fishergirl72 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Since it is FREEZING out, I thought that I would start this thread so people can come here and rightfully brag on what they won or came close to winning. Maybe this will cheer us up a bit while we are bored stiff during this cold snap. Myself I have recently won a great prize pack from Extreme Fishergirl Contest, the fish that won me that is the same one that I have in my avatar and a couple of years ago I came in 2nd place for Miss Hot Rod "2004" for the Monster Truck Show in Toronto. And last summer I came in 75th in the CIBC Run for the Cure for Breast Cancer. There were hundreds of people running or walking to raise money for breast cancer, that alone I felt was a big accomplishment for me, I did it for a good cause. And I won Fishindevil's heart and to me that is the biggest prize I could get! So tell us what great things you have won or are proud to come very close to winning Edited February 7, 2007 by fishergirl72

Jer Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 Well besides the recent inaugural OFC Poker challenge (thanks for the $65 pot fellas), five years ago I won a 54" Samsung HD-ready rear-projection big screen from a local establishment (that has since burnt to the ground). All I had to do was show up on the odd Wednesday and drink some beer, 6 months later they gave me a TV (I guess I ended up with a few ballots in the box). I haven't added the HD reciever quite yet to get the full potential from the set, but I'm close.
Grimace Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 I won second prize in a beauty contest while playing monopoly. 10 bucks monopoly money I believe, better than a kick in the butt with a frozen boot

bigfish1965 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 About 20 years ago I won my first and only fishing tournament. It was on Buckhorn and we were in a combo bass/walleye tourney. The only reason we entered was cause we were staying there at the campground that was hosting it and the entry was 50 bucks for a team. Me and my grandfather went about 100 yrds from the take off site. Everyone else had boogied to up around Gannons Narrows. My first cast with a small rapala went a bit close to shore. I pulled it off a stump and as soon as it touched the water...blammo. We drifted a bit past the point by now and were into deeper water. I switched up to a jig and Uncle Josh pork rind and made a second cast. Tap-tap..walleye. That was it..that was all I caught all day. Turns out that was all I needed with the nasty cold east winds around. A few guys had kicked themselves for throwing back 11 inch fish. Apparently the bite lasted all of ten minutes for everyone.
nautifish Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 Yep Well last spring i won a thousand bucks in the perch derby here in dover, Yesterday i won free tickets to the spring fishing show and a free subscription to esox fishing mag......This yr i do plan on fishing a couple more different tourneys though and it will be my 1st yr in doing so. Back in Europe i won a conest and got to parachute out of a plane which was awesome would do it again in a heart beat.
Joey Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 Well I only win things that are directly related to OFC Last year I won the Esox Angler magazine subscription, then I got the Secret Santa musky shirt (which I feel like I won ), then I won the spot on the Dave Mercer Christmas show - The Ten Dave's of Christmas, and then I won the St. Croix musky rod in the LSMRP that Ron sponsored. Yes, 2006 was indeed a good year. And gosh darnit, thanks OFC Joey
OhioFisherman Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 Got a first place and big fish at a 2 day bass tourney in New York, a 4th at Ceasars Creek in Ohio finished in the top 25 pretty often, too bad they don`t pay down that far! LOL I have also done pretty bad. It was a game, always fun! Big tournaments or small you try to learn something everytime out.
