Please send all bids to me by Private Message here on the website or by email. I will keep everyone updated as to who the current leading bidder is.
The auction will last until thursday Feb. 22 @ noon.
This gift certificate will be valid for any time period and for trips on Mille Lacs Lake and the Mississippi River, including the much sought after night trips. I will be giving the winner of this trip preference for dates as well.
This trip is for three people so get a couple buddies together and bid on this trip! I'll do everything in my power to make this trip the best day of fishing you've ever had... and all proceeds go to a beautiful little boy that desperately needs our help.
Who will start the bidding at $400?

I gracefully bow out, my last move will be to call a few key buddy's to see if they can pony up some cash, otherwise my top bid stands. I am not done yet!

By the way guys, those first four fish pictured in Steve's post came from James' boat on the same night, and there were many more as well. $600 is a bargain!
Thanks for bidding guys! It's very generous of you all, and I'm sure the winner will be rewarded 10-fold!

So... who's going to dig a little deeper and take this auction tomorrow? I have a surprise... a little "bonus" that is going to go with this give away but I won't be letting the cat out of the bag until the auction ends. Let's just say I've found a way to make this trip one that the winner will NEVER forget!
Do I hear $700?

This auction is CLOSED and we have ourselves a winner!
Fireman1217 your bid of $750 takes the full day guided trip for 3.... your choice of dates and body of water to be fished.
As for the surprise I mentioned... Sampson Rolen is the camerman and editor for the IDO TV shows and he's offered to film our outing and edit that footage into a DVD that you'll be able to share with friends. And, with your permision of course, we'd like to air that video here on the site for all to see!
I want to thank EVERYONE for their participation and for their generous bids on this trip. The money will go to the Brandon Rolen Foundation to help children with SMA-I.
Fireman1217... you have a PM.

Just bring your self and a couple friends, decide on what fish you want to chase and James will take care of the rest. You will have a great time.
As for us giving up our time and boats. It was a easy decision for me after reading about Brandon and then having my kids ask if I would play with them.
You and others will here about more trips being offered as the week goes on.
