Winners:If you're a winner,
I've private messaged you already and just need an address to send your jigs. Everyone has a week to get your address in. If you don't send your address within a week, we'll move onto the consolation names I drew.
ETXCrappie was first consolation and Fooshman was second. I can't imagine more than two people not claiming their prize, but if that happens, we'll draw more names.
Everyone Else:The other thread was closed because people were still trying to enter the Thanksgiving giveaway and already trying to enter the Christmas giveaway. I'll host a Christmas giveaway for sure and maybe a New Years giveaway. You'll only be able to enter those in their respective threads (not yet posted).
The Christmas entry will be 12/20-12/24, if all goes as planned. Didn't anticipate that many people (109 TFFers) entering so maybe we'll give out more winners for Christmas...
Really hated closing that other thread, especially with all the nice words spoken on my jigs, but it was about to get messy (confusing) and closing the thread seemed best.
