up big o.  and thanks kent for posting this.

look forward to more good times on here when i get a chance.  thanks again for everything.  y'all are the best.

1:22 -not bad.

IMO, Hank would be the lucky one.

[Dwight Hottle]

Hey paul,

If Hank looks over your pictures maybe he will want to fish with you & pick your brain. Your sucess speaks for itself. Good luck. ;)

[Simp]

Hey now lets get something straight HANK GET TO FISH WITH PAUL!!! I'd choose to fish with Paul over Hank any day of the week and twice on Sunday!  Congrats Paul you the man!
