If you like high-quality seafood and supporting your friendly local gun forum, then I have just the thing for you! I have set up a PIF Raffle for some fresh fish from Hawaii. There will be 2 prizes:

Prize #1:
Approximately 5 lbs of fresh, natural, wild, longline caught, high-grade ahi tuna loin (skin & bloodline removed)

Image

This is a real treat, ladies & gentlemen. I have asked one of my long-time colleagues in Honolulu to hand pick a high-quality ahi tuna loin just for me. This is what we refer to as our 03 grade Ahi, which is above-average quality intended specifically for raw applications. We charge our more discerning restaurant & hotel customers a premium for this product, so you won’t be disappointed. It’ll be a beautiful red color with firm texture, making it perfect for anything you want to make – sashimi, tartare, poke, seared steaks, or all of the above.

Prize #2:
Approximately 3 lbs of fresh, natural, wild, longline caught Opah (Moonfish) fillet (skin removed)

Image

Opah is one of my favorite species of fish in the entire ocean. It’s an unusual-looking fish, but the meat quality is awesome and it holds longer than most other fish. Again, the fillet will be hand-picked for maximum quality and freshness. It’s fantastic on the grill because it holds together and retains moisture well – perfect for a nice dinner on a hot summer night!

Here’s how the PIF raffle will work:
  • Raffle tickets are $5 each. Buy as many as you like - all the money will go to WaGuns! :wagwoot: To enter, click on the ‘Donate’ link above and submit your donation to the site, and reply below in this thread with “In for ___ entries”. In the notation line on PayPal, please put your username and indicate that this is for the PIF/Raffle. Entries also count towards gaining Site Supporter status!
  • Entries will be accepted until Thursday 8/2 at 9 PM. At that time, the thread will be locked while I compile and validate the entries with the site admins.
  • The drawing will take place on Friday 8/3 at 11 AM using random.org. I will randomize the list 7 times. The member whose name is at the top will have first pick of the prizes, and the member whose name is 2nd from the top will be entitled to the remaining prize. If one or both of the initial winners are not available to pick up their fish, or if they elect to pass on it, the option will be presented to the next names in the list until prizes have been claimed.
  • I will place the order with my office in Honolulu on Friday 8/3 to have it delivered to my house in Edmonds on Saturday 8/4 by 10:30 AM. The winner will need to claim their fish from me in or near Edmonds before the weekend is out (by Sunday 8/5 at 9 PM). I may be able to meet elsewhere depending upon how far I would have to drive.
  • Winners – if you can’t claim your prize by Sunday night, I recommend passing your prize on to another member who can. After all, this isn’t a gun or ammo with infinite shelf life; fish doesn’t get better with time!

I’m hoping to raise as much money for the site as possible while also giving members a shot at some unique (and deeply discounted) prizes. Let’s do this! Good luck :cheers2:

Ok, I'm in for 1. :hook1:

Wasn't given an opportunity to add a notation of screen name.
I guess that will sort itself out (or it won't...)

Nice PIF

I copied that text from a previous PIF Raffle, so perhaps it doesn't quite work that way anymore. Either way, I'll make sure your name is in the list. :thumbsup2:

Sorry. I won't win, don't worry. I already said it's not rigged.

Try to give them your money and they scream epithets. Who knew? :gibbs:
