I'd buy abutting farms in Virginia, amassing about 2,,000 acres. I'd hire a full-time pond manager and a full-time groundskeeper. I'd then hire a top tier pond-building firm and build five or six ponds, of varying sizes. Four would be managed for trophy largemouth, one for trophy bluegill, and one for smallmouth. I'd also build a remote cabin on a Canadian smallmouth lake, if the Canadian government would permit that. A 2,000 square-foot home or a renovated farm house would be fine. I'd also like a river to be crossing the VA property. I love rivers.  

 

How about you?

The first thing I would do is retire.  I'd figure out what to buy after that.

a few new schools for where I work, a jet boat for the rivers and invite @slonezp over to my new river house and he can bring the entertainment

 

I’d probably cut the grass over at @ol'crickety’s VA estate

I once worked with a guy who got hit by a cop car in a liquor store parking lot. He sued and got 50k it was gone in a week on exactly these 2 things. (Apologies to the o.p. for the mini hijack)

First thing would probably be live scope ?

New tackle storage shed.

Same here. I’d give it away. 
 

I’ve been so poor I was homeless at one point and I’ve had mid-5 figures in my bank account (that’s a lot where I come from), and I’ve learned you experience the same spectrum of emotions with money or without. 

I'd go with a Skeeter boat, FFS, side scan, 360, best power poles, live well, batteries, trolling motor/outboard money can buy, then I'd invest the rest in gasoline and stick my butt and all my gear in that thing and go bass fishin!  

I probably wouldn't buy or build much (for myself) I'd probably just travel a lot.

*Give 25% to St Jude Research Hospital 

*Go on a ‘round the world cruise 

*Stay at Cesars Palace in Vegas for a month with a million dollar marker

*Buy a cabin in the Great Smoky Mtns. 
*Open a marina somewhere with access to Lake Okeechobee 
*Split the rest among my family and close friends.

Country boy will survive!

RELATIVITY........For the past couple of months this site has been barraged with topics which have little or nothing to do with bass fishing, right?  I sense that will change with more tolerable weather which will cure the boredom of cabin fever.
