Seriously? Do you know what that works out to be!!!

$1,000,000.00 / 50 years = 200,000.00 per year

$200,000 per year / 12 months in a year = $1,666.67 per month

Normally you get paid twice per month, unless you work for the state or some other once a month company. So......

$1,666.67 per month / 2 times per month = $833.34 per check twice a month.

Two week pay period

$833.34 / 2 weeks = $416.67 per week

40 hour work week

$416.67 / 40 = $10.42 per hour.

The math don't lie!!!!

The thing is, I wouldn't mind someone giving me an extra 1,600/month...I'm OK with that as it's a decent bump in the cash flow for the next 50 years.

However, the odds were astronomical because not only did one have to catch the correctly tagged fish, but if I recall correctly, in order to collect the million, it also had to be caught in the correct order among all the tagged fish caught...something like the 3rd tagged fish caught during the contest. That chance is near nil.

Crap! I'm out off the running because I don't even know how to use the stuff.;)

It's OK Jim, even those of us who do know how to use it have a hard time catching steelhead. I'm about ready to throw out all my gear and go to the dark side permanently! .......... No not yet! :lol:

Opps, my bad. I meant to type in 20,000.00 in both instances above, but typed in 200,000.00. Yet I calculated everything by 20,000.00 on my calcamapater. Just a little typo on my end. :lol:

but still, that is crazy that they expect to have people chasing fish for a promo that really doesn't exist (the fish doesn't exist) or is near impossible to catch.

the things some companies will do just to get a buck. What ever happened to good old elbow grease, a good name that was earned by good hardwork, honest customer relationship and service, as well as a sound product. Oh how priorities have changed in just the last 50 - 60 years. Sad, so sad. :(

Cabelas did one up on their million dollar prize. If you caught the prize fish using Cabela's trademarked line, pole and lures the prize would DOUBLE! Woo Hoo!!!

as some of you may know, Pautzke bait company is offering a 10,000 prize to Oregon and Idaho anglers that break the current state records for steelhead ( Or, 35.8 lb in 1973 Idaho 30.3 lb in 1970 both natives ) with their bait, only hatchery fish count... in washington 28lbs wins you $5000... so with such a realistic, not at all a ****ing gimmick contest halibuthitman wants to get in on the action... soooo, I will give 1 trillion dollars to anyone who breaks these records with a hatchery fish in the same time period... no wait... I will give the d-bags at Pautzkes 1 trillion dollars if anyone breaks one of these records by lets say... hhhmmmm 2.5 lbs? wow pautzkes.. what a joke of a promo:rolleyes:
