I bet if stevek held out that fish as far as eben did it would look like a 55 pounder-of course he'd also have a hernia but....fame, glory etc

Whoever guesses the weight will win one plug made by me:D

disclamer... friends of mine who actually know the wieght are not elegable

LMFAO :laughs:

Eben, you out of plugs already? :fishslap:

Guess 18#

Awww, come on, Steve's first 40 pounder -v- Eben's Rat Bass :laughs:

hi Bill :wavey:

Looks like the little hobbitses pulled on his jacket just for the photo op.

Nice Logo placement for marketing, ebeb, but a standard marketing blunder is at the bottom of the shot... hes wearing what appear to be a pair of Dockers!!

(wonder if he's got a pair of loafers on too!!)




(I hope that wasnt staged...)

if this is a eben monkey pile ,let me know so I can get on the right side:laughs:

you'd like that capeboy :yak6: :yak6: :yak6:

I'm with the guys that are for picking both of em. Come on Aquaskinz. Cough it up !

39 lbs ?

:scatter:

SO far nobody has guessed the correct weight. And, I'd be happy to split the plugs with Steve K(his fish is bigger:hihi:)

23

37 pounds?:huh:

26 pounds Mr Frodo Please.

-spence

This has nothing to do with Aquaskinz - the company - something I'm doing on my own... OK - split the 2 plugs from me to one a piece but the vote count winner will get the Bubblegum if B.P. still has it :hihi:

Come on, Steve's fish is almost twice the size as Docker Boy's

BTW - 22 pounds is my guess as that still doesn't hurt to outstretch your arms for a pic :doh:

That heads gotta be on something bigger than 22 lbs.

Aw come on John. Get them to give free swag our way :crying: :crying:


:claps: :claps:

That heads gotta be on something bigger than 22 lbs. we guessin the fish or the fisher?:D

PS ARE THOSE KAKIS UR WEARING WITH THAT TOP?

Jeez maybe you guys are right. On second look the fish is under 30 lbs. And Eben standing behind it makes it look even smaller :laughs:

go Buy one

32.5 lbs

Hey Dave, Go #### Yourself. Anyone for a free VanStal?

Sorry Flap, bad trend by all of us (including myself :eek5: )

Eben, 11#'s?

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner!

Yes, the moose I am holding only weighted in at 10.9 lbs. When I got it on dry land I was sure I had a fish that was well above 20 lbs. It had a huge head, and a bug saggy belly, but its digestive system was totally empty-

Toby wins a plug..:D

Yeah, and it was my waders leaking, too....but that's my story and I'm sticking to it :tooth:

Hey, regarding the contest, Eben it was the now-classic 'thrusting-the-fish-at-the-lens' trick that got me - fine display of the 'Skinz logo, though, from a professional POV -

And I like the 'I've been on a bass-bender for a month' look:hihi:...

11# beats 40# :eek: :doh:

Eben, you've got a new nickname -- "Extend-A-Ho" :hihi:

Ebens fish is touching the lens:D

E..
Was that the lil guy caught the day I saw you near my house and we met a guy from NJ?
And empty you're PM's

It does not matter to me if we split the plugs. I am just happy that I got my first 40.:)

Eben is disqualified for using trick photography and using a wide angle lens:laughs:

trick photography??:confused: Who said standing 5 feet behind a bass is trick photography??

Hound, yes that was the bass.

Thought so... 11 may have been stretching it a bit :D :D :smash:

If we are voting for the best view of the logo , its Eben. If we are voting for the best fish wearing Aquaskins , its pretty obvious its Steve K. I vote Steve K. Nice fish!!!

Hard to believe an 11 pound fish could be made to look so big using photo trickery!!

well eben has quite a bit of practice at it:laughs:

i think saltheart nailed it. obviously the better fish is the 40#er, but the better 'Skinz logo shot is Eben's BEAST. by the way, 11#'s.......... :laughs:

Sounds like it was a stretch to get to 11 too :laughs: Eben - do you suffer from elbow tendinitis now?

hey now ...:laughs:

:cool:

thats tooo funny to think thats the same fish I would quit whyle I was ahead and left those ones in the shoebox under the bed........man u must have long arms :p :p :p

ps any fish is a good fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

long arms??
he looks like a blonde monkey standing up straight
if you look at his thumbs you'll know why the ladies love him
LL Cool Eben

Posted this where I didnt need to, was being funny, why eat up bandwidth for an old fish :smash:

OK - executive decision - split the plugs :hihi:

Steve - PM me your address and I'll get something out to you...

Eben - I'll see you ini person you fish stretcher :smash:

John r has made his decision and it seems a wise one...The contest was for best picture not best fish but then again we are looking for good pics of skinz....

As far as the bubblegum Mambo goes...john R says both get it, then both get it...Steve's fish was bigger so he chooses which half I send him:rolleyes: :smash:

PM me two adresses and I will send one to each:happy:

thank you basic patric!:D:

Thanks guys.
