[Jim Sammons LJKF]

An insane custom Jackson Kayak Fishing (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jackson-Kayak-Fishing/252785124777756) Kraken fishing package will soon be up for Auction to help support the James Lebowitz memorial scholarship fund at Cal Poly Pomona. Thanks to the generosity of Jackson Kayak, ‪#‎WernerPaddles‬ (https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/wernerpaddles?source=feed_text&story_id=10153062635259019), Raymarine (https://www.facebook.com/Raymarine), Kokatat Watersports Wear (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kokatat-Watersports-Wear/75426880393), and OEX, this is an amazing kayak ready to wack some fish. I will have more information about the auction for you soon but for now check out this video of the making of this custom boat, complete with the molded in signature of James Lebowitz. Please help us spread the word on this auction so we can let as many people know as possible.

The Auction will not begin for a week or so but I got the video this morning and just had to share. The guys at Jackson Kayak were so proud to be making this boat for James.

Jim,

Thanks for osting this with the links. And big kudos to all the sponsors working together to honor the memory of James Lebowitz.

The fish mojo was molded into that kayak.

Whoever ends up owning that Kraken will be honoring James each time on the water.
