I have known James Biggs since he joined his first Bass fishing club before he was old enough to drive. Through the years James has risen through the ranks of amateur anglers. He recently won the World Series of Bass Series on ESPN and took second in the FLW National Championship. With these accomplishments, he has been invited to fish with the FLW Tour as a touring pro.
James is a Firefighter/EMT, father, husband, and great guy. Tournament costs to fish across the nation are upwards of $38000.00. All of his funds are from private donators and he has already raised 32K of the necessary funds. He needs some help. He is doing two separate things in an effort to secure the funds. First is that he basically sold shares of his success. He is selling 380 shares at $100 each. All of James' winnings (tournaments pay $10,000.00 for 50th place) will be split 380 ways and paid to the shareholders after each tournament until such a time as each investor has recovered their initial investment, after which he will pay 50% of his winnings to his investors throughout the season.
He is also willing to do a raffle for a guided trip to one of three great lakes in the area for some lucky winners. All tackle will be supplied. Raffle tickets would be $25 and the winner(s) will be able to arrange the date of the trip with James. He's a great guy to fish with and a very very good and accomplished angler. Nobody will be disappointed.
I would not normally do anything like this here unless I felt really strongly about it. This has been his dream since childhood and anyway I can help him achieve it, I will do.
Below are some links to his fan page. Check out the videos of him in action.
Thanks for taking the time to read the long ass post and any and all help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
