Classic Angler Charity Auction • Jan. 16 – 22

The Classic Angler Charity Auction was held January 16-22, 2006 to restore Gulf Coast sport fisheries and fishing facilities devastated by the 2005 hurricane season.

Octagon, the world’s leader in sports and entertainment marketing teamed up with eBay, The World's Online Marketplace® and Bassmaster Classic Champions Davy Hite, Mike Iaconelli, Takahiro Omori, and Kevin VanDam to raise money for the FishAmerica Gulf Fund. Items up for bid included a bass boat, a VIP tackle box, a day on the water, and a year of wearing a corporate patch from the company of the highest bidder.

The auction raised $880 and an amazing level of interest in the FishAmerica Gulf Fund. The Gulf Fund has been featured in more than a dozen print and electronic media outlets that did not previously cover it. This support increased our ability to attract donors to the FishAmerica Gulf Fund and we thank everyone for their support.
