SWEET

So Happy for You Bud!!! We were suppose to Fish Last Year .. then This Year ..now with a new Boat not sure if I will see ya or not..let alone your Fee probably went up now. Surely there are a lot of guys wanting to break their Brand New Boat in on Fork @ Night . Way To Go FishVibes!!! Happy you won a boat knowing you will put it to use, and how much you love and respect this crazy sport we can't enough of on this Forum.

Super cool, congrats!

Congratulations...

Way to go!

awesome job we seen ya there ..where can I get some of those shoes?

On Amazon.com

Again thank everyone!!

Started from the bottom now I’m here!

Still hard to believe I walked away with a new boat! Topping over 1100 great fishermen to win the 2nd place prize!!

My motivational saying IS ”NEVER GIVE UP!

If you put you your all into whatever it is that you enjoy doing, Great things will manifest from the hard work you put in!

Nice upgrade.

did you fish the tournament in the Sears V-Hull without a big motor & just a trolling motor ?

Congrats man!! That is awesome!! What a deserved upgrade!

No I fished with someone else

Well.,.... it is a great story
BUT
It would have been legendary had you done it out of the Sears v-hull with only a trolling motor. I could have been your ghost writer for a great book.

Yes that would’ve been an awesome story.. but it was caught out of a SKEETER!

And he got an interview with Fish Fishburne over the sandals, didn't you?

Yes I did

Congrats D, now go tell Kathy to fill it up with Tackle. LOL
Proud of ya man!

Mama Kathy takes good care of me on the tackle lol

And thank you!

Where's the story man? Not the abbreviated one from the Basschamps site....the full story....

Come on...

It’s was about 7:30 and the rain,wind and cold had me ready to give up! But the sun came out and we trolled over to a bank full of lily pads, I made 2 long cast to the back of a Heavily padded dock.. and BAM she smoked the new powerbait frog,, stilll can’t believe I won!

Congrats to you sir!

Congrats.A buddy of mine told me you were in the lead and we were rooting for you over the weekend.

Wow! Congrats. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

That is freaking awesome right there. Congrats FV

Congrats FV, super happy for you!

Congrats, awesome boat

Thank you everyone... the Zx190 is covered and ready for storage..

I’ll break it in real good after I fish the Bass Champ tv challenge in December

Tight lines!

I love my 190, fishes 2 people great and is a very nimble boat around docks and brush/timber. I’m happy for you and looking forward to the basschamps series. Also a shout out to a good organization to make this happen for you. They are good people for sure!

Congratulations. Way to go guy.

That's way too cool!!!! Congrats FV!!!!

Awesome!! So happy for you!

You need to put that girl in a garage or atleast under a carport.

She’s going to a garage today.

Also.....

Start putting back money for the taxes on the value for the IRS and the taxes on the registration. If that was not included in the deal. You don't want to get "caught out" by a surprise that might spoil the awesome feeling of winning a boat.

Like others have said above..it is a great boat. I have one very close to it......although I actually had to BUY MINE...dammit.

Very good point. You don't just pay a sales tax on a boat you win, you pay income tax on the fair market value of the boat, as if you worked for that money.

Which means on an approximate $30k boat, Uncle Sam may be wanting anywhere between $4,500 - $7,500 in April, depending on what income tax bracket you land in. Get some tax help if you need it.

Congrats on the boat man! Very awesome that you won it!

Thank you guys for the insight! I’m waiting on the paper works from Bass Champs and I have tax preparer ready to work her magic!

Until then Its going in the storage and getting broke In when I return from filming the Bass Champs tv Challenge!

I have some offers on the vhull.. and if push come to shove I’ll just dip into my savings account and cover some of the cost!

Thanks for the idea.. “RedDuke” will be on the water very soon!

Make sure to write off expenses. You should be able to knock quite a bit of that amount. Congrats!

PM me your address Vibes and I'll send you a TFF hoodie to wear in that new boat.

These hoodies are real nice, I have a couple, blk & gray..

I sent you pm j.p thank you!

Didn't know there was TFF hoodies! Good to know
