Your awesome prize will be on the way shortly BD!! Thanks to Rudy and Karl and KaRu Lures (http://www.karulures.com/) for providing the great prize!!

Several entrants sent their entries to the wrong address, and/or did not answer every question completely right. Some were confused by my question 5 - stating the state championship location, not the Northern divisional. Didn't mean to confuse anyone. All answers were available within GreatLakesBass.com. UAWBigDog was the only member to get all answers completely right the first try to the correct address. Way to go BD!!! Guess you knew what you were talking about.

Who is James Madigan?

Congratulations BD!!!! I hope you enjoy your prize!!!

Well, the question did only call for the screen names, not real names. That is the only thing he didn't get right. I'm sure Jason can take it. I got a pretty good variety of answers, particulary around Jason/James/Dave/David MadWags ;D

I'm glad Jason finally got his own screen name a while back. Much easier that way.

Well, men.............it wasn't easy.  Especially question #5.  I did not find the answer in the website.  I actually got it off of another website.  And as DK said............I read every question very, very carefully so that I made sure every answer was clear and concise.  Thanks for the prize.  If you need my mailing address, PM me.  I will send it again. 

All my fish this year will be caught on KaRu Lures!!!!  Thanks again!!!! 

And remember sports fans...........All baits are good as long as they are baits made by KaRu Lures.   SSSSSWWWWWEEEEEEETTTTTT!!!!

So I sounded confident.....huh..........Well I was really worried more about whether I had sent my answers to the right address.  I knew my answers were correct..........I was just hoping you received them.........as I said.  As far as knowing what I am talking about.........that is very kind of you.  My bride says I never know what I am talking about.  I have heard it so much that I was almost beginning to believe it until DK told me otherwise.  Thanks for that vote of confidence DK......I do really appreciate it.

And again let me remind you all out there in bassfishing land.............
"All baits are good as long as they are from KaRu Lures!!!!!"


BD                ;D

I have your address. Will mail your prize soon.

All the information is on this web site as far as the answers. I promise. That's how I found them all... in about 8 minutes. It may have seemed a little hard to some, but the prize is well worth it.

I was surprised that half the entrants sent their answers to the wrong addresses. If you knew how much email and PM's I get in a day, you would not want your answers mixed in with all that where I might miss the winning answer!!! ;D

BD... your big prize should be there any day now!!

I'll be giving away another KaRu Vibra Series kit to some lucky winner at the GR DeVos ultimate fishing show in a few weeks. Watch for more details.

Thanks Dan.  I can't wait to try them out. 

BD            ;D

I received my prize today.........the KaRu Vibraspin Kit.  It is awesome.  I can't wait to use it.  Thanks DK for running another fun contest. 

BD                ;D

You're welcome. You deserve it!

Now lets all pray for some soft water so we can go fishing  ;D

I have been praying daily.  The Hot Pond is calling................

BD         ;D

Last year at this time I was hunting Pike and Walleye on the inland lakes :(
