Fun is fishing with my buddies and all of us catching fish! We don't care who gets the biggest fish or who gets the most fish.....its just fun to watch each other catching fish! I am not competitive when it comes to fishing and I only registered for a shot at winning the boat! So....all the rest of it really does not matter to me.....its the good will of fishing together and the good time at the Harpoon Brewery and a shot at possibly winning a boat that matters to me!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Well,
thats why I dont fish with guys like that BD.
My 'circle of trust' is small, and consists of guys more interested in the pursuit than the cup or any other tourney. |

that's cool, Bryan...........
point well taken, and it will prolly take me
several more years, God Willing, to arrive
at the Zen side of our pursuit, although~~
i DO get it, and i DO love the chase. i guess
i'm just NOT embracing the genteel side, quite yet,
*which COULD explain many of my monstah mishaps!!*

Well, from what I hear from Jake and Elwood Jude lately, you do a lot of pursuin', Bry 
Gotta be a blood feud goin' on here - I guess they took umbrage at something or other...  |

This is interesting to say the least. I have to tread lightly here with my comments. I've never been a fan of this tourney but to their credit OTW has tried to improve it over the years. For the first time this season I just checked the club standings. I'm somewhat surprised that a few of my home fishing club members(and some past members) are also members of the team in question. Not that THEY did anything wrong... but as a club president I'm somewhat concerned when my fellow members are (albeit only by association) on a "team" involved in controversy. I've dealt with my share of controversies - nothing good comes from them and if they are substantiated it reflects poorly on a "recreational" organization.

To be honest Dennis, I'm somewhat surprised to see you go down this road. Not only are you aware Sean is not a member of the club but there is also the fact that your implications may rub some of the members the wrong way. Perhaps this is a subject that would be better discussed at a meeting or in a newsletter. I would guess there are some folks you are associated with that have made poor decisions in the past. If you decided to abandon them as a result of poor judgement so be it. I can't see a personal friend of the accused turning their back on him as a result of the allegations. Nor do I anticipate a member sponsoring Sean for membership. I would venture to guess no one would have even put the pieces together unless you had brought it up. If you are afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Newport Club perhaps more discretion would be advised.
