We won a photo contest on a forum called HSO or "fishingminnesota"

We won with that photo last season and my boy was to receive an ice fishing rod and reel from a sponsor at the website.

But....

They banned my ass from the site, permanently banned over a little ribbing and joking that wouldn't raise an eyebrow on this site.

So, they never came through with the fishing rod and reel for my kid either. I used a "contact us" feature on the site explaining that my kid had won this prize and gave them my contact info in case they wanted to get his fishing rod to him. No response.

I have several friends still on that site that have inquired on my behalf about my boy's prize, no response.

Some of the Midwest US members here may be familiar with HSO, and they probably wouldn't be surprised.





Something clever here.
