I agree with Jigman.:thanks:
How about if you win you have to run the plugathon the next year...:wall:

Jigman the voice of reason.I don't have a NIB plug waaaaaa.One other thing i'm waiting till the dust settles here and see what you all decide are the rules then i will probably enrter.One other thing i don't mind losing one of my plugs to another builder i figure he might actually like my work and will trade with me in the future.

Its scary when NIB is the voice of reason. Hi Nibby:wiggle:

Who said i was the voice of reason.
How bout this angle.
U have the big fish for 2 months.U think u got it rapped up, u can almost taste the 50 some odd plugs PROMISED U..
Then The grand master angler enters 2 days later he pulls a beauty out of his butt.An u get NADA
Ya it sucks but its all within the rules.
Thats what happened to Nebe Last yr.
He was totally cool with it.he understands.
He was holdin his breath for a long time.but he had to inhale.
He had 50 plugs in his hand an now he's makin one for a guy who has thousands.
Sucks being him.Its good to be DAve.
thats the fun of it an I wouldn't have it anyother way.

I didnt care about the plugs... I was after the glory :buds:

F this.. Im out :fishslap:

Wow
 

Is it May yet?

Slip and Tagger are both great guys.... that is not disputable.

The other sites Thon did stink with a sign up in October (the day before? )the big bassy was caught.

And I felt privileged to be allowed to enter not being a builder or with a few builders offering me a chance to build a plug at their shop.

boat and shore categories with a cutoff sign up date sound good.

Peace ........................ The world is a tough enough place as it is

yeah, and get the plugs ahead a time, bunch a welchers out there :behead:

that's why I thought the winner should get to be involved the next year.

Here is a thought for a "rule" You must sign up at least one month before you can enter a fish. Now that I feel that i have contributed :hihi:

Whatever you guys want to do with it go ahead and do. PLEASE play nice and have some fun with it though. It really sucks to try to do something nice and get crapped all over while doing it... I just read thru all this stuff - I can smell the shacknasties :crying: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...ilies/fart.gif

I prefer to do it after the plugathon is over. That way, when I lose, I can make a plug specifically for the winner.

I can only imagine what people would make for me :err:

Dood I've gotten a tree branch plug an have been threaten with the doody plug.:err:

I don't understand that.why wouldn't u bet a plug to win a hole bunch.do u have problem wit the way it will be run.Which they haven't even decided yet..lets hear why.U claim ur displeasure for something thats not even a thing yet.

I make Floaters..........................

Habs - you getting my e-mails????? Got a couple in for you...

thanks

NIB, its supposed to be a fun thing. Now its all contentious. I didnt know about last years, and I dont want the aggravation of feeling others not paying up, odd entries, or whatever might/might not happen. For some folks the honor/ethical system is too much to handle.

OK, I'm in pretty much no matter what but here is my last thought on the subject, yea right.
There is an entry fee of one plug that goes to an auction to support the site and you can only enter a fish after your plug is received. Of course that means almost everyone is out two plugs...

Seems like u need a attitude adjustment..U should try to be more open minded.Who cares who pays up or not really the ones who don't know who they are .Its Bad Karma.Its all what we make it.
I have very poor ethics an almost no honor.But I get along.

NIB, you ask "why" and then tell me its my fault.?.?
You'd make someone a good wife :uhoh:

See thats funny thats why u should participate.cause its guys like u that make this site so funn/

NIB..:hihi:

Thanks for the thought but don't worry about site support with this - you guys figure out what you want to do :btu: and do it... Maybe have a cookout partly thru the year (and go fishing after) where people can bring in there plugs and have someone "organizing" hold them until prize time - just a thought ...

Can someone recap the rules so far please?. I would also like to be in this,but want to make sure im not missing anything ,like "fish must be caught in your home state only"(yes,that was a lighthearted jab at you cape cod boys) .Other than that I'm game. Home made plugs only ,correct? Also, we are going by length? or weight? as someone said "longest fish" earlier,or am i reading it incorrectly. Sorry if these are stupid questions. My point is dont make it so confusing that some new guys may feel even more intimidated.

i think the rules are loosely as follows-

longest fish wins, so weigt is not a factor.

only fish caught on your plug qualify- no plastic, Gibbs, etc..

shore fish only, or have 2 divisions - shore and boat

there will be a signup time and a cut off date to enter.

nebE :D I think one of your rules may be wrong. I believe it states custom wood. (could be made by another builder)

I'll Play................ :ss:

Thats the spirit Habs! :cheers:

ahhh ok then :D

that will allow me to use your chicken scratch pikie :devil:

forklength or tail?

Tail length, some forks are deeper than others :think::laugha:

I'm in and only have 11 days to compete.:crying: Hell, I'm gonna give some of you sucka's plugs anyway.........win or lose :rotf2:

Bernzy

I know I did'nt win cuz I never took a pic, and I'm pretty sure I entered.
Did anyone catch a fish:hs:
