Awesome job, Steve!

Dang I remember when I had the chance to go but wasn’t able to go to the bell years ago. Thank you Miss Fouz for doing this. As a soldier Susie effects me a couple of times a year as I lose battle buddies every year. We need to remove the stigma of mental disease and get help to the ones that really need it. I’m sry for your loss as well.

If I were to go there, what would the best logging be? What is the closest town/city?

At Camelot Bell! He has a nice cabin on the property over looking the lake.

We made a short trip up to the Bell, yesterday PM. Chris and I needed to get away, but had no idea it would end up like this. Waning full moon, and a couple warming days, were sure to bring a few big girls up shallow. Fouz caught a 13.5 and 12 on his first two casts. Yes, I hate him sometime. I caught an 8-9 lber on my first cast. Awhile later, I caught this 12.5. Chris finished our limit with a heavy six. 37.5lbs on 3. 52+ on 5. Just amazing!

Wow, great fish for some great people.

damn nice!

3 over 12#s! I'd call that a good day.

$2200!

And from the shore no less! Crazy!!!

Mike Frazier, owner of CB, and Dr. Joe fished yesterday. Mike caught this 10 and Joe caught a 13.75 and a 12. Notice Joe's 12, and my 12.5 have a bunch of eggs yet to come. Where else are you going to have a shot at fish like these AND get a full tax deduction? Do I hear $2300?

$2300.00

Yes awesome day and awesome cause!
Slight correction, middle fish there is 13.75, the first and last fish are 7 and 8 lbers. Y’all had the epic day!

Sorry, but the IRS does not allow a tax deduction for auctions, raffles or anything where you set the price on what you think it is work.

So i was debating whether or not to weigh in on this, the IRS has guidelines in regards to charity auctions (https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/charity-auctions) assuming the foundation this trip was donated to for bid is a 501(3)(c) org there is possibility of deductible charitable donations. Of course if you do not itemize you dont get a tax benefit anyways.

Doubt they worried about that deduction lol

AFSP is recognized as a 501(c)3 not-for-proit organization by the federal government. The tax ID number or EIN number for AFSP is 13-3393329.

Bid high, enjoy the trip and help the organization! Don't worry about the deduction. The charity is more at risk with the IRS and I am sure they handle it properly.

When is the trip supposed to happen?

Randy, I am sure Mr. Frazier would let you come any day the lake is not booked. Allie may know differently.

We have April 10th and 11th booked. Take your pick, or go any other day Mike has available.

Those are AWESOME days to be at Camelot Bell.

Just about 25 hours left....

Help one person, one family, one life not have to experience heartache. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention raises awareness, funds scientific research and provides aid to those affected by suicide. Bring AFSP one step closer to achieving their bold goal to reduce the suicide rate 20% by 2025.

Thank you all for your support!
Allie

11.13 caught yesterday, this fish is just shy of 4 years old!

Crazy growth rate!

The fish above was caught on the Wolfpack Lake. That's Mike's new lake N of the Camelot Bell dam. It's 30-35 acres and has water as deep as 42'. Wolfpack was stocked with 70+ giant females between 10 and 15 lbs after it flooded. Mike added 10 or 12 males between 5 and 7 lbs. The fish above was one of the original offspring from that effort.

Thanks to all who have viewed this post and bid on the trip. AFSP is a cause near and dear to both Allie and me.

Many Thanks to Mike Frazier and Camelot Bell for donating this trip. And to J.P. and the TFF for hosting this wonderful charity !!!

Chris and Allie

Thank you so much, Steve Hummert! You're a good man.

If you choose to fish April 10th or 11th, Chris and I will cook a fabulous lunch and supper for you and your guest.
Wild game, prime beef and lobster for protein. We'll figure out the rest on the fly.

You are very welcome Allie and that sounds awesome!

Will get with you and Chris and work it out for one of those days....look forward to seeing you both!

Way to go Steve! You're a good man!

Nice fish there Alli.
