I have news for You, in june You were beat
Its bad enuff i hate sol dont make me run from here any faster than i am,
I still like You You bum
i won that 3 time ahh think there is a tad chance i know how to fish?
not that I want to anymore

can i enter twice then?

Everyone make sure to stretch your fish by hanging it by its jaw :uhuh: you know kinda like how in some events you dunk your fish in a barrel before weighing it... :smokin:

BM win both that would be funny :vamp:

Actually i am out. I want nothing to do with it. :hs:

:wave: puss...

I think your a comercial guide slaughtering recreational fishers,, that last minute sign up over there smells funny.. Its only a lousy plug,, I don't care about that.. I snap them off and watch them sail away and shed no tears. fishing time for me comes after work/overtime/more work/working on house/kids stuff ,,like most the others .Your a guide and fish everyday.. These things are starting to look like the sheep being herded for the wolf.. I'm out of all these things forever,, not sour grapes .. Just sick of being a sucka ,,like you called everyone over there,, you think this is an honest contest... I spit the truth ,,so flame on.. :smokin:

[QUOTE=bassmaster]I have news for You Its bad enuff i hate sol dont make me run from here any faster than i am,

With all that SOL did for you and your family and this is the way you talk about us. Never again Dave.

Just a suggestion
 

How about if you win you get the priveledge of being one of three judges/ organizing comitee members, each with a three year term, ineligible for the tournament. For the first three years there would have to be appointed judges who should be eligible.
People who did not send their plugs would not be eligible to enter and you, as a former winner and recepient of a gadzillion plugs, would know who they are.
I would be happy with that and please remember that this should be fun.

Is that your opinion? Or am I supposed to take offense to that statement? because that REALLY sounds like a dig to me and it pisses me off. I don't need this $#!* You don't know me tagger, you have no idea.

I don't know what the heck is going on here but if the way this thread is heading is any indication, then you can all just forget about it. I'm disgusted:yak6:
I try to do something I thought would be fun, we were just working out the parameters and some make jokes and then others chime in and take things wrong, then accusations fly and insults and people who are normally friendly with each other are pissing and moaning.:splat:

If I feel like it, i'll get back to this subject in the future but I have no time for this crap now.
I'm leaving the ball with you guys, have fun:gu: :walk:

thanks for the suggestion but we were trying to keep this simple.
apparently that can't happen with this forum. I'll keep it in mind but judges are out, this is supposed to be the honor system. I appreciate your reply :)

I wish it was fun but some people are taking the fun right out of it so I'll just shutup.

maybe I should have asked Guzz and Jigman how to handle this .....

no wonder I don't enter tournaments anymore.:wall:

...y

Im in :rolleyes:

Sorry slip,

Im in

Slip maybe I used the wrong word when I said Judges.
These were the problems I saw when I read thru the thread:
Problem #1) I won one of these and did'nt get all my plugs.
Solution #1) The following year(s) I, as a former contest champion, get to say who is in or out only for failure to pay up.
Problem #2) In someones opinion, the winner waited to enter until they caught a big fish.
Solution #2) Cut off date
Problem #3) Boat or surf
Solution #3) This is a tough one and I would say don't worry about it, the most you can be out is a plug and revisit it if it becomes a problem. Although I have to admit I voted for surf only.
Problem #4) The same guy always wins
Solution #4) You can't enter the next year(s) if you win but you do get to be da Judge, kibbitz and harrass guys who default on their plug debt. Maybe one year is the way to go. What we don't want is a contest where people don't enter because they know Mister X is gonna win.

Yes Slip thats my opinion,, sorry your pissed ,,but you sound kinda threatning ,, whats all this ,, "you don't know me " stuff..

Too many cooks Slip...set the rules yourself or with the help of one or two others and if folks want to play then fine....if not....screw em!:wall:

exactly what it means since you have the wrong impression of me.
You can think whatever you want but you are extremely wrong about this being a case of sheep being herded to the wolf. Not threatening at all. If you don't know what you are talking about , then maybe you shouldn't say it. I don't know what I ever did to deserve that accusation. Anyone who does know me, knows the truth.

Did you read my post where I said this on page one?

" BTW Nebe, he didn't find a big pod of fish or hear of it, he is just THAT good and had a horseshoe up his you know what. He also shouldn't be allowed in this contest"

sorry I'm pissed? :huh: well how the hell do you think I'd feel?:wall:


If you really think I would let Dave in this competition, you're way off base. I only signed up over on the other site last year because he was not in it. There should have been a cutoff date and I am sending a plug to Eben.

you do it asteroid champ

Nope! Not me!:doh:

I think I do know you Slip,, I personally like you and think you are a great guy,,a very nice person, a family man and you are a very giving person all the the stuff you have set up at your house and the other thing in middleborro . Thats what I honestly (no butt swabbery) think of you . I don't think you are a sheep herder,, Ok ? You hate me ? I getting older and caring less about that stuff.. I'll leave it at that so you know exactly what I think of you .. The other stuff,, I meant.

I like the tinman.......:)

Eddie
call me or PM me your number please, your pm's are full

hold on. lets rewind.

I would like to clarify something. The other plugathon has no rule about waiting to sign up mid season, so BM had every right to sign up when he did. Furthermore, TT and Jigman were there to confirm the catch.. Not once have i said that BM didnt win fair and square.. All i am saying is that by waiting till he felt the right moment to pull of a victory put himself in a position to catch flack. I got about 12 PMs over there asking me why i didnt contest it... I know we all know BM and hes a great guy, but look at it this way- what if some one we didnt know signed up for the plugathon and entered a winning fish that night??? it would probably be thrown out.. or at least it would draw serious doubt.
I only brought up the topic originaly because the rules of that plugathon are somewhat loose to say the least. Firm rules, which so far looks like we have all suggested, will lead to a healthy compitition.

SO what i am saying here in a nutshell is lets have a cutoff date thats all... Im not saying that BM cheated &I am not saying he shouldnt have won, because the way the rules are, he won fair and square..

So slip, send BM his winning plug and i will send him a plug of mine when i finnish my next batch...

I should have phrased it" I will send Nebe a plug also"
I am still giving you and Chum and BM a plug Nebe :) cuz you deserve it that's all.

Tagger and I smoothed things over.

go back to making plugs now
sorry

thanks bruce. I will send you a plug as well :rolleyes:

:jester: Game ON!

:love: Love is in the air....thick like sawdust!:bl:

Make up plug building is always the best:love:

i dont want to flame, i men if your sore then sorry
i had a group of people with me and i sniffed out the fish,
I cant help it if im the only one in a group hooking up.
I enjoy fishing with alot of people and ahhh no not every day, i go when i go.
please dont tell me when i fish
You people are true sportsmen, Your luck I dont own a boat anymore lmao
............................
a charlston, my familys last name is manzi, so hit the road

hit the road!? Thanks dave! :wave: I appreciate it. Jerk!

How about we solve the "Who's in" problem by saying "Everybody's in"?
Start a "Post Your Fish Pic" thread and let Bruce (if he wants to) be the judge at the end of 2006. Every SB member is in...No sign up or cut off date needed. Just post pic of fish being measured with plug in mouth.
What do ya think? Lets make this fun, not WAR.

:wave: Dave's the voice of reason. :eek5:

Just an idea,,,toss it around if you like:D

How about a $5.00 or 10.00 fee . The 5 dollars per person would go towards a nice trophy . Kind of like my football league . Each year the person's
name would be added. John would hold on to the trophy on top of his server..lol the winner would also send john the plug he got his fish on, witch would hang off the trophy. A picture of the trophy with the plug and name of person year etc, could be posted on the front page of S-B .
02. cents
VB

That's cause I haven't had any :gu: :gu: yet.:wiggle:

ah

flush this crap till spring..

Second that.

how about no fish from mass allowed :hihi:

Dave won fair an square.At first I thought he caught the fish then signed up an I was wrong.Ebbie nocked me off an when i was fishin wit him he asked if it would hold up i said i don't know its usually a cape fish that takes it.Dave fishes the land of the large he knows whats goin on up there as he's mental about it.Thats a tough cookie to beat.One of the best on our boards.So next yr if u sign up keep that in mind.No one twist ur arm to join the competition.Its just a plug.So it should be friendly.Like Me...

The beauti of it is I now owe dave a plug....
Boy I better get busy...
I'm gonna give matt one of his own back...
Its only a plug.Dave sets the bar its up to some one else to knock him off.If u do then its all the much better.I personally would not like a competition that would ommit some of the best anglers.wheres the sport in that.I wanna beat the best.

Set the rules up in advance. Less arguements that way. Those who are will to play by those rules can enter. Those that don't, shut up and stay off the thread. If you ask for rules, you'll end up :wall: and pulling your hair out.

You are always going to catch some chit when setting up any kind of contest. Its unfortunate that too many people want to take these things waaaaay to seriously. They are only meant as friendly competitions. A way of getting folks to have more confidence in throwing their own stuff and have a little fun at the same time. Hell, I entered the ones on SOL knowing in advance that I did not have a snowball's chance in hell of winning (short plugging season, and I don't get the size fish most surf guys get). Same as others in those contests. So what, its just a plug. I figure its all in fun and at the end, I'll send a plug to a friend :uhuh: Don't know why people gotta grip so much about sending a plug to a friend.

Oh, and you'll have to allow boat fish in this plugathon cause there is no shore fishing for stripers down here :wall: Unless of couse no one wants one of my plugs :rotf2:
