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...
