James Raitter was the winner of the 2003 Snake River Bassmasters, Harold Martin Memorial Classic raffle rod.  James has always been part of awarding the prizes to the lucky angler, but this year, HE was blessed with the luck!  He won a St. Croix Avid 3C70MF casting rod, complete with Fuji Alconite guides, spiral wrapped of course.  The handle consisted of a split rear grip, no foregrip and a Fuji Exposed Blank trigger reel seat.  James has been an "avid" supporter of the Snake River Bassmasters, Idaho BASS Federation and other activities.  Good luck with that new rod, James!
