Seems kinda weird that it not be Hab's plugs only.
Sorry, not trying to mess up a good thing.
Maybe a Hab's plug caught category?

your choice Steve
but rest easy, because I for one will be using Habs  |

Steve,
The organizers of this thing are up against a time constraint this year. Trying to keep it simple and not so big. When things are big you need a large staff to run it. I'm sure the format can (and will) be tweaked in the future to include special catagory's, divisions, etc.
Priority now is to remember John and raise some funding to finance a memorial in his honor.

What Dennis said.
Also, please feel free to re-read the opening post in this thread.
All of it, including the quote below.

Steve, I'm not sure if I'm the only one who will be in the tourney that actually does not own a Habs plug. And I know there aren't any to be given away or purchased at a reasonable price. That being said, I'll be throwing the one Habs, Jr I got. |

great idea in theory. but it opens up too much speculation and he said / she said crap about who was using eels, etc. also, lots of people don't have habs plugs. lots of john's friends fish out of boats too.
i'm looking forward to this. got a house to stay at in middletown for the weekend (wife's aunt and uncle just headed to florida today). just hope i can get out of work in time on friday to make it down to the meet and greet. |

It's all good, bassballer 
Stevie is da man - and from the start the whole point of the Habs tourney was gonna be fun, good sportsmanship and a good reason to get together to remember a great guy.
Issues? Hey, we don't have no stinkin' issues 
Good luck to ya, see ya this weekend |

GOOD LUCK to all fishing in the Hab's tourney. I wish I had not made a commitment prior to this event. Enjoy some laughs and good times and think of John when you let one rip.

thanks for the support guys this is all going to work out for the better, we had a son a month into our relationship and tried to make things work but it just wasnt meant to be. just trying to keep things civil between the two of us so matthew wont grow up in a bad situation and to stop things from getting worse while we have to be involved with eachother for the next 18 years no matter what
