KaBar Fish Knife Giveaway *WINNER is oilburner*

thanks for the opportunity.

My girlfriend and i started fishing together a few years back in New Hampshire as an outdoors activity we could do together, and maybe put some food on the table while we're at it. She is a sushi and fish fanatic so I wanted her to try some North American delicacies. Fishing the CT river from the NH and VT banks and from a boat, we spent the whole summer trying for smallmouth and trout, just basic spinning reel stuff. We'd go out with just our poles, some worms, a pocketful of hooks, and a cooler. I landed some smaller specimens here and there, nothing to write home about, but for me it was about the fun of fishing with ehr and hiking the 1.5mi or so to our favorite spot on the river. But despite the best preparation she just could not get a fish landed no matter how many weekends we went out. I saw bigger trout than anything I hit that summer bite then break her line (bad knot? line too light? probably both!) come away unscathed having eaten the worm, or any number of other mishaps. Finally on the last day she hit and lost a large river trout and I got the same fish about ten minutes later. Panko and pan fried trout fillet tastes even better when you pull it out of the water yourself. And she's raring to go for next year when she can start trying again.
 
Awesome giveaway!

I went fishing with my dad early in the season this year. No one was getting anything and we were all getting frustrated. My dad put on a new lure I just got the day before. First cast with the lure and got nothing. But as he was just about to pull it out of the water a big bass got hooked on it. He fought with it for a minute and was able to get it out of the water for me to reach. Just as I grabbed his huge mouth he shook and I swear my whole body shook with him. My thumb slipped off his mouth and down in the water he went. Biggest bass my dad and I saw all year!

COOL! I'm on my phone right now, working out of town in Auburn NY this week. I went fishing in cold crazy weather yesterday for about 40 min in the Owasco river after work, and I spent over an hour in Bass Pro Shops fishing section tonight. I can assure you, this knife will be appreciated! I will email you shortly... I can't believe my luck on this one, thanks agai Mark.
n!
 
The T75 was mailed out today. Please let us know how it works out for you Mark. :thumbup:
 
Nate...what a great giveaway...thank you and well done, Oilburner...congrats Sir!...nice knife.
 
I'm out of town quite a bit, but thankfully, I got to come home tonight before leaving for the week and there's a box in the mail! I recieved the knife! It's even nicer in person than in the pictures. I'll be working up in the Adirondacks this week, so I'm going to take it with me and hopefully find a place to wet a line and take some pictures while I'm up there. Thanks Nate!!
