The STURGEON Challenge!!!!!!!

[Fishing Eddie]

Word has it Sratch&Eat and Walk The Dog are out trying to see if they can even catch a sturgeon today :rolleyes: I hope they did'nt go up to the sturgeon pond like last time :hoboy:
Stella and" Fishaloat without catching anything" are trying to keep a low profile can't say I blame them.
Last I heard about Texas Rig he was thawing out his crappie heads graemlins/berry.gif Fishrite his down in California hopeing someone might show him what a sturgeon looks like. graemlins/eek13.gif Myself I'm wondering how all of you like your crow :grin: :grin:

[AnglersRental]

Yup, they are runnin scared, and I wonder why?

Didn't we (in a very nice gesture I must say) promise to leave a few of the smaller keepers and a buncha shakers tor the rest of the teams?

Plus - If they are in the right location they all can have the privledge of watching us wack fish. Isn't that enough?

What more do they want? Perhaps we need to tie their shoes and wipe their noses too?

Cowards and cheaters all, but its not gonna matter... hey, did we decide if we were gonna drive around to the other boats and gloat around noon, or were we just going to go wait and gloat at the dock at two?

[Keta]

HA, HA, HA You make me laugh!! They don't call us the Downsteram Not So Brights for nothing. When we get done whupin you, all you will be able to say is D'oh No!

[Dan Christopher]

have you been reading the reports from the area you will be fishing??not looking good for the old timers. :wink:

[Keta]

Wiz.
I'm just going out for a day on the water. I don't care if we catch anything.

[Dan Christopher]

ya,but i am sure if you get a 59 1/2 i am gonna hear about it. :wink: :grin:

[Keta]

:shocked:

[Pete]

Hey, Wiz, I have no need to pre-fish. The gear's ready, the hooks are sharp and the knowledge base is current and solid. The only thing that will keep me from landing a lot of fish is getting too comfortable on the sofa!
D'OH! :cool:

[Dan Christopher]

it just amazes me the number of people in this challenge that are so afraid of the fish taxi team that they have to go out and warm up there rods. i bet they are catching fish and roping them to the pilings in the area so that the day of the challenge they can add today's fish with the 7th fish and they may come close to the taxi..yep,thats it . scaredy cats, scaredy cats, scaredy cats,
your all a bunch of scaredy cats.

[O'City Fisherman]

I sure hope that the winds die down before next Saturday :hoboy: . Went up to Rooster Rock and all you can see is white caps graemlins/berry.gif

I can understand that everyone else will be praying to the fish gods that the winds stay so they will not have to worry about the baton. :smile: . That would be the easier way out instead of having to face the music..

[Dan Christopher]

the winds will go away when the rain hits mid week.so no backing out " o.c flunky".

pete
are you fishing with the rest of us.
or are you going to say ,"yes dear,yes dear"and stay home. :grin:

hey catch or lack of catch
did you get anything on that scouting trip???? :tongue:

[Dan Christopher]

boy,with all you guys out scouting, then no smack talk on your return,you all must be getting worried about backing up your talk. you sould be. :hoboy: see ya next weekend boys and girls.dont blink out there, i plan on being off the water that fast and i wouldnt want you to miss me. :grin:

also by reading this, i am giving all non team members of mine a madwizerd curse.

[Fishrite]

Well, I'm back! California was great, but nice to be back up in fishin' country. I missed all the "smack talk". C&E needs to change his name to CatchandEliminate cause he thinks he is goin' to put a limit of keepers in his boat. Fishalot should be changed to "Fishaknot" cause he's still workin' on tyin' those knots that don't break. :mad: FishthewrongEddie is trying to get " Texas Brig "out of jail for tying sturgeon up to the log jams so he can win on the 7th. :grin: Madlizard needs a "curse" to help his cause. :wink: And the "Downrivernotsobrites", well let's just say that's a good nickname :wink: Hope all you guys had a great Thanksgiving with your families. Wish that I could be apart of the "Gator Good Time" on the weekend...
Good luck to all of you. Be safe !! Terry

[Keta]

:shocked: D'OH :shocked:

[Fishing Eddie]

From what I hear C&E had to go to rehab becuase he was not able to get graemlins/program.gif all weekend. Seems he had a nervous break down after his fishing trip Friday. From what I hear he didn't even get a bite :whazzup: Started to look at the field of players and his knees started to shake his stomach start to roll :sick:
Bernie where are you????

[Pete]

Wiz, I'm not fishing with the rest of you ... I'm going catching, instead. Team D'Oh Rules! :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Pete and RePete. Nuf said. graemlins/program.gif :wink:

Dear Finished Eddie,

I am writing this letter to inform you that it is not to late for you to back out and accept the BATON gracefully. Obviously you were smack starved this weekend beggin for someone to egg you on. Your ego must be crushed that the Great Catch and Eat would not acknowledge you. Don't worry sonny. I will be floatin by you to show off our keepers and provide you with some "motivational speaking". :hoboy:

Mr. Madwizzard. Taxi ride will be about all that comes aboard that banana boat. Sure won't be any fish in it.

Hey Waterdog, how was the water Friday? I drove up but it was aw'fuly nasty water. Ended up going down to KP. No wind at all. No keepers either. Did manage to put the hurt on keepers Sunday afternoon though. Muhahahahahah..... Dude, the countdown is approaching. Are ya practicing your "side-step" Junior? :cheers:

Yapsalot. "I am all smacked out", cry to your mommy kiddo. :rolleyes:

Terry, welcome back. :smile:

[Fishrite]

Seems Bernie went into hiding.....he is not going to hand-off the baton, so he is making a plaque to mount it on :grin: :grin: Texas Rig has disappeared for fear that he might be next in line, because he is running short of his "secret
bait" :tongue:

[WaterDog]

Crash&dent, I was out at T-6 on Friday. We did ok but no keepers. Was out Saturday too. Tacklebuster and I fished next to each other. We took the fish to the wood shed. :grin: We went home with keepers. Lots of fish in the 36”+ slot. I know where I will be come Saturday. Side stepping :whazzup: Me? I don’t think so. You better where extra socks for all the back pedaling you’ll be doing. Hey, you were out two days in a row? Momma’s going to make you pay for that. :wink:

Fishinginaglassofwaterfirst, where were ya? To scared to come play with the big dogs? Oh yeah you were still trying to find some bait. :hoboy:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Had the same experience WD at KP. lots of 36+ fish. That's fine but I am lookin for the 42 and up catagory myself. You can stay with the weeeee ones Blook. I'll take the keepers.

Where did Texas Jig go? He did not even post a team. :depressed:

Pitch Pocket, "Team Just the Facts"?? Sorry, you cannot escape the smack talk. You and Miss B Haven down in the ST. Helens area huh? Well, you big tug boat boys let us know how many shakers you get. Please take photos too. We need a good laugh. :cheers:

[fishingfirst]

MadDog 20/20, that must be what you've been drinking if you think I am scared of the likes of you! :grin:

And yes I am still looking for smelt, I have my other go-to bait, but I need to find some smelt so you guys are not crying that it's not fair when I catch all of the fish on Saturday. Well we know you will be crying anyway.... "it's too cold"... "there are too many boats here".... "the waves are too big"......."all I can catch are shakers".........you bunch of sissies! :shocked:

Look forward to seeing all you other teams out there Saturday!

Scott

[Fishalot]

That is right where is bill boy's team, Team TexasRunoff :sleep: . C&E I see old Turkey Bait has been quiet, he must be out looking for that real special bait :wink: (Team I was on fire a few years ago) has his deer in the locker, to bad he won't have any Sturgeon in there :hoboy: .( Happy little Wizzard) now that is a team we might want to watch out for, YA RIGHT maybe watch out for the wake his boat makes as he runs back to the dock :grin: . Some prople will be Green with envy.

Fishalot

[Fishrite]

Anybody heard from "Texas Wig"....maybe he is still at the Beauty Shop? :grin: I heard that he is has been puttin' books in his pants so the "tailwhoppin" won't hurt so much graemlins/applause.gif graemlins/applause.gif

[King Fisher]

Any possible openings on a boat? graemlins/1zhelp.gif I want to see the baton passed, but not delivered to me. I've got da gear and bait, I'll also bring goodies.

[TEXAS RIG]

OK Fishnotsorite how can you trash talk me when you are whipped so bad by your mama that you have to paint Sat instead of going fishin. I thought you were retired. You better get your tail out between your legs and tell mama your going gator huntin Sat. Or quit that trash talkin and go hide under the bed sheets with your puppy. :rolleyes:

[fishingfirst]

Tacklecrusted,

Will you be out at T6 crying with waterpuppy on Saturday? Don't you know that there are only shakers left on those clam beds!

Perhaps after I'm done putting the whoopin' on the REAL fishermen up the the fishery, I'll come back down there and show you up as well!

If you get too cold out there, just give me a call, I can stop and get you some hand warmers so your itty bitty fingers don't get too cold, or is your mommy sending your mittens with you? graemlins/berry.gif

You might as well give up some of those smelt you have, you guys are just going to waste them on the little fish anyway. They might as well go in my boat, at least one of us could get some use out of them :wink:

See you out there.

Scott

[CATCH AND EAT]

Wow, the Texas Rig is going to make it. Billy I thought you were going to be like Fishrite. One of my boat mates refers to that kind of stuff as being a "skirt wearing poodle walker". :grin: :shocked:

Leave them Crappie heads at home. Those things are an unfair bait. :wink: Of course if ya have to be off the water so soon to paint or something I'll understand. :rolleyes: BTW, I gotta see ya gut a gator Texas Style. :hoboy:

Terry if ya do show up please stay down wind of our boat. Maybe you can fish T-6 area next to the "its to cold up there" club.

[WaterDog]

FishingmanIwishIhadarealboat,

Maybe you should read some of the weekend posts for a third time. :hoboy: I know we use big words but read s....l...o...w....e....r..... Or you can dumpster dive in my garbage can and look at what sturgeon carcass looks like if you need a visual aid. :tongue: We got our keepers. Nice fat ones too. No skinny snakes for us.

So while your running all over the country side looking for bait :rolleyes: we will be fishing. :tongue: You know the activity where you have a rod and reel, and the line actually gets wet by the river, not by you slobbering all over it. :blush:

You might as well give up some of those smelt you have, you guys are just going to waste them on the little fish anyway. They might as well go in my boat, at least one of us could get some use out of them <font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Your the only sturgeonfisherwannabe that has no bait so now your begging for it. :shocked: Have you no shame?

Good luck, your gonna need it.

[fishbait]

Wish I had known that some of you wanna bees needed bait. I had to make room for some Halibut in the freezer a few months ago, and so I tossed about 6-8 packs of smelt. Kept plunty but would have gladly given you those packs of smelt on the 8th as opposed to tossing them out.......... Too bad,, so sad

[Miss B Haven]

It's time to get out the Fun Gus Meter! http://www.ifish.net/uploads/323515295.gif
Yep - thought so. You guys are all BS. Thanks for the measurein stick Gus.

TEAM - "D-OH" RULES! :grin: :cheers:

[CATCH AND EAT]

You threw out the smelf and did not offer it to anyone???????? Get a rope boys we got ourselves a hang'in on Saturday! :hoboy:

Waterdog, You're one mean hombre. I think you ate to much chilli though because what you are saying is right up there with passing gas. :rolleyes: You better go out and fish the next four days and "cull" one for saturday. That's the only way you're gonna get a fish there Waterbucket. :cheers: :wink:

[fishingfirst]

Waterpooched,

Ok I took your advice, looked back to your reports, I see one from Tacklewasted at 42" and one from you at 47", LIKE I SAID......you are just wasting the bait on SMALL FISH, if that is what you consider decent fish, then you better stay home! :grin: Oh that's right I forgot, too many syllables there to confuse you, I'll get my crayons back out and draw you a picture of a small fish compared to a big fish! graemlins/berry.gif

Maybe you should consider a clambake rather than the clam beds down at T6! It might be more productive for you. :shocked:

Glad to hear you guys caught fish, sounds like you had a couple of good days on the water, wish I could have been there, but had to spend the holidays with the "out-laws".

Scott

[get hooked]

Fishbait, Your such a thoughful guy. Give them the bait on the 8th when the challenge is on the 7th. Like I've said before. Beattle Bombs will sneak up from behind to pass you all by while your gauking at each others aquarium size fish your going to be catching.

Gladsissors, I hear you'll be available for taking those with weak bladders back to the dock. Just call up the yellow taxi on VHF. He'll drop anchor and pick up your passenger for free, cause he won't have anything better to do while he's there. graemlins/lurk.gif

See you smack talking gator hunters (I think you guys watch too much TV) out there on Saturday. :cheers:

[Fishrite]

Hey, Hey, there Texas Rig......don't get your hackles up! And what's this about fishin' down wind of me, C&E? graemlins/icon_argue.gif I can get even....ask Billy about crawling on the floor? :grin:
And about the whoppin' from the wife....we've all been there, right? :tongue: Another thing? I think it's time to be thinkin' about placing the baton into retirement...cause Bernie has had it so long that everyone has forgotten what it looks like! graemlins/applause.gif graemlins/applause.gif Fishrite

It's very steep and your rig and boat could slide all the way into the Columbia. http://www.ifish.net/ubb/icons/icon4.gif

[CATCH AND EAT]

Thanks for the advice ******. That is a steep ramp for sure. Only folks with manly trucks (4x4's) should use that ramp. The one at Beacon rock is not any better. BE CAREFUL!!!!

I think we all have pretty good judgement and will be looking out for one another. Except for Rod. I'll make sure he backs that truck of his clear up to the rockers. :shocked:

Rick you should at least hit Kelly Point and show those girls how it is done. Hey did you see the fire plug in the driveway at Fred's?

[Pitch Pocket]

Oooooookaaaaaay...........

Plenty of insecure sturgeon Catch-in-nuttin WANNABEE's laying down trash here. If you have to ask where the fish are, you're probably toast. If you need to find or beg bait, you're most likely history. If you're just learning about fresh water clam beds, OMG! graemlins/1zhelp.gif You may as well just plan on a boat ride Saturday, and a cold one at that. Just use this weekend to help you catch a couple of gators in the FUTURE! :rolleyes:

I hear the fishery is really nice this time of year. With only a 35 mph wind blowing freezing air down the gorge, the wind chop should stay under 4'. All your little open sleds should have no problem negotiating the frozen ramp and those ideal conditions. Get there early while it is still dark and really cold so you experience it completely. We might get the Coast Guard to send a small fleet up there to save your sorry behinds when it gets a little snotty. :grin:

When I go sturgeon fishing, I just go about my business, find em, hook em, land em and filet em. It's a pretty simple process ...... if you know what you're doing! Not a whole lot of boasting necessary, especially when you look at the numbers. :cool:

Mel, I think you might see a bunch of these guys high-tailing it down around the corner to calmer waters. They should be there by about 10 am. By that time, we should be well on our way to having our fish. :hoboy:

Ok, is that the requisite trashing? Now I hope I catch a fish Saturday! :cheers:

[Nanook]

The Hot Bait (http://www.willylures.com/) :wink:

[Fishalot]

:grin: You fit right in PP I sure hope you catch as well as you talk :hoboy: . Looks like you have a real big barge boat do you use a tractor or a DC-10 to put it in the water :shocked: . I hope we all have some fun and no one ends up :mad: or graemlins/icon_argue.gif on the 7th. Glad to see so many people involved in the Big Strugeon Challenge.

Fishalot :smile:

[Pitch Pocket]

Nice sturgeon bait ******. Which team did you say you were on? graemlins/applause.gif

The 24' SeaSport is a barge? Heck, I've towed it with a (you fill in the blank). Anyway, it's already in the water, batteries charged, tank full of gas and ready to roll.

I can put mine on a trailer, Mel has to have a semi to move his somewhere other than in the water.

I too hope you guys aren't too dissapointed when you get blown off the river at the dam and we see you in the St Helens/T6 area trying to regain whatever shred of self respect you might be able to muster up. :cheers:

[Fishing Eddie]

Fishalot, Pllleaassse your killing me. You and team" Lets see if we can sneak out of here" will be one of the first teams in line to be spannnked :shocked: As for Catch&Creep they will try also to get out of there Butt Wooopppen, As for Fishrite his butt already been wooped :hoboy:
As for all of the other teams that I've not met, Lets put it this way you will get schooled by team ON FIRE :grin:
Four more days til the big dance and Texas Rig has already picked out a dress for the big day. graemlins/applause.gif

[Miss B Haven]

Hey - Nonook (I been savin' that one). You been awful quiet on this. Not answering your email either huh? Too much smack? So.... you in or not on Saturday? :cheers: You can use them new lures if you want. We won't laugh - promise! :grin: :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Rod-O or is that really a "ZERO"? :whazzup: :shocked: The only thing you will be catchin is butterflies in the sanitarium after this challenge is over buddy. The rubber room they have for you comes furnished with.....well.......a rubber floor, walls, ceiling and door. Hummmm....comfy. :shocked: More like team ZERO LUCK would be a better team name for ya. Oh yeah. O'city fisher. Another "ZERO". Better yet it is his first name. :tongue:

Pitch'in Pocketchange, glad you're smack'in us around. Pretty confident. Hey, you may be right. May see ya at t-6 if the weather wind factor falls apart. Can't trust our weather man in this area that's for sure. But the effort by the real fisher persons will be made to hit the FREEZING Gorge for the real fish! :grin: BTW, you might want to check your distributor cap for cracks. Just a thought :cheers:

Speaking of cracks-me-up. Mel, you should check out those sturgeon lures of Nanooks. Just do it without the constable lookin at ya. :hoboy:

[Nanook]

Might be out there lurkin', who knows.

Tunameltvin, if your "ship" starts going down river off your anchor, it was not us with sharp objects around your anchor rope. You will know when your TV signal and picture starts to act up :tongue:

Took a break. It was getting deep. :wink:

[ 12-02-2002, 06:00 PM: Message edited by: ****** ]

[CATCH AND EAT]

Do ya have a team ******? There was someone about a page ago that was lookin for a ride Saturday. Ya might look them up.
As for getting deep....well ya know how this stuff turns out don't ya. Lots of yack with nothing to back it up. :grin: Example: Waterdog. graemlins/program.gif

[Miss B Haven]

****** - Better bring a hack saw. No rope on my rode! I got one on board just in case it goes down and decides not to come back up. :shocked: We'll be lookin out for that Willie Boat casting Sturgeon spoons though!

Everybody down below, watch out if you hook up on something real heavy but no fight. There's still a jumper they haven't found below the St Helens docks! :depressed: Waters already down to 46 degrees...brrr... no time to go swimmin! Be careful out there folks! :rolleyes:

You don't need to go to Washington to slide down the ramp on the ice either. Been there- done that at Coverts (and that was with a 4 wheel drive - don't help a bit). Just close your eyes and hope you stop when you hit the water. We did. Even made it back up without the boat on too! :cheers:

[TEXAS RIG]

Come on Fishless Eddie you know who wears the pants around here and he will have his cowboy boots on for the big dance. And they work good for stompping out anything on fire.

[WaterDog]

Fishingsecond,

I do the clambake in the spring and early summer. That is a different event. :grin: Maybe you should bring some saw dust with you. graemlins/idea.gif I hear that it's good bait for SAWMILL STURGEON. :tongue:

Catchin'stinkyfeet, I got your graemlins/program.gif right here buddy. :wink: We'll see come game time. Just bring it. graemlins/hearton.gif

[Fishrite]

Let it begin......"The Great Whisker Lip Tournament" is just 4 days away!! The smelt and sand shrimp will be flyin' and the boats will be arockin'.

I'll be home with the wife and a paint brush :blush: :grin:

I'm puttting together a team for the Sturgeon Challenge and due to an arm injury I need an experienced anchor tender. Applicant must have experience with anchor dispersement and retreival using an anchor bouy system. All tackle can be supplied.
I may also have a posistion for an apprentice. Again all tackle can be supplied. This will be an on call (short notice) posistion. Applications taken through e-mail. Fishplay@juno.com :grin:

[Tacklebuster]

Fishingwithsnott,
The only reason I have been quiet lately is because myself and my bud WaterDog have been slamming the old sturgies instead of spending hours on the computer wishing I was fishing.

Speaking of fishing, hey FishingbutIgottabumsomebaitfirst,

Find any fresh smelt yet :hoboy: I was looking for ya on Saturday but I guess you wanted to save the buttwhoopin for another week or so.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Terry, Terry, Terry. :hoboy: Ya gonna paint her toenails too? Man is this dude shackled or what!!!!!! graemlins/1zhelp.gif He is so in "L.U.V" graemlins/hearton.gif he is blind to the fact of being his wifes slave boy toy. Dude, you need to get out and fish more. I know I know, you are retired and can fish when ever where ever. But to miss an event like this cause mommy wants more color in her life. PLEASE&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;!!!!!!!! graemlins/stupid.gif

Waterbogged, Ya better hitch up yer pants and spit on your palms cause ya gots yer work a cut out fer ya varmit. Bring your best game face dude and I don't mean that "parcheezy" look either.

Hmmm, 15-30, 15-30, 15-30. Looks like a nice flat day at the Fishery. Wind waves should be under 4' . Sounds normal for this time of year.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Don't be scared boys and girls. Cold is fine, rain is fine, Wind is a FACTOR. Should the winds be TOO great and issue we will relocate down river with the rest of the grandmas and grandpas. :wink: That decision can be made Friday when it really counts. :cheers:

Don't ya just love it when someone tries the psych-out method to smack talk. :rolleyes: It's Cold, it's wet, bring your heaters, there MIGHT BE A LITTLE WIND :hoboy: You sound like Matt Zafino my friend. He's always wrong. :tongue:

Let's just hope the only wind blowing Saturday is from the taxi boat. And we all know that Waterdog is full of hot air so that should solve any "I'm Cold" issues. :shocked:

[Pitch Pocket]

We can sure tell where the wind is blowing right now!

And Bernie, you could hold the bucket? Lets see what could Dylan do....Oh, I got it he could hold the roller, like he always holds the net when we are fighting the fish!! :grin: :grin: Keith, he could do the clean up, like he does when we are done landing our fish. :tongue: Sound like a normal day on the Willamette to me!! :cheers: FishriteSalmonslayer

Gee, Mel. I thought you said we were going to hide sand shrimp in all the trucks with Ifish stickers at the Fishery. You promised! You said you've been ripening them for a week just so we could go have fun! Now all you want to do is eat and talk on the phone???

[Keta]

Pete,
I have the otter glands real ripe and ready to put on the door handles. :shocked:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Hey Mel, you can always put Keta on the hook if he smell too bad. Sturgeon will even hit Keta bellies. Mmmmm.....peeler bait. Just a thought Mel. Keta can get pretty mouthy when your fishing with him. Voice of experience here. :wink:

PithInPockets. You got a cabin in that dingy of your. Bring you sleepin bag and a pillow. :sleep:

Pete, try tuna balls for bait. graemlins/idea.gif

Mel, just how many times did you vote for yourself in that Madwizzard poll anyways. :hoboy: :grin:

It wasn't until I read "Miss A Strike's" forcast that the resemblance of Mel's boat to the SS Minnow hit me..... :shocked:

(music) "...The weather started getting rough...the tiny ship was tossed...it wasn't for smell of the fearful crew the Miss B would docked...the Miss B would docked..." :grin:

And other than mine there has not been any other truthful replies :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Why are'nt ya fishin today Mel? :whazzup: Beauty day and you're just watchin your computer. :sleep: Some of us have to work. You should be playing.

[Fishalot]

If TexasRunaway catches a keeper on the 7th stand back because he packs a mean knife :shocked: I have seen him in action and the meat was flying all over the place. Just don't touch any cardboard with HIS knife or he will freak out :hoboy: . Now that I think back he did give me a nice chunk of that Strugeon :grin: . I don't remember who caught the only keeper that day? but I am sure some one will remind me. I do remember it was RED HOT that day, or so I was told it would be.
Do you remember that day CatchinCrap ?

You're right Fishalot, that Texan can really get the meat a flyin'! Rod and I had blood all over us when Billy was field dressing his deer. :grin: :grin: He even got blood on the top of his head....now how do you do that? graemlins/idea.gif Billy is a prince of a guy. Rod and I really had a great time with him.....but when it comes to catchin' Gators, lets just say that he would have a better chance of catchin' a crockidile in the Columbia. :grin: :grin: And as for Cottis, well his chances are about as good as winning the lotto! I think that I could outfish them on Sat. with my paint brush!!! :cheers: Fishrite

Just for the record - There are 6 separate threads (including two "Rules" threads) and a total of 439 posts on this subject. This is not counting the separate threads/posts on folks looking to put their teams together. :rolleyes:
AND - it's only Noon on Tuesday (hmm...I like that song!) :grin:

[Fishing Eddie]

Yes HOPALOT I remember who that was, seems even the coast guard wanted to know what my secreats were. It seems if I remember right CatchSomeSleep was down there also following us around like a bad dream, did'nt he even cross anchor us? :hoboy: I know all he wanted was a little graemlins/1zhelp.gif
Hopalot if I remember you did'nt catch anthing accept some seaweed :whazzup:
That's alright if you guys want to see Texas Rig fillet a gator watch him go after our keepers the 7th :cheers:

[Fishrite]

Good morning "Fishless Betty" and "Texas Twig" this retired life is really great :grin: :grin: get up when you want, put a log on the fire, grab a cup of coffee, get in the easy chair......and review the "Honey Do List" :grin: :grin: See what you "ifishers" have to look forward too :tongue: :tongue: fishrite

[Fishrite]

Hey, guys I just talked to Rod (wish I could fill my boat) Cottis.......seems like all his clients are bailin' on him. They saw the "flame out boat" as a real liability, a sure "tail whoopin" a comin' their way! :grin: :grin: He even tried to get me to brake my paint weekend committment to my lovely wife.....how low is that!! :hoboy: :hoboy: I think he is thinking about getting me in hotwater so he will have a better chance of winning "the first springer award" :grin: :grin: Fishrite

[CATCH AND EAT]

Terry, you forgot the part where you get up, put a log on the fire, get a cup of coffee, put in the false teeth, put on the glasses, act like your reading the paper and take a nap. Now that is retired. :grin:

I do remember that trip Fishiin Eddie. Seems our boat was the first to catch a fish that day. :shocked: As far as cross anchoring, tide changed and you were in the wrong spot. :grin: Folks, Rod is the only person that I know that had keepers "tied off" only to swim away without his permission. :shocked: graemlins/stupid.gif

Fishalot did get ya good that day too. Fish, fish fish...!!!!! :grin:

Keith, you are missing it dude. :depressed:

[O'City Fisherman]

Get Hooked, (Bill)

So did you get a new starter in that truck :tongue: ? I sure hope so I would hate to see you on the grass instead in the water.

Sorry Bill I had to do it. I will not tell your secrets about your fishing holes :wink: ..

see you tonight or on the water on Saturday..

[Fishing Eddie]

Fishrite I was giving you a chance to be on the winning boat :cheers: and this is how you thank me. :hoboy: As I recall are talk you said the tail wooopppennnn you would get at home would be far greater then the one on the river come the 7th. You forgot on the retired list: wake up, ask mama if you can get out of bed, ask mama if you can have a cup of coffee before you pick up the paint brush :grin:
Come on Terry this would be a chance for you to show us all who wears the pants in your house, or is it your mama's house?

[spook]

Hey Fishrite, you're right about retirement being great. Only two problems that I can think of - you never get a day off, and you never know when you're through.

Jerry

[CATCH AND EAT]

Paint the house, take out the garbage, mop the floor, vaccum the living room, do the laundry. Hey, do ya cook dinner too? :hoboy:

Give it up Mr. and go saturday. :cheers:

[Fishrite]

I knew it....I knew it......Cottis aka "Blizzard Breath" would fill the airways with the hottest news about Terry. Now I'm going to take a real "tail whooooooppppinn and I can't even defend myself (except with a paint brush) :grin: :grin: Stop laughin' Texas Wig....go back to the hairdresser and get a bigger wig to cover that chome dome of yours :grin: :grin:

Hey Spook....these guys don't know what they are in for upon retirement, do they? :grin: :grin:

Kingfisher85....I'm goin' to give you a run for the "Big Springer Award"....I've got a HONEY HOLE that kicked out a 49+lber. for me last year....it's a secret hole ....that is unless "Blizzard Breath Eddie" starts a talkin' :hoboy: :hoboy: Fishrite

[Fishrite]

Oh Yeah, Bernie ..........I do the cookin' too!!

Cottis does toilets.....so clean that Mr. Clean himself would be proud. :grin: :grin:

And the Texan....he swings a mean mop!! He has to .....I saw the wife whoppin' him with it cause he missed a spot :tongue: :tongue:

Bernie....come on.....you would like us to think that those "worn knees" are for all the prayin' that you do.....fact is, it from the hours spent scrubbing the floors :shocked: :shocked:

So you see...."ifishers"....the REAL TRUTH is out!! Fishrite :cheers:

[CATCH AND EAT]

We have heard that "Real Truth" stuff before Terry. :shocked: Goes over like a lead baloon. We are on to ya deck swabber. What a scalliwag. :wink:

Holes in my knees are from kneelin to measure and unhook fish. :tongue: However, I do clean the remote once in a while :rolleyes:

[Fishalot]

For a guy that is staying at home on the big day PickleRite sure is on the board alot :hoboy: Some one call his wife and confirm that he will be home painting and not just hiding under the kitchen table :shocked: I don't know what he is more afraid of, coming in last or hooking a oversize Strugeon graemlins/1zhelp.gif We will help you reel it in Terry - ya right !

Lord, cleanse my of these impure thoughts that Pete has put before us. :grin: Pete did you copy those from your on line Viagra perscription? lol. Is it called Sturgagra? :smile:

Mel, you sure you want Pete on your boat. I think the mid-life crisis thing is getting to him. You guys be careful on that boat. Wait a minute!!!! Now we know why you want to be away from the crowds and fish St Helens. :hoboy: Pete, ya need God and need him quick brother. graemlins/1zhelp.gif Repent or the BATON will be handed to you with swift resolve. :grin:

Calm down Jennie. It was a false alarm. Cold shower time :cheers:

[Fishing Eddie]

Texas Rig, not even Terry will be worthy of the baton come Saturday, even if he is hiding under the table at home. :hoboy: No the baton needs to go to at least someone who can have the pants big enough to wear to the big dance.
Maybe we can all pitch in and buy him a new paint brush or something :whazzup:
As for Wishalot he's right about reeling in fish for other people because that will be all of the action he will see.
Bernie it's amazing how quite poeple are getting I wonder if there feeling :sick: knowing we will crown the baton holder come the 7th???

Who's quite? graemlins/icon_argue.gif I'm waiting to dish out some smack tonight at the party in person. You ladies want me to bring a Sturgeon head with me so you know what your looking for on Saturday? Whats left of last weeks keeper is still in the can. I was going to leave it in fishinginmybathtubfirst's car but figured he think it was some freebie smelt. :wink:

Ah,Oh!.....the "SMACK TALK" is really getting thick. Here I am being the model husband and all the "ifishers" lead by "Rodless Betty" are trying to make me look bad. :depressed: Hey, I can take it .....I have good shoulders. I really wish that I could be there on Saturday when the "flame machine" gets the new baton....it has already been painted with some flames so it will match the boat! :grin: :grin: Have you ever seen a "Texas Baton"? You can use it as a water slide out the back or your boat! :tongue: I think one of those would look real good on the Big Thunder Jet graemlins/applause.gif graemlins/applause.gif Fishrite

[Fishalot]

I'm not a drinkin man but with all this smack talk I have been thinking about getting a bottle of something strong to wash down FishingEggheads smack. I have seen this guy fish ,not catch fish just fish and it is like seeing a Greenhorn doing it for the first time everytime he goes out. I sure hope his gang eats a big breakfast because they will be going home with nothing to eat but bait. What size is your neck Rod so we can pre cut the chain that the baton hangs on to fit you. Ha look it's a boat on fire, no that is Rod's Boat he painted it that way to make it look fast and give people something to look at when he 's not catching fish.

Late entry. Team #22 "The Gator Slayers." With all of the smack talking, who could pass up??? See you on the water!! White thunder Jet, with the cracked window.

[CATCH AND EAT]

MadWiseacker, That was pretty good. 10 points for you. :grin:

Okay, team 21 "Blackjack" aye? That will probably be the average size of the fish you catch on the 7th. 21 inches that is. :rolleyes: You have arrived late in the game but that does not save you from the smack attack.

Skimmpy and Stoolpidgeon Tom with other questionable team-mates. Now there's a coupe of baton holders if I've ever seen one (and I have). Go ahead a waste time with the o'sized gators. we will be puttin on a clinic on how to catch keepers out there.

Now if you really want to learn from the pros you might anchor next to all the dead weight in Tacklebusters boat. They really put on a show. "See Tacklebuster try to bait hook". "see TB cast bait." See TB set hook and reel. See his catch. Hydrilla! :blush: :grin:

Wiz, UG & BB,
I got that issue with ODFW all cleared up, had to meet with whats his name, Tom, who is in charge of Sturgeon for the state and the director, but the phone call from the Gov. seemed to help. (good job BB) They have decided to go ahead and let the 4 of us fish together on Sat. Tom is Fed X'ing me another 3 dozen tags and requested that we only tag the fish we release that are over 50 inches. That was in their original letter and we kinda did agree to do this in our first meeting with Tom. With the 17 tags that UG has we should be fine. In addition Tom agreed to double the amount of the latest "Sturgeon bite and feeding stimulant" (remember he called it " Magic Powder" at the meeting) that they have been using in their breeding and stocking programs. Remember we all signed non disclosure and non dissemantion agreements regarding the use of Magic Powder. I like Bankbounds idea of just fishing two rods at a time, it will help keep things less hectic. Ok, I think we are all set. The caterers are confirmed, with the first delevery at 8:30 and then lunch at 11. They will be using two different boats and have the cell numbers. UG, you need to confirm what type of sausage you want with your eggs benedict and I choose the orchads for the centerpiece at lunch. Last item, Wiz, please see what you can do with the Field and Stream people, I just don't see why they need two camera boats, Those photographers tend to get in the way sometimes. And don't worry if you can't get that other electric seat heater to work on the low setting, it will be OK. Well that should do it, see you all the ramp at 8:15............ FB

[Fishing Eddie]

WOW, I'm sure glad I didn't throw out my old pair of chest waders, seems it is really getting deep graemlins/icon_argue.gif It's 48 hours away until we see a mass migration of tail between there leg gator hunters heading back home :hoboy:
I've been told by Flapalot that he thought MADBUZZED could have a real good chance at the BATON :shocked:
See you all out there. Oops not fishrite I forgot he'll be at home painting :depressed:

[Miss B Haven]

Hey Madwiz - Wish I had seen your post before I left last night. Spent an hour going from one end of the room to the other, table to table just lookin' for ya. The wife was sitting over by the presents sharpening up her knife! :shocked:
Nobody told me that you even shorter than Roy and I should check UNDER the tables! :grin: What the heck were you doing down there anyway? Never mind- don't want to know :shocked: .
Did you warn your team that they are all going to have to take on the "incredible shrinking team" pose when you guys slink back to the dock after dark Saturday empty handed? Sheeesh - I hope nobody calls the CG cause 'cause your missing! Oh wait - now that I think about it - who's going to miss anybody on your team 'cept the Sturg? They just get a free meal from you guys on every drop.
:grin: :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Man there is more flap jaw here than James Bond has women. :hoboy:

I got to tell ya boys. I met some of you guys at the party last night and I could not control my laughter. The thought of some of you folks with a fish on is really laughable. :rolleyes: Heck some of you guys can't even hold a fork right non the less a rod. :shocked: You expect to catch fish? Please, just give up now.

Actually, it was good to meet you folks last night at the toy drive. You all behaved well and from what I could see the wee ones were having a good time too. :cool:

Nuf of that baloney. Waterboy, you may as well just break that rod of yours in half now. That is about as useful as it will be on Saturday.

Fishnotcaughtalot, good to meet your family last night. It will be nice for you to have a support group to cry with come Saturday night. :wink:

Badgizzard, the only guy there with a camo hat on. Must have been to hide from Must be shaven. He was lookin for you last night. His wife had some kind of scaboard hanging off here right hip and a T-shirt that said "JUST BOBBET". :shocked:

Uglygreen, now there is a force to be recond with. I just can't believe you did not bring all those clippings from fishing and hunting news to show everyone. :wink:

Folks, it is now less than 48 hours to cry'in time. Are ya feeling a little tense? Mouth a little dry? teeth chattering? Knees knocking? Good, you should be afraid. Very afraid. muhahahahahahahaaaaa..... :cheers:

[Dan Christopher]

fishbait
they want 2 camera boats now?? :cheers:

cant compete
after talking to your team last night, I don't even think I will trash talk you this morning. I feel so sorry that they have to fish with you that I don't want them to feel worse. that picture that spooled was showing me last night of you sleeping with the make up on was hilarious. :shocked:

dead weightie
if you were talking to ( smells a lot) you would know that he thinks i am a god.all he could do last night was ask me where he should be fishing,where to start and if he could anchor next to me. he was telling me how he has fished with you before and that i was giving you to much credit, and that i don't need to worry about your team,,like i was worrying. :tongue: :grin:

must b shaven
I was going to introduce my self last night but I thought I would let you enjoy that last couple of days you have left, that you wont be hanging your head in shame. I did meet your wife though, great lady, she was telling me that you needed to buy that big boat to compensate for lack of size of something else. :shocked: :shocked: :grin:

[skrimmy]

That puzzled look on MadWizerd's face wasn't plotting how to get that piece of pizza, it was wondering how was he ever going to catch a keeper this weekend with a boat that looks like a BANANA!!! Maybe you should switch to the MeanGreenCatchlessMachine of UG's :grin: :grin: :grin:

I knew it!! Hogmaster could not resist throwing his hat into the ring. I just wish I could follow him down the road so I could be the first to the "Yard Sale" :shocked: I'll bring the salvage rig to pick up the pieces for ya Gary.
I can't wait to hear this weekends story.

"headline" Hogmaster boat sinks after being overloaded with dead weight. All survive after the captain of the boat issues each fisherperson a pfd like BATON!!! :grin:

That is the look of worry on MW's face. I don't think it was just gas. Kind of looks like someone questioning "Whats a sturgeon???" :whazzup: :shocked:

Fishlessbait- Yeah, I heard that too that you needed special permission for all 4 of you to be in the same boat. They wanted to make sure the dang thing can still float with as much bullpuckey as it will have to hold this weekend! I mean, 4 guys in a yellow floating banana trying to hang out with the big boys catching keepers! :grin: :grin: :grin: Yeah, no small wonder there's going to be more than one camera to capture that precious moment! Heck I might even bring mine to capture the look on your faces when you get spanked

[skrimmy]

CATCHlessANDdeFEATed, you're really not fielding THAT team are you? I mean, a guy named Spooled obviously can't fish! And Pops? or was it really poops mispelled (cause that's what he's gonna do when if he actually does catch one!) And Uncle Bob? Jeez, we all got one of those, nothing noteworthy there! So basically all that's left in your boat is you, CATCHINGcrowANDEATingit. See you on the water girls! :cheers:

Well except for the Pee Bucket that is. :grin: I'll swing by your boat and hand you the Giant "L" stickers for you guys foreheads. They will be yellow cause I had them made special for the Madwizzard Women. graemlins/stupid.gif :wink:

Just kiddin ya Dylan. It was great to meet your family. A great lookin bunch they are. Notice I said "they are" :cheers:

Bring your best on Saturday Monkey Man. Now that I met Tilla know why he is bringing you along. Charity!!!!!! :shocked:

[skrimmy]

Miss-B thanks for the warning! But with that yellow banana boat of MadGeezers, he won't be hard to miss! And since he thinks I'm "skimpy", he obviously must be blind and didn't see me last night! I'm certainly not a small guy! So, he obviously won't be able to find us, let alone a keeper sturgeon! (Hey MW, sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi last night at the party! Miss-B, it was nice meeting you though!)

[Fishalot]

Yes C&E my wife is blessed to have me, like she always tells me looks and talent all in one nice package :grin: . All night she kept saying that is Catch & Eat he doesn't even look like a fishermen.

The company that produces the Batons have been working 24/7 I talked with the CEO and he said that he been sending alot of Baton's to the west coast he named a couple of those on the waiting list: Catch&eat, Tilla, Fishalot, Madwizzard,Waterdog, I told him stop, stop I can't take it anymore.

I don't see any Smack from CarpRite today, he must be down at Smiths home furnishing looking for a new couch because he wore the old one out :sleep: . I did see him at the hardware store yesterday buying Black paint to do some touch up on the ball & chain his wife has on him graemlins/1zhelp.gif .

Man I thought they only put trap doors on winter underwear. Then Yapalot starts flappin his jaw. The wind that comes out of that boys face will be enough to blow us out of the Gorge. :grin: "Kind Words"? Awh shucks... :smile:

Speaking of hot air. Sissy Edie you better just order all them BATONS with your name on 'em. After all you had a lot of practice with them in highschool out there high stepping in front of the band. Then side steppin the cow pies like a cat with tape on its paws. :tongue: So twirl them Batons there Sandpaper head and do that sissy dance of yours. I'll bring the digital camera to document the festivities. :cheers:

Turkeybaiter, you lost your train of thought. Sure leaving blank spots on this thread. Kind of like on your tag. BLANK. BATON please.

Hey, why has'nt 5-Cents smacked here. Must be just another "plug nickle". :wink:

You know after reading this thread the past weeks I have come to a couple of conclusions. One we were all class clowns and two, nobody on this challenge can catch fish. Well....expect me that is. :grin: Now there is some hot air for ya. :cheers:

I knew something stunk. KETA!!!!

OK Boys and Girls,

Move aside and make room for the men.
Team "Big Ol' red Beast" is back in action. Stevens Marine just called and The Beast is ready to Rock. I had them put on 2 extra coats of doughball repellant so only a select few of you will be able to anchor anywhere near me. :shocked:

See ya there

Nice to meet ya last night. Enjoyed chatting with ya. Whoop'pin ya will be even more enjoyable.

[Fishrite]

Well in just a few hours and the paint will be flyin' at the Williams' house :grin: ..... and the "Great Columbia Baton Dilema" will be solved... :grin: :grin: ...who will get the baton? Fishalittle could repeat...or CatchaBaton could steal the show.... "Batonless" Eddie has to be considered a favorite...and the Texas "BatonClubbers" could come make a run at it......wish I could be there to witness it....but I'm going to be pleasing the little lady :cheers: Fishrite

[CATCH AND EAT]

Poor Fishrite. Doing the Texas two step with a paint brush. :sleep: Shezzzzz, when the chips were down you waffled. You were brainwashed by the lady and she said "PAINT Chips". :hoboy:

Terry, take that choker off and get on the river. Can't believe you are letting "painting for the ruler of your household" take control of your boating activities! I recommend Fraiser Crain. :cheers:

I can tell Fishin' Eddies a bit upset about missin' out on dem whips and ropes the other night. :rolleyes:

[Dan Christopher]

i dont feel like smack talking tonight so ths is all i got for ya.

CATCH AND EAT , skrimmy and Miss B Haven
are sitting naked in a sauna.
Suddenly there is a beeping sound.
CATCH AND EAT presses his forearm and the
beeping stops. The others look at him curiously."That's my pager," he says, "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm." " that was my wife,i will have to go home soon.

A few minutes later a phone rings.
skrimmy lifts his palm to his ear. When he
finishes talking he explains, "That's my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand." " just got the call that my baton is ready."

Miss B Haven, feeling decidedly low-tech,
steps out of the sauna. In a few minutes he
returns with a piece of toilet paper hanging from the crack of his butt. The others raise their eyebrows.

Miss B Haven says
"Oh, excuse me. I'm getting a Fax."
"yep, we just lost the sturgeon challange to madwizerd's team"

Give me a call at work if you get a chance. 503-685-5747. I left your # at home.

[CATCH AND EAT]

The Klampits go fishing. hahahahaha...rotflol :grin: Thanks Spooled!!!

Skrimmy, you are depressing me ya coot. Not looking good for the gorge. KP is the alternative at this point.

Team old folks are heading to the estuary. :rolleyes: Poegys don't count boys!!

What the heck were all you guys up so late for last night?? Could'nt sleep aye? Nervous? :shocked: Well you should be! I bet you will really be tossing and turning tonight. Lots of worry lines developing of some pretty sad faces. Shoot probably should just by 21 batons and hand them out at the boat ramp tomorrow.

Fishin Spagetti ya noodle head team flame out is going to be famous tomorrow that is for sure. I am bringing the crow trophy to give to you after the fireman clear your smoke screen.

Tilla. Here's your new click phrase. I am staying Till'a I's catch a fishy. Like that will happen. Not much of a chance of fish catching fish with o'l Napsalot along for a boat ride.

Kids this thing is still going to happen tomorrow so don't say "its to windy so I am going to paint the house". That's a cop out :hoboy: Like I said. To windy in the Gorge we will go to Kelly Point. I consult with Fishin Eddie later today and post any changes. :cheers:

[CATCH AND EAT]

This just in. Our good friend Snapshot just stopped by the office and delivered a nice CROW trophy for tomorrows festivities. :shocked:

My guess is that Fishin Eddie will be the crow holder until the next i-fish event. :wink:

[Tacklebuster]

Ok ladies, looks as if I escaped the work thing and have a green light on Saturday. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do the Gorge thing. My bud Husker had to jump ship on me cause I thought I was gonna get sucked into work on Saturday. So looks as if Tacklebuster, my neighbor and fishing buddy Mike, and Mrs. Tacklebuster will be on the front lines.

Scratch and Weep, Fishingwithnobaitfirst, Fishaless, and the rest of you no keeper catching, bad breath having, no smack talking, no skill having, hairy back and shoulders having, depends wearing, snott nose sturgeon wannabees, look out........

WaterDog, I'll see ya "you know where" dark and early in the morning :cheers:

[fishingfirst]

Tacklebusted, Glad to see you are bringing the wife, at least one of you will have pants on!

[Miss B Haven]

HeHe - You guys are so scared of us, talkin' about moving downriver huh?
Won't do you any good guys. The D-oH's are still going to be sayin "D-OH" to you!
PS - Stay away from those big fiberglass boats. They scare the fish. Don't anchor anywhere within - oh 1/2 mile of one! :grin: Besides, the wake from one of those might swamp those little bathtubs you guys are bobbin around in. Make sure you got your floatation devices on at all times! Muhahahahaaaa... :shocked:

Mad - I got a fax for you! Mad - where are ya? I'll bring you some nice faxes on Saturday. Sure won't have any trouble finding your boat. Can't hide under the table on Sat. :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

This just in on the weather situation straight from NOAA. Winds dying down this afternoon. Wind Saturday for the west Gorge 5-15!!!!! Looks much better than the forcast earlier this morning. You can find this information on the NOAA Columbia Gorge website. This is also being reported on NOAA radio for this area. Come on wind die, die, die!!!!

Hey Mel, that boat is an anchor. The occupants are cannonballs.

Tacklebuster glad you are back in the game. Hate to see any crow go to waste. You like yours extra crispy?

I will get another NOAA report this afternoon.

[fishingfirst]

Mrs. Tacklebuster is coming along now, SHE will tell him how he likes his crow! :grin:

Scott

[Dan Christopher]

catch and eat
give me the link for the NOAA reports.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Just type in noaa and select cascade locks. It will give you the forcast. Or turn on you VHF and listen to WX 1 for the forcast.

They did upgrade the wind spead to 10 to 15 for tomorrow.

[Fishalot]

FishingFreadflintstone you just leave the Crow Trophy at the office because that is where it will end up anyway :shocked:

C - Caught) a nape when he was fishing
R - Raced) out to my spot to catch nothing O - Old) bait didnot work this time.
W- Wish) I could be like Fishalot.

Turkey Baster Glad you can make it, the more *** to whoop out there the better. I know I talk alot but I have the stuff to back it up so come on with it :wink: .

Badwinner come on with that big Yellow school bus, I know you can fish good but it will not be good enough on Dec. 7th :shocked:

Cough & slobber you make sure you put on your wool hat I don't want to hear you cry all day. Don't forget the pillows to put down the back of you draws so when we whoop on ya it hurts less.

Must be heaving you should stay home where you can at least watch fishing on TV.

I hope I got you all worked up so you can't sleep tonight, I always sleep good the night before a good fight.

Fishalot

[CATCH AND EAT]

Boys and Girls it is now official. 15-30mph in the West Gorge area below Cascade Locks. not my kind of weather.

We're moving to Kelly Point and Launching at Cathedral Park. (Happy now ****** :wink: ) Those of you that still want to try it up yonder feel free but be careful please.

We will see ya on the water kids. Be sure to smile so we can take your picture and hand you a baton or some crow. :grin:

Tacklebuster, see ya there. :grin:

Crash and dent, do I need to leave you a trail of bread crumbs so you can find your way? :wink:

Oh, I'll be flying the flag of the Beaver Nation tomorrow off the stearn light. I should be easy to find if you want to see what sturgeon fishin is all about. :grin:

fishingtolateagain, You run down some bait yet? :rolleyes: Guess I better through an extra bag in the cooler for ya.

Good luck, be safe, and hope everyone has bent rods.

Well the time has come to either put up or shut up! Will the best fisherman please step forward.....oops, have to change that to the 2nd best...cause the best, has to stay at home and paint for the little lady :grin: :grin: The "Top Crow Award" will be handed out and the "Beeeeeeeeetttoonn Winner" will be crowned. I wish I could be there to witness it. All you "ifishers" have a great time of fellowship and please be safe....and if you will , please make a cast or two for me.

Waterdog don't lift your hind leg yet. I hear the fat lady is sitting in the guide chair of your boat. :shocked: Fortunatly she can't carry a tune in a bucket. :wink: Better get there real early. I wanna see what your using. You got a sleeper in that heap of yours? You'll need it.

Madwizzard, hope you got that taxi back together. Better sleep in and get some beauty rest. That way you will take a better picture.

Banckbound. We are launching at Cathedral park. We will be done by 2pm. 4 keepers.

[Fishing Eddie]

Just got off the phone with Fishrite. I heard is wife saying he could go, but did'nt feel as if he had enough flesh on his back side left for another butt wooopppennn :hoboy:
So don't be blameing this one on your wife take it like a man and come on out and take your butt wooppen :tongue:
Fishalot is right he sleeps very well before a fishing trip, fact is he :sleep: during his trips cause they are so BORING.
See you all in the morning :grin: :grin:

[Fishalot]

Rod you must be all caught up on sleep after your nap yesterday late afternoon :sleep: :sleep: :hoboy: Did you pick up the 12 doz Sand Shrimp today try not to put them in the pancakes unless your crew likes sea food pancakes :shocked: .

I hope (can't not catch less) shows up for the big hand off.

What is going on with Billy or better known as Tuckin Run? I hope he stays off the VHF because be sounds like a Women and some guys might think it's their wife looking for them.

You guys are right about the crow thing. Crow is the exact thing that will sum up my tally for tomorrow's butt whoopin

C- caught more keepers than you knuckleheads will in a lifetime.

R- released a couple of more limits of keepers cause we already had 3 monsters roped off.

O- oversize fish that was played and released as well.

W- waterdog anchored up next to me taking the fish to the wood pile as well.

Tacklebuster's crow is more like this:

C - can't catch fish so I gotta talk a lotta smack

R- really wish fishingfirst was here so he could show me how to catch keeper sturgeon.

O- Oh my! Toto we are not in Kansas anymore

W- work was my excuse but now I don't have one......how do I get out of this thing gracefully, I'm in way over my head!

Well the first ever Sturgeon Challenge is now history. The Baton will soon be awarded. The crow has already been eaten for the teams that did not produce. Braggin rights belong to those that produced results

Congratulations to the teams that scored. Great job on a tough fishing day. It was a most beautiful day out there. By noon it was just about shirt sleave weather in the middle of December. Can't beat that.

Now we need to pray for rain. Rain enough to get the river levels up so that we can get our boats up and down our favorit rivers for those pesky steelhead.

I close this thread now but not before thanking Jennie for allowing all that server space to be taken up with sensless drivel and testorronic chest beating. Thanks Jen. We appreciate it.

On to steelhead and then to springers. I already know that Fishalot is looking to hand off a BATON for the springers so watch out you potential BATON holders. you know who you are. :grin:
