[#0000ff]Finalist. Drawing later. (There's a potentially great country-western song in here somewhere.)[/#0000ff]
Here is why I need the hoodie or the long sleeve shirt and a pair of those cutle little red jig head in 1/16 or 1/8 oz.
1. My old boat motor just came out of Lee's repair shop in Hyrum (He did a great job and he's outstanding to work with) but my bill was almost more than my boat was worth and the motor has been pegged as a P.O.S. and maybe will last another season. So watch for me on the waters this year I may get stranded. I will really need that hoodie while I drift out-of-sight on Utah Lake.
2. My taxidermist who had my 33" mulie in his shop for two years finally returned it to me after I tracked him down (thank the good lord for public records!) because he got a divorce and lossed everything and moved away without telling me where he was. Oh and he never finished it and he kept my $200 deposit because he said he didn't have it to return to me and I felt lucky just to have the hide and antlers back. Now I will have to spend all my clothing allowance pluas another $400 to pay Taximan to finsh my trophy.
3. My darn black lab keeps jumping the 6' fence that surrounds my backyard so I have to go search for his black but before the he ends up in the pound. I could have used that hoodie this morning at 1:30 while I was driving the neighborhood in my jammies.
4. I really wanted to go fishing last Sunday while the sun was out but I put off writing the sports section for the paper and had to spend my entire Sunday dreaming up story ideas and taking pictures to fill space. NOW it's raining and miserable and all I can do is read about fishing on BFT and the fun everybody else had and try to make my week by winning an essay contest to get a shirt and some jigs.
5. I just got an email from my editor and he wants a story on where to find shed antlers. After I publish everybodies favorite location I will need that hoodie to keep me warm and for other BFT buddies to notice me after I have been tarred and feathered and drug accross the Wasatch Mountains, the Paunsaugant, the Book Cliffs, the Uintahs behind some ATV.
6. I'm sure I'll look better than anybody else in that hoodie or long sleeve shirt! Especially when my picture is taken with the new state record wiper, walleye, bluegill, crappie, catfish, cutthroat, largemouth, smallmouth, and striper the fish gods have promised me this year.
7. I have to end it with lucky reason #7. I want that hoodie more than I want a Canadian fishing trip, an Alaskan fishing trip, a Cabo San Lucas fishing trip and a new 18' Lund fishing boat!
