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.

Goose · 09-02-2006, 06:22 PM

Anyone know how often they update standings

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.

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.

eelman · 09-03-2006, 10:11 AM

Major still caught his fish................

NIB · 09-03-2006, 10:17 AM

I agree 100 percent.Said it all along.com or not he got his fish..I feel he was being unfairly scrutinized.

I liked your 1st response better

You charmer you

I think many people did care because of the tourney. The guy can catch fish is for sure.

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.

Dennis

eelman · 09-03-2006, 11:43 AM

Doesnt matter he caught large with a hook and line..........everyone wants to jump all over everyone else....jealousy and a sick need to see the guy tossed under the bus..until something happens to them...what comes around goes around, I would hate to have anyone here on my jury....seems most here love to see there fellow man "caught" or nailed or whatever..Mistakes happen people are human, what he did was no big deal. His fish should count.

what I said before was what I will say again, to many of you are wayyyyyyyyyy to wraped up in this tourney and so worried about what the "other" guys is doing.....Who the %$%$%$%$ cares........

tattoobob · 09-03-2006, 11:49 AM

We are 79.29 points from 1st place, all we need it 2 40 pound fish or to take the lead come on Cuttyhunk I am hoping it produces some nice fish this coming weekend. we have 14 days to take the lead over

Many people care Bill.... would you want to play poker with someone for money that you know cheats? The guy is an awesome fisherman but how he got to that level matters to many of us.

To each his own.

A place I will probably never step foot in, it is always good to see you team win. we don't have a meeting house so where ever the captain puts it is ok with me.

JohnR · 09-03-2006, 12:25 PM

Bill - why is it that half the time when you see something you don't agree on you call it jealousy? You think people are jealous of Major?

The guy allegedly had 6 bass in his boat when he could legally have two - where is the jealousy?

"Mistakes happen people are human, what he did was no big deal. His fish should count."

How is having 6 fish in a boat a mistake? What he did is a big deal. If this is not true his fish should not count.

Why John? because who are you to judge or anyone for that matter? How do you REALLY know what happened??? until its ironed out in court or wherever, the guy isnt guilty of anything, it could have very well have been some type of mistake... misunderstanding, or a host of other things.......

Point Two, why do I say its jelousy? because of things like whats under your name..."changing my name to tony" there are more reasons but hey that makes my point, now I know you did that to be funny and all but, its just the constant talk of comms have an advantage etc... no they do not.....they fish with rod and reel like anyone else, they dont "cull" as much as everyone here would have people think, no one tosses money over the side just to get a pin....

let me see:

"its not fair" I have seen that here so many times it needs to be in the dear abby column
