Vincent Rinando OK staffer from Texas raffles kayak off for PIF

Vincent Rinando.......Hey I bought a pink lady caper cancer yak today from our original pro staffers Robert Harvey today...with a OK seat and Carlisle paddle. I plan to raffle it off for Joel's benefit...We have a redfish tournament here in Galveston in 2 weeks and I am going to try and do it at that event....I'm not fishing this one...we missed the 1st event due to my wreck and we have one next weekend so my regular partner isn't going to travel from Corpus Christi for the one in 2 weeks...can you help me coordinate getting the funds to the right people once I collect them? I plan to use paypal on our website and cash sales at the tourney to drive the fund....

This is from A friend of mine on the Ocean Kayak Pro fishing staff. This is so cool. More to come on this one.

PS....... VInce was involved in a terrible car crash a few months ago. He was creamed by another driver and his new car totaled. He is recovering well. Friend him on Facebook and tell him thanks if you wouldnt mind. Craig

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is so cool....thank you Craig for spreading the word!!!

When I get home tonight and can get on FB I will let Vincent know how much I appreciate his help and support!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

Thanks to Tom Stubblefield of http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/ and Benny Landrum of Xtreme Redfish Trail tournament series...and an old friend and original Ocean Kayak prostaffer Robert Harvey...I was able to get this put together in a very short time.....we have a slightly used...and if you know Harv...you'd know...slightly used pink lady caper, seat, and carlisle paddle that we are going to raffle off at the next redfish tournament held in the Galveston area on June 18....I have a paypal account setup and link for donations for the raffle setup...you guys and gals continue to donate locally...unless you want to pay to ship this kayak to Cali...    I will coordinate with Craig Davis to get (yall  ) the funds before your event...wish I could be there to enjoy your weather...it hit 102' at my house yesterday..and it's only rained once since Feb...going be brutal fishing after 10am for a while ...

Seriously though, your willingness to come up and help us here is just off the charts. Im going to be in Texas next weekend. I just wish it was closer to where you guys are. I will be in Bonham north of Dallas. Thanks again Vince. Craig
