That is very cool!

That is awesome, I wish I could afford to bid on it.

I wish I could afford to bid too, but I can't so I think I'm gonna do the next best thing, drop what I can into one of those red buckets that the Salvation Army has set up outside one of the stores this holiday season. That story just reminded me that while I sometimes get a little down that I can't pick up a new rod or reel that I've been wishing for that's a slight inconvenience compared to what some other people are facing this holiday season. Thanks for the post Glenn. I learn something everytime I come to the forums and not always about fishing.
