Good news: GB's 40#er made the OTW list

Bad News: We dropped to 6th... But props to Newport for jumping up into 3rd

Looks like there was decision on the previous ethics /sportsmanship matter as well.

That is good to see...

I guess Major turned into a minor

tattoobob · 09-02-2006, 05:15 PM

I am hoping that there are some big fish around Cuttyhunk next weekend
so we can weigh a couple of 40 pounders in.

Our club (Newport) did in fact enter the OTW event - did it by vote as most clubs would. Many of our members (including me) do not participate for various reasons.

Well I made the decision to do it.I'm up to my neck in it now. I may as well see it through.When I saw the format I thought i would have a shot at it.I still do.Plus I made a promise to a team to participate.I know that don't mean much to some but after i kill a bunch an they back out how does that make me feel...
I counted 142-30 lbers weighed in for the tourney.I wonder how many would have been let go if NOT for the tourney.
Next yr.I will be on the side lines on this one.It's just hard to feel good about it.for a trophy...

tattoobob · 09-03-2006, 09:38 AM

I am willing to bet 125 would have met there demise

Dennis - I think he was talking about the issues regarding a particular angler that was walking away with lots of fish, Major was the last name, and that had apparently been busted by an EPO with more than the legal amount of fish to be kept.

I have not heard of anything official on that but just happened to notice that the name is absent on the OTW leader board. So logical guess is that either OTW disqualified him OR he pulled himself out of the competition....

Mike P · 09-03-2006, 10:03 AM

What I heard from an OTW staffer was that they were going to require him to submit to a polygraph exam. I'm guessing he decided to withdraw on his own. He is really concerned about the hit his reputation took---probably more concerned with that than with winning a new truck.

And as far as can be determined, he was never issued a citation for the violation. Which is what put OTW between a rock and a hard place.

NIB · 09-03-2006, 10:09 AM

Last month when i was at the canal I stopped by redtop.They had this free sportsman club newspaper in there.Had a nic big article on him in it.They mentioned his success in the tourney an also had a pic of a boat loaded with huge bass.

Thanks John. At first i thought Jim might have been confusing my opposition to this event and the fact my club is entered. Sorry for the confusion.
Jim - hope you didn't take this the wrong way.

NIB - proud of you for letting your conscious speak.

At least twice a week--usually Monday and Friday.

I see TO knocked me out of the SB top ten--it was nice seeing my name there for a month. Now, I have to sift thru the 100 other guys in the 30 pounder club

zacs · 09-02-2006, 07:52 PM

I don't know the guy, but I would have to say this fellow Gary DeCosta is a fish magnet! I would like to learn from him! Impressive.

Goose · 09-03-2006, 12:50 AM

I weighed 5 fish over #180 last month and not listed but than again after this month I bet all runner up's will have over 200.
