[ThrowingTimber]

Everyone make sure to stretch your fish by hanging it by its jaw you know kinda like how in some events you dunk your fish in a barrel before weighing it...

BM win both that would be funny

[Nebe]

Actually i am out. I want nothing to do with it.

[ThrowingTimber]

I think your a comercial guide slaughtering recreational fishers,, that last minute sign up over there smells funny.. Its only a lousy plug,, I don't care about that.. I snap them off and watch them sail away and shed no tears. fishing time for me comes after work/overtime/more work/working on house/kids stuff ,,like most the others .Your a guide and fish everyday.. These things are starting to look like the sheep being herded for the wolf.. I'm out of all these things forever,, not sour grapes .. Just sick of being a sucka ,,like you called everyone over there,, you think this is an honest contest... I spit the truth ,,so flame on..

With all that SOL did for you and your family and this is the way you talk about us. Never again Dave.

[Pete F.]

How about if you win you get the priveledge of being one of three judges/ organizing comitee members, each with a three year term, ineligible for the tournament. For the first three years there would have to be appointed judges who should be eligible.
People who did not send their plugs would not be eligible to enter and you, as a former winner and recepient of a gadzillion plugs, would know who they are.
I would be happy with that and please remember that this should be fun.

Is that your opinion? Or am I supposed to take offense to that statement? because that REALLY sounds like a dig to me and it pisses me off. I don't need this $#!* You don't know me tagger, you have no idea.

I don't know what the heck is going on here but if the way this thread is heading is any indication, then you can all just forget about it. I'm disgusted
I try to do something I thought would be fun, we were just working out the parameters and some make jokes and then others chime in and take things wrong, then accusations fly and insults and people who are normally friendly with each other are pissing and moaning.

If I feel like it, i'll get back to this subject in the future but I have no time for this crap now.
I'm leaving the ball with you guys, have fun

thanks for the suggestion but we were trying to keep this simple.
apparently that can't happen with this forum. I'll keep it in mind but judges are out, this is supposed to be the honor system. I appreciate your reply

I wish it was fun but some people are taking the fun right out of it so I'll just shutup.

maybe I should have asked Guzz and Jigman how to handle this .....

no wonder I don't enter tournaments anymore.

[Canalman]

...y

Im in

[ThrowingTimber]

Sorry slip,

Im in

[Pete F.]

Slip maybe I used the wrong word when I said Judges.
These were the problems I saw when I read thru the thread:
Problem #1) I won one of these and did'nt get all my plugs.
Solution #1) The following year(s) I, as a former contest champion, get to say who is in or out only for failure to pay up.
Problem #2) In someones opinion, the winner waited to enter until they caught a big fish.
Solution #2) Cut off date
Problem #3) Boat or surf
Solution #3) This is a tough one and I would say don't worry about it, the most you can be out is a plug and revisit it if it becomes a problem. Although I have to admit I voted for surf only.
Problem #4) The same guy always wins
Solution #4) You can't enter the next year(s) if you win but you do get to be da Judge, kibbitz and harrass guys who default on their plug debt. Maybe one year is the way to go. What we don't want is a contest where people don't enter because they know Mister X is gonna win.

[Tagger]

Yes Slip thats my opinion,, sorry your pissed ,,but you sound kinda threatning ,, whats all this ,, "you don't know me " stuff..

[BigFish]

Too many cooks Slip...set the rules yourself or with the help of one or two others and if folks want to play then fine....if not....screw em!

[Slipknot]

exactly what it means since you have the wrong impression of me.
You can think whatever you want but you are extremely wrong about this being a case of sheep being herded to the wolf. Not threatening at all. If you don't know what you are talking about , then maybe you shouldn't say it. I don't know what I ever did to deserve that accusation. Anyone who does know me, knows the truth.

Did you read my post where I said this on page one?

sorry I'm pissed? well how the hell do you think I'd feel?


If you really think I would let Dave in this competition, you're way off base. I only signed up over on the other site last year because he was not in it. There should have been a cutoff date and I am sending a plug to Eben.

you do it asteroid champ

[BigFish]

Nope! Not me!

[Tagger]

I think I do know you Slip,, I personally like you and think you are a great guy,,a very nice person, a family man and you are a very giving person all the the stuff you have set up at your house and the other thing in middleborro . Thats what I honestly (no butt swabbery) think of you . I don't think you are a sheep herder,, Ok ? You hate me ? I getting older and caring less about that stuff.. I'll leave it at that so you know exactly what I think of you .. The other stuff,, I meant.

[BigFish]

I like the tinman.......
