    Default Just a thought


    Guys, The weather was not good here this weekend and I spent my time watching T.V. There was a program on one of the channels about a fishing tournament that benefitted the St Jude Childrens Hospital in Memphis. Some of the pictures of these little kids with cancer are heartbreaking to say the least.

    Is there any way we could set a date and have an "on-line" tournament and send the money we raise to St Judes? It would have to be on the "honor system" with weights reported in to this web site. I would propose that all entry fees be forwarded to St Judes directly from a bank, and I will contribute $50 towards the purchase of a trophy for the winner.

    Maybe I am out of line here, but it seems to me that there must be something we can do to help those kids.

    That's the day my 8 year old sister passed away at St Judes. We were all there and I was 17. I still can't watch the TV show you mentioned, but I can do any sort of tourney that comes up. Thanks.

    I don't know if I'll be able to participate in a tourney, but I'll support our members in the cause by donating. I think it would be a great idea to use what we love to do, to help the people we love.
    This only my opinion, but nothing you can say will change my mind. That makes it a FACT.

    Maybe just a donation drive on behalf of Crappie.com would work? Just a thought. If you see this being the case, I will donate 40.00 to start things off. Maybe we can get an online auction going on some guided tours from some of these guides that are on here and provide an extreme amount of helpful information.
    It wouldn't take long to get up several thousand dollars for such a great cause!

    Default Beautiful!

    What a wonderful thought. I'm all for it.
    I wouldn't feel comfortable competing with some of the BEST crappie fishers in the world (all yall), but would be more than happy to donate to the cause.
