The STURGEON Challenge!!!!!!!

[CATCH AND EAT]

Well since Fishin Eddie has now set the date and is trembling in his boots here it is.

December 7th 2002 below Bonniville Dam

The Baton Challenge Will Be Held (by fishalot).

Come as you are and be willing to accept the BATON should you fail.

Fishing Eddie, more like Bouncing Betty

Fishalot, more like Talksalot

Fishrite, yet to be determined

Mofish, Thats an oxymoron

Texas Rig, This ain't no bass fishin tourney.

Snapshot, AH.....what's a sturgeon

Tilla, Can't wait to see this cracker in action or should I say "inaction".

Uncle Bob, you fishin that day or is it your day off from fishin.

FM2, More like Fish Missed Squared.

Who else is coming? Don't want anyone to feel left out of the smack catagory. I guess you could call this a mini-flotilla to get us in line for the upcoming springer bashing on this board.

Put you names here for a whoopin: :cheers: :cheers:

[O'City Fisherman]

If there is anyone with an open seat for this trip I would love to join in.

So C&E Go ahead and put me down for the smack talking. I might and might not be there but hey I am into talking smack like the rest of the DAWG FANS.... :grin: :grin:

[husker]

who is the loser that owns the baton right now?.....common fess up...... :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

OK - so how far below Bonne are we talking? :whazzup: I'm in if you count St Helens as below (it is last time I checked the chart)! :grin: It's a long run up the creek from Multnomah Channel to the dam for me. :shocked:
****** - Miss B's got heaters and blankies (and a TV for the games). I think we'll survive somehow. Interested in roughing it this winter? :grin: The big problem comes if the fish start bugging you at 3rd down and 1! :wink: :cheers:

[Fishalot]

Ha Husker come over here I want to talk with you. You asked about the Baton, well I am the current and proud holder of the Baton. Please don't ask why I have it I could tell you who gave it to me, think of a man fishing for crappie in a $ 30,000 + jet boat :shocked: .
Come on wth it is all I want to say.

Fishalot :smile:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Fishalot just called me a doughball in another thread. He evidently did'nt read the instructions that I put there. Just goes to prove what a NOVICE BATON holder he is. :shocked: Fishacracker, Your description of two men pulling in one fish might be right. A 12 footer would more than test your manhood. :tongue:

O'cityfisherman, I am working on my teammates right now. If I have one give me a "NO" I'll let you know. I have one that is not sure so I guess he has to ask permission from his mommy or something :rolleyes: You know, kind of like Fishin Eddie.

Thanks for the warning ******. It does get a little nasty up there at that time of the year. Long as it is blow down the gorge at less than 25 we should be ok :shocked: .

Mel, I have no idea how long a trip it is up from your area. I would think it to be at least 1 1/2 hour trip. :hoboy: That and you would need 800ft of anchor rope for that skiff of yours.

Husker: Fishalot=BATON HOLDER although it truely should belong to FM2springerlessboy. graemlins/icon_argue.gif

[Miss B Haven]

C&E - I already know how far it is, to dang far (about 70 miles by water =4 hrs one way). You didn't answer the question about "how far below Bonne" counts as "in"? :wink:

PS - I use all chain so I only need about 400 feet! graemlins/stupid.gif

Hey miss B, I want to go sturgeon fishing in your boat. as long as its not to windy. How big is your boat, 38 or 42 can't remember?

[No Wishin Just Fishin]

Isn't the river closed above Beacon Rock to boat fishing or is that only in the spring??

[Tilla]

C and E,

BEWARE THE SLED THAT'S GONNA PUT YOU TO BED! :shocked: :shocked:

Uh, ****** you're not coming right? :rolleyes: Whew!

[get hooked]

If I don't have to work I'll try to be there. With my layoff notice inhand I have to work all I can until the end. Might also have room for someone. I'll keep in touch. You know you can't give the baton to a novice like me though. I'd probably get it bloody bonking fish. :grin:

I've been watching for the Blue Asalter to show on this topic. Weather permitting? Come on Rick. If ya want a rope tender, let me know..... :wink:

Watch out for the Polar Bear..... :tongue:

[TEXAS RIG]

:grin: Hey catch & eat I think you woke up some gator hunters. :tongue: And yes this bass fisherman knows how to catch gators also.

[Tilla]

Nan Nan nanoo Uhhh, I hear my mom calling me...I gotta go now. graemlins/1zhelp.gif :wink:
And all of you stay away from Zipperlipmania Island too. :rolleyes:
As far as the weather is concerned, not much to worry about if you have enough "Top Gun" canvas, propane, and a "whole lotta chain" with that anchor. :shocked:
Time for my brudda's "pigs in a blanket" baits! Woo Hoo!!!! :tongue:

[Tacklebuster]

Sturgeon Challenge hugh, count me in. I pitty the fool that's not in my boat :grin:

I will have a buddy with me but have an open seat for anyone needing a ride.

Let the games begin.........

[CATCH AND EAT]

Gator hunters???? :hoboy: More like a bunch of "unknowns" :hoboy: This masquerade of fisher......ah doughballs should be interesting.

Just can't believe you guys think you even have a chance of catchin a keeper gator. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Hey Billy, you bringin the Crappie bait????

[ 11-19-2002, 08:40 AM: Message edited by: CATCH AND EAT ]

[Nuttinbutnet]

"Gator Challenge?" More like "Gator Challenged!". From what I can read here, you boys better stop at 7/11 and pick-up some "Gatorade" as that might be as close as you get. It will also keep your electrolytes up in cold weather as you sit and dream! December, cold, wind, and rain! I love it! I was born for this! It is my destiny to dominate doughballs!!!! AAAHHHH! Sorry guys, I think they have kept the season closed way to longand it has really stressed me out! Count me in on the 7TH.

Folks, he ain't kidding around on that one ! Trust me, I've seen him TRY to anchor in a small little hogline. Scary stuff. :wink: :wink:

You guys are doing this sturgeon thingy because you have a hard time with the salmonoids . ? ! ? ! ?

Isn't how that whole baton thing started with you fellas anyways, springers ???? :grin:

Tsk, tsk. Poor little shakers. The keepers are surely safe with this mini-nocatcha happening !

Don't forget to keep the worms warm graemlins/idea.gif

[fishingfirst]

Well you can add my boat to your mini-flotilla. I will have another IFISHer with me...Kevray will be tagging along.

If any of you want to see what the keepers look like just stop by and take a look! We will be the ones with the limit of fish and battling the oversize! We would even be willing to let you take a picture of them for future reference :grin:

Scott

[CATCH AND EAT]

Ah....yeah.....right FWF1. That professional anchoring job that day was a sight. Glad you got to see it. I was even amused. Never said I was perfect. Just "forgiven" :wink: . BTW How did that huge gash in your boat come out anyways :wink:

Unfortunately, you are right about the salmoniods concerning me. 4 trips and no fish. I'm a falldoughball. :blush:

So FWF1 you go salmon fishin with all your coveted cavair collections and we will fight the big boys that day. :tongue: :wink: Oh yeah, that big gash, I did it on purpose. :shocked: :grin:

After that story I should have my pick of where to anchor. They will see me coming an hoist up the white flag, pick up their ball and go home. :cheers:

[Tacklebuster]

Things seem to be getting interesting. Looks as if I will have two big red's in my boat. I still may have one open seat. My buddy may have prior things he can't slip away from.

I don't know if WaterDog still has a rod. If so, we can always dub that the Baton if Fishalot "accidently" leaves his at home :shocked:

We should do a roll call before hand somewhere and get a little grub.

Neutron,
You in on this? Oh yea, your probably too busy making plans to take me out Steelhead fishing since your ducks are making my earlier predictions hold true :shocked:

[WaterDog]

Scratch and seep, your in for a whoppin. If the Tacklebuster is in the hood, you better bring your game face and then put an extra face in your pocket. Make sure you ware painter pants so the baton can go in the loop. :tongue: I’ve fished next to T a few times and he has got some kind of juju when it comes to sturgeon. I don’t want to ruin his juju so I’ll sit this one out. But if the weather is favorable maybe I’ll drag my ride up there and cheer a few of you on. Hey BOE where is team minimal impact?

Husker, if you and T hook up bring your note pad, school is in session. :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

:hoboy: :sleep: :tongue: :grin: The only thing I worry about is if little husker is goin. He's the only possible threat.

Waterdog. You spend way to much time "sittin this one out". :rolleyes: Get your motor running and get with the program.

As far as BOE showing up.....now that could put the fish OFF the bite. :shocked:

[Fishing Eddie]

Ok, Ok, Ok, lets get some things straight here, First the baton, there is one and only one springer baton and Wishalot has a firm grip on it and will not let go until he catches a springer :hoboy:2 IwishIcouldcatchsoIcouldeat will carry the sturgeon baton for saturday the 7th and with any luck will have the pleasure of handing it off to some un lucky soul after we done and the smoke settles :shocked: Texas Rig will bring the crappie bait, Tilla will be showing us how not to hit ducks while in a boat, Fishrite will be called pickle lip, NO FISH I hope will show up for his woppen, SnapShot you better be there, BOE please :rolleyes: Reaper Keeper I hope you have some hide on your backside cause you two will be getting spaaank. It's going to be a fun one graemlins/applause.gif

[CATCH AND EAT]

"IwishIcouldcatchsoIcouldeat". Geth-soon-tight (spelled phenetically so you could understand FishlessBettyBoop. :shocked: Stuff some Kleanex up your nose cause I think your brains have liquified and are draining out any and all openings in your head.

As for the Baton. I will be more than happy to brandish it for the day. Not to proud to hand it off at days end.

Now as for any wanna be involved fisherman that do not have rides to this event you might want to list your names here or e-mail those that are advertising open seating. Don't forget that there is some bank access up there too and that is legal in this round of the baton chase.

Someone suggested meeting for breakfast that morning. I am open to that but beware of those that tend to camp on prime fishing spots (Finclippled Eddie does this).

As stated I have a team of four folks in my boat. Would prefer to stay at four but if push came to shove I could do 5 if it is necessary.

Hey Lipripper, you going to be out for this one???? It's not as bad as the ocean. :shocked: Sure like to see ya here if you are not still killing salmon.

FWF1 You gonna do this???? :sleep:

if it ain't freezing and howling, we might go up. <font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Saying something like that is a sure sign of old age :wink:

Bernie - There must be no accidents in your hood or you would be pounding dents and not smack talking, that is what you were trying to do wasnt it?? ... smack talk???? :whazzup: :whazzup:

Dont worry about me putting the fish off the bite, I got a company x-mas party the night before and then will be doing some home chores that weekend after I sober up. :wink: Hunting season is over and the honey do list is long.

I just checked the long range weather forecast and it looks like rain on 12/7, dont plan on seeing Waterdog there, Rain means water spots and that doesnt happen on the USS wetdog :wink:

[Fishalot]

Man I can't keep up with all this smack talk when I'm out working. I come home and the kids are playing the duck hunting game on the computer :mad: . I don't even know where to start ? I don't even read what Pick & Eat has to say :tongue: Texas BBQ is what Billy is going to get :shocked: Fishing Egghead is down at the store getting goldfish for bait :hoboy: . All others better read what Tilla wrote, then again you won't show up to be shown up.
I have not read this much smack for a long time and I hope I don't have to for a while to come. Ha Rod I like my pancakes with blueberries, eggs over easy and coffee with cream.

Fishalot

[CATCH AND EAT]

Actually Roy-O we are pretty dang busy right now. Just like to keep track of the smack when I have a second or two. BTW did you ever bag an animal this year or did you go on a walk the weight off plan? And a long list of Honey do's. he he he he......Ya sure its not a "vertically challenged List"?? :wink: :tongue:

Fishinonthepot :grin: Oh man, my gut is just bust'in thinking of you trying to catch a keeper. Seeing you in action last time with o'l fishinbettyboop how the heck are you guys going to tell if it is a real bite or not. :hoboy:

******, you going to attend the sacred event or you just trash talking to hear yourself talk? graemlins/hearton.gif It would be nice to see a pro amoungst all these Doughballs.

[Miss B Haven]

Are you guys even talking about the same fish I'm after! I mean you got such little bitty boats, I'd hate to see you all get sucked under playing with the big boys. Whole turkeys (on sale right after Thanksgiving), 5/16 chain for line and 300hp cats pulling 'em off the bottom. That is what we're fishing for here right? Wooohhooo! :grin:
Even if you stay afloat I don't want to have to come rescue you if you're pulled halfway to Japan! (I will be glad to give you the ifish salute as you go by though). :wink:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Mel, put your name in the hat and get up there. Somebody will give you a ride so you don't have to burn the entire U.S. back reserves of fosil fuel. CAN SOMEONE GIVE MEL A RIDE!!!???? He'll leave the skunk at home. Promise. :grin:

[Miss B Haven]

C&E - I already said I'm in. I'll just be fishin' WAY below Bonnie (like halfway to Astoria). :grin:

[get hooked]

Attention everyone!!! Tacklebuster has invited us all over for breakfast before we head for the river. Thanks Tacklebuster. Now tell us your address. :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Thanks Tacklebuster, most generous of you. What's for breakfast??????? :grin:

Mel, good deal! Glad you're in. No fishin with the Natives now. You know the rules. :wink:

[TEXAS RIG]

graemlins/idea.gif Bernie I will be bringing my gator bait its all the crappie heads I saved from my Brownlee trip. I don't waste anything its great gator bait & you don't have any I'm sure. I will be selling some after I have caught & released a bunch of keepers on the 7th. And Dylan the BBQ will be going in the Texas Rig Gator K Bobs is my favorite. :grin:

[Fishalot]

C&E That is why I will be in Tilla's Sled, this way I might know when a fish is biting and not just Rod clowning around. We will have two of the most ( unknown ) fishing experts on the boat that day graemlins/applause.gif . If any of you are thinking of stopping for donuts that morning forget about it, Stop & Eat will have every donut between Foster Blvd and The Fishery bought out :shocked: . Please Mr. Catch & Eat can I have just one donut, get away from me little kid these are for fishing.

Fishalot

[CATCH AND EAT]

I would only deny you a donut Fishinonthepot. Seems you have the donut thingy "wiped out" :shocked: Do you order in advance. Besides, I hear the Ritz Cracker Flame barge will be serving Jello Pudding after we bust their chops on this board. Be kind of nice to have that flappy jaw of Wishlist Eddie wired shut. graemlins/program.gif

I truly feel sorry for the tortured soles on that barge. :rolleyes:

Texas Rig, you keep them Crappie head away from me. You eat 'em bud. Them sturgeon will stay away from'em that day. May as well be tossing top water bass jigs. :cheers:

[Fishalot]

Billy pleazzzzze you will be eating Smelt K bobs
or batter dipped eel.
I can hear it now, Rod thouse pancakes with raisens are good, thouse are not raisens. Billy is now thinking about the Doe Rod shot 2 weeks before :shocked: .

Fishalot I hope your not caring two batons after the 7th. I don't think anyone would ever let you forget it . :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

[Fishalot]

I hope not also, there is no where to hang a 2nd one in the house :wink: . I'm still sanding the dents from your grip on the Salmon baton graemlins/berry.gif .

Have plenty of baits to offer, just can't do much for labor (i.e. tossing anchors and such).

How far below Bonnie are we talking ? I bet I could hustle up a ride if you were including the KP area. Someone I know likes to try that area :wink:

But then again, if we're too far away from the game, we cant's go graemlins/berry.gif graemlins/berry.gif graemlins/berry.gif each time we put back anything under 50" :shocked: :shocked: to Catch some Sleep's team !

Where is the Keeper Reaper you are being allful quite. Can you not handle all this trash talk. Just remember crappie heads is the best bait. :grin: And where is Mo fish he's going to have to change the name of his boat if he don't get that unit in the water. :tongue:

Ok here is a dumb lady..........I want to catch a big fish...where and how???? Help?

[ChrisN]

So, how far down can we fish ???

Like I said, I'm game if I can get a lift, and my potential lift doesn't want to freeze while fishing. Me either.

So, can we fish downriver to be safe or what? I'm not much for big breakers either :sick: , or howling wind all day.

What's the rules ?

Chris :cool:

[glajoy]

well...guess I better be able to read all the postings and then even between the lines....LOL any emails would be appreciated..I will try another time. Thanks for the great site!! Joy glajoy2@yahoo.com

[get hooked]

Glajoy, You obviously slipped in here on us. The rule is you need to tell us something about you and a good fish story. Then your answers will be returned three fold. Welcome aboard.

[MADWIZERD]

glajoy
these guys are going to sturgeon fish below bonniville dam.not sure if that answers your question.

[Tacklebuster]

What I'll be serving for breakfast that day consists of this.....

3 Keepers over easy.
A side of 8 foot oversize hawg
A tall glass of Whoop Butt for anyone not in my boat
And last but not least Cry and Weep and the rest of his tream in a doggy bag to go :grin:

Just so you know, my boat has never been out sturgeon fished, EVER. What WaterDog said is the truth. Anyone that has ever fished beside me knows. I'm gonna turn Husker into a sturgie catching machine.

Thanks for the kind words WaterDog. I'll hook you up with another killer Astoria trip next summer.

[Tacklebuster]

Catch and Eat,
I hope you don't live by your moniker cause if ya do, all you will be eating that day is left over smelt wrapped with squid and a little smelly sauce on the side :wink:

To make it as fair as I can, I will take two people along that have been down on their luck for awhile as far as sturgie fishing goes. So that means WaterDog and Hummm...... :tongue:
Just playing Rich, where have you been lately?

I still have an open seat............ Let the beating begin :cheers:

[husker]

tacklebuster--sent u an email

[CATCH AND EAT]

Tacklebuster, you got to be kidding me. WATERDOG?????? :whazzup: Does he even have a rod any more? Husker sent you an e-mail. It should arrive next week via wagon train. :shocked: :wink: :grin: Did ya grease the wheels Ron?

This is great, the participation is picking up. :smile: The smack is "so so" and Fishalot is the reigning BATON holder. :hoboy:

Should be a fun day. Pray for Sunshine, no Rain and no wind. Temps in the 50's would be nice too. :cheers:

My team is put together and the odd's are stacked in our favor. :tongue:

[Fishing Eddie]

What I see on the menu is a whole lot of crow graemlins/berry.gif I can't believe all you guys and gals are jumping on this like white on rice. Tacklebuster C&E told me that's a good name for you because when he fished with you, you would trip over the tackle boxes and broke alot of tackle :grin: As for Fishing from the pot I wondered why he wanted a picture with that dead sturgeon :whazzup: Texas Rig Please dump all those crappie heads for the last time they don't work, I guess MOFISH has tucked his tail under his legs and took off running,
Fishrite where is he? Keeper Reaper this a little rough for you? Bernie told me his favorite add on to his bait is butt juice :hoboy: what is that??? I will say this after we are done depending how tired my arms are.I might be at the dock to sign my new book 101 ways to serve crow because I think there will be plenty to go around :cheers:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Sheezzz....rules, rules, rules, What a bunch of cryin whiners. :tongue: Okay, here it is, and I hope this is okay since this is Fishin Eddies Challenge not mine. Thanks Rod!!! graemlins/applause.gif

You must fish the Columbia. You do know where that is FWF1? :hoboy: Pictures would be nice of the days catch with dimensions please. The main group will be up by the dam preferraby. If the weather is nasty then the challenge will move to Kelly Point where Banananook and his wife FWF1 are fishing :shocked: :wink: because its warmer there. :hoboy:

It's too bad that Waterlogged and Barnicles On Epidermous (BOE) will not attend. On the other hand the fishing should be good that day. :cheers:

No official start time, just come out to have some fun. From what I have seen on this thread there will be a free clinic from our buddy Tacklewithmusturd on how to catch undersized sturgeon. At the end of the day he will demonstrate how to pick up his ball and go home. :tongue:

All i-fishers are welcome. This is after all an i-fish Sturgeon Challenge. Dress warm and bring plenty of bait. These dudes are going to be hungry.

[O'City Fisherman]

OK, I am feeling very very lucky to have made it through all the lay offs in my area.
I now need to hook up with someone for this trip to be able to use this luck streak and bring in some big keepers and other oversize.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Okay, who's going to step up to the plate and give Mr. Lucky Oregoncityfisherman a boat ride for this Challenge? :smile: He's a good guy with a job so he can kick in bait and gas money. Who feels lucky??? :cool:

[Tacklebuster]

Sorry OC Fisherman, my boat is full. If I have any bail on me I will let you know.

Fishless EddieMunster,
If CryandWeep did ever fish with me he would have learned a thing or three and would not have to componsate for his fishing skills (or lack therof) with smart butt remarks. TackleBox for sturgeon fishing, PLEASE graemlins/stupid.gif

I will however demonstrate pulling my ball and heading home after limiting everyone on my boat and playing with a few biguns. Say what you will but take my advice. Watch and learn so next year I may have a challenge :wink:

As for the smarty remarks graemlins/berry.gif Just part of the fun. The way Husker is remarking here you would think this is the Survivor Series for the WWE. :hoboy: But don't worry, my black eye will heal in time for revenge. graemlins/hearton.gif

Shouldn't you be down with the other warm weather fisherman at Kelly Point! Bonneville is pretty big water for you, but that's ok just stay close and we'll take care of you! :grin:

I am ready and waiting to kick some tail end off these guys. send me an email to confirm everything and whatever you want me to bring with me. Thanks Eddie.

[norms gone fishing too]

I would love take part in this. What are the rules. and how do i win the baton

norm

[WaterDog]

Since I aint whipped like some of you, graemlins/berry.gif I’m on the water almost every weekend. We all know the BIG fish are at Kelly Point. I’ve caught those skinny snakes up in the gorge before. The only good thing about the gorge is the quantity of fish. So while you girls are fighting the west wind trying to stay on your anchor with your kicker in reverse, I’ll most likely be somewhere around Kelly Point. :smile:

Fishingfirstatwillaminapond, you better leave the walmart trout rod at home. Oh and don’t bother with your powerbait either. :wink:

Hey BOE, I don’t do honey-do’s. A honey-do means “honey, do it yourself cuz I’m fishin.” And I aint afraid of the rain, that is what wax is for. :tongue:

Don’t sing it, just bring it! :grin:

Boy!! The slank-liners are really throwin' some backlashs around. :grin: I hear a lot of talkin'. Someone is going to get the baton pretty soon. Hey, have you guys ever seen the good paint job that Rodo can put on a car (and boat....the flames are his doin'). I think that we ought to pass the baton his way every time it gets ruffed up....that way it could be lookin' good all the time. graemlins/applause.gif I don't think that I'm going to be able to make the 7th....but I sure would like to be there to see Fishalot hand off the beeeton!! Has anyone seen Texas Rig lately? :whazzup: .... I think that he is out there scouting or maybe he has one tied up under water somewhere from last season so he won't get the " freshly painted stick" :grin: ....u know what ? I really think that a new baton would look real good in that beautiful "Thunder Jet"....don't you? :cheers: Fishrite

[CATCH AND EAT]

I hear Texas Rig is tied up that weekend. Something about being gone 3 weeks in a row. :shocked: Just another lame excuse by hiding under the skirt the trouser wear woman of the house. (no offense ladies, just a guy jab there. hope ya understand). :hoboy:

Waterbogged, you just blabbing your mouth off with no proof in the puddin. Take your lazy self to KP. No problem, just put up or shut up SON. :tongue:

Oregoncityfisher, you may want to know more about Rod before you fish with him. O'l "SpongeRodSquarePants" is a trickster so be very careful and watch your rod closely. Don't jump to soon or you will be the Butt of the joke for the day. graemlins/1zhelp.gif You remember the old show "Lost In Space"? Remember the Robot? "Danger Will Robinson, Danger". Just keep that in mind. :wink:

Fishonthepot, what do ya have to say for yourself????? Mighty quiet. Sturgeon got ya tongue???

Miss BEEEEEEhiven, I know you know how to stir up a hornets nest. You taken that tube to Kelly Point are ya. Just watch out for the pilings. Seen many a big boy on those puppies. If you see Nanananananook there be sure to squeeze him out of his spot. :cheers:

[O'City Fisherman]

I am sure glad to see how much everyone loves to fish, because otherwise there is no reason for anyone else to show up. All that is going to happen is you will get wet, cold and hungry since there will be no stamping of your cards. You will catch some fish but likelyhood of getting into the good gators is very slim.

You all know that you can not compete with the likes of team OnFire :tongue:

It is sorta like asking the the northwest pro and college teams to win the big one. JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN any time soon. You will all come close in 2nd/3rd and so on but never make it to the top.

God I like to see the spirit in you all but lets face the facts. You just can not show up and expect to win. Its that simple.

Yes more razing at the Xmas party please.

A message for all of us........ "The sun shines not on us, but in us....The rivers run not past us, but through us". :smile: :smile: .....Keep your lines tight!! graemlins/lurk.gif Fishrite

[fishingfirst]

Team On Fire, you've got so many Rookies on that team, the only heat you will be bringing is whatever you boy scouts can get out of your flint and steel! :shocked: Just make sure the fire is big enough to BBQ the sturgeon we bring over!

See you there!

Scott

[O'City Fisherman]

It seems that people forget that when you have two vets (that have pretty good clue of what to do) then add into the mix of two rooks there is no possible way that anyone else will be able to hook, picture, tag and brag about more fish than anyone else.

Go back (Some of you way back :tongue: )when you were a rookie and you will remember that the first time you went out gator hunting you caught and landing the most and largest fish of the day..

Don't lie to yourself you know that I am telling the truth..

[wetaline]

O'city i'll back you up on that philosopy.. the best way to win this tourney is go find the cutest "never caught a fish before, maybe i'll give it a try women "" .. and your gauranteed to smoke everybody....

My girlfriend this year.. never been fishing until she met me... biggest springer (27lb), biggest summer steeli (14lb), and many days this fall w/ her limit, in my boat.. and thats is saying a lot w/ the guys she was going against...

same for dudes too.. took a buddy out sturgeon fishing last year... he went on two trips, two keepers... me - nada keeper (for those two trips of course :smile: )

[CATCH AND EAT]

What's a rookie? Never been there myself. :rolleyes: SpongeRodsquarepants has been a rookie since he was knee high to a grasshopper. :whazzup: That Ritz Cracker boat does catch fish. Just never on Rod's line. :hoboy:

Rod, how do you like your Baton served? I hear a "spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down". :wink:

[Fishalot]

Pick & Eat the way to serve Rod the baton is to just throw it in the air and it will fall in his open mouth, that is only if you are not in the area because we all can see who has been posting the most :shocked: . You just all remember the name ( Sneakin Out ) because that is what the boat parked at the dock with a limit will have on the side of the boat.

Fishalot :grin:

Hey did Rod tell ya about the Phone call from Australia today? :hoboy: :grin:

[Fishalot]

Whatever Hooked & Lost. Are you still trying to catch a fish as big as your little Boys fish :shocked: . I know I know have heard it before graemlins/lurk.gif , I'm proud of my Boy's fish. Come on please it's eatin you up inside man.

Hello everyone my name is Bernnie and my son out fishes me.

Hope I did't hit a nerve Catch & Lick

Fishalot

[get hooked]

Okay, I just got a day pass from the better half to do the Challenge. I've got one passenger so far, but have room for one more. So if there is anyone who wants to brave it out there let me know. I do have a heater if you're a little thin skinned graemlins/idea.gif and a top on the boat also :sleep: . I'm at work right now so don't e-mail me at home. At least not at the moment. We'll be the Beattle Bombs of this Challenge. The dark horse if you will. Watch out we're going to sneak in and steal the show. :cheers:

[Fishrite]

Hey Fishalot, FM2, CatchandEat, Texas Rig, and the rest of you guys. I have to come to the rescue for my buddy Fishing Eddie. He did guide me over a very large Springer this last year....don't forget that! And ya know what he told me? He was thinking of guiding another one of his buddies over a large Nook, so ya'll better be nice :grin: :grin: .....and that Texan he does know something about Crappie fishing......I'm here to tell you he knows something.....he laid a spankin' on me at Brownlee this last spring. :tongue: :tongue: Fishrite

[Fishalot]

Come on Fishin at Night you don't have to put in a good word for your friends, we all know that they are ok guys :wink: . Now tell Rod he can stop crying on you shoulder :depressed: .
Rod you go put some lead in a deer this time will ya? Billy where are the papers that come with the baton? and why did you drill the holes in the end of the baton? I remember it was for the gold chain so you could hang it around yo neck. Here comes MR. Texas Rig , hay you boys get out my way I the one fishin in this here spot.

Fishalot

[Tacklebuster]

FishingandICameInLast,
How do you know I keep my sturgeon buster in the garage? You must be stalking me trying to learn a thing or two :wink: Tell ya what, when I get into the Christmas spirit, I will do a charity lesson and shed some knowledge down your way.

It's gonna take a lot more than a prison guard in Sector 2 to put the mighty Tacklebuster to shame. Remember girls, this is my thing. I will give credit where it is do to all you Salmon/Steelhead slayers but when it comes to the sturgies, look out.

The day after turkey day my team will be around the K-Point area getting warmed up. Anyone thats up for a smack talking, fish catching, knowledge trading trip ought to come on down.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Alright, looks like we are getting a bunch of folks together for this event of bitter cold, chilling wind and white water anchoring. :cool: graemlins/applause.gif Should be a great time to meet fellow i-fishers and bag some keeper gators.

On another thread "Sturgeon Challenge Teams" please post who will be fishing in your boat or on the bank. Does'nt matter where in the Columbia you fish it is just a time to get together and show who is BOSS! Keep in mind, weather permiting, most will be fishing up near the Fishery at Bonniville. Some less hearty folks will be fishing at Kelly Point. :rolleyes: Should the wind become a major issue we may all end up at Kelly Point.

Still an open invitation out there to All
i-fish'ers to join in. There are still some folks requesting a boat ride. If you have room invite them. :cool:

Tacklebuster, I see you have competition out there in prison city. :shocked:

[fishingfirst]

We must have scared TB off! Either that or he is still laughing? :wink:

[Tacklebuster]

WishingIWasFishingButICameInLast,
There is a winning boat from Sheridan, that's the only truthful thing you have said so far. Too bad you won't be on it :shocked:

I am a little curious on my "Prison Town" doppleganger though. Who are you?

Looks as if Husker and myself will run a triple option offense on you weak Pac-10 sturgie wannabees :wink:

I do like the smart remarks graemlins/hearton.gif I will be looking forward to seeing you guys. Heck if it's windy enough I may even fly the ol Jolly Roger.
Looks like we got a lot of participation for this. I think we are going to have a blast :cheers:

As far as shying away from rough water goes, PLEASE. My boat has seen water that would send lesser of a man back to the dock.

[CATCH AND EAT]

He's the cell block guard in section two. Hey, that's your cell TB right. Glad they are lettin ya out for this one. Got to love those mini paroles for the weekend. :cheers:

Put your teams name on the other thread TB. Looking forward to meetin ya, I mean beatin ya at the Challenge. :smile:

Hey Fishin Eddie, seen any Aussies lately???? :shocked:

I am thinking about of showing all of you how it's done. I am working on my team at the moment. I will get back with you when I know more.

[Spooled]

Sturgeon fishing........like watchin' paint dry. :rolleyes:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Here we go with the "like watching paint dry" thing again. Spooled, "when"? you get a keeper on you will be hooked. :hoboy: Nothing like positive vibes from a plain old one species fisherman. :rolleyes: From my own teamate too. graemlins/berry.gif

[Tilla]

Thank you Spooled graemlins/applause.gif ...hear that Sneaky one!
But.....I have quite of bit of patience! :rolleyes:
Who'd a thought that Catfish got that big anyway! :grin:
And I enjoy giving an old fashioned spanking :shocked:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Could'nt help but notice the Avatar Tilla. Looks like your team mascot for the 7th. A boat load of Turkeys. :tongue:

[Fishing Eddie]

Spooled, fishing with Catch & Eat is like watching paint dry :depressed: That's just like a trip with Bernie :grin:

[Uglygreen]

I would go. If anyone has an extra seat, I would ride.

Or I could put the ugly green boat in if anyone wants to ride w/me. No sissys however, no top - no heater.

Chris - you still lookin for a ride?

UG

[fishingfirst]

Tackle un busted,

Are you kidding me, I just took a guess at the boat in the garage thing. If my boat was that ugly I wouldn't want to show it off either! :shocked: That might be trouble.......dissin' a guy's boat......look out! graemlins/stupid.gif

And what's this about you have to go down after Turkey day and "warm up"???? With all of the smack you've been talking and now you tell us you have to go "practice" come on.....I thought you new how to do this already????

CHECK PLEASE! This party is over!

Is there anyone else out there that might be considered as a competitor in this event....Tacklebuster just showed us he is not of our caliber..........."warm up" ........still cracks me up.......let us know when you get it figured out! :grin: :grin:

[Tacklebuster]

ICantFishSoICameInLast,
I can see I will take much pleasure out of giving your "Team" a whoopin in a couple of weeks. If you had a 1/4 of the boat I have you would happier than a kid before Christmas.

As far as warming up, I'm taking Husker and little Husker out to get their feet a little wet before the big dance. You can talk your smack and hide behind your computer or be a man and meet us out in the river. Whatcha say hot shot :grin:

Chris

[WaterDog]

Fishinginmybathtubfirst,

Just cuz a guy puts his boat in the garage doesn’t mean its ugly. More like it’s always ready to go on a moments notice. Load bait, hook up to truck, go fish. About that fast too. :tongue: Of course you may be one of these guys that has to ask their mommy if you can have a kitchen pass. :rolleyes: Guys like Chris and I fish all the time, no permission required. :grin: So put down the 2x4’s, grab your cracker pole, and show us what you got! graemlins/berry.gif

[fishingfirst]

Rundownbusteduptackle,

Ok I have to admit, you are correct on the boat thing, your boat is a little bigger than mine. If you look accross the street my boat is identical to your neighbors (the blue and white Sylvan), minus the swim platform......and what's that all about who swims off of a fishing boat?? Either way it is still enough boat to best team "Busted" in the upcoming challenge.

What day are you fishing at Kelly Point.....Saturday or Sunday? I am going out of town for Thanksgiving, but will be back Saturday afternoon, I can get out there on Sunday if you guys are going that day..... then you can show me all of your "secrets"!

Scott

[fishingfirst]

Dogwater,

I've got to sell the 2x4's before I can go fishing! Working on that though!

Scott

[Fishrite]

Sounds like the Sturgeon Challenge is on. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Haven't heard so much "trash talk', since I stopped coaching basketball. :grin: :grin: I can see it now. The shrimp will be flyin' everywhere. :hoboy: Watch out for the "Texas Rig"...he throws a mean crappie head. graemlins/applause.gif graemlins/applause.gif Fishrite

[WaterDog]

Hey Chris,

Wife is talking about fishing on Friday, the day after turkey day. Daughter is with us and hasn’t caught a fish since we(they) spanked them at Astoria. I’ll have the A-team with me. :grin: If the fishing is decent I’ll be out there through the weekend.

Fishingwiththetidybowlman,

You’re a good sport. :smile: See ya on the river.

There hasn’t been this much trash talkin’ since the spring flotilla. :grin:

Got smelt?

[fishingfirst]

H2OK9,

I have enjoyed the trash talking as well! Look forward to meeting and totally demolishing you guys next month!

And what's this about smelt???????? Do sturgeon bite on those? :wink:

Scott

[Tacklebuster]

This is getting good. We got Rich and his family, Scott and his bros, my daughter, myself, Husker, and his son on the river the day after Turkey day. Let's give those sturgies some Thanksgiving grub hugh :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Man is it gettin deep. I have to wear my hip waders just to post on this thread. My sides are splitting from laughing so hard.

All I can say is bring your game faces on the 7th ladies. For some of you it's going to be a long day. :shocked: Especially Tacklemusturd.

So Waterdog, I take it that since you be a flappin your jaw that you will be participat'in?? Good boy if you are. I'll be checking for scars on your ankles from the o'l ball and chain. :wink:

I got an e-mail regarding rules and such. There are no real set rules except you must fish with your friends on December 7th. There are no awards or prizes except for one. The BATON. That goes to the biggest skunk of the day :hoboy:

A little history lesson could be clarified better by Fishin Eddie who initially awarded a BATON to Fishalot during the Springer SEASON. Though rightly belonging to FM2 it was retained by Fishalot just because. :grin: Just something fun that we have been doing to rib each other a little.

With that said, this is simply to be and only to be a fun day. We don't really care where you fish for Sturgeon just do it. However, our goal is to fish up in the Gorge near the Fishery. We would enjoy meeting any of you that can make it up there. Meeting each other is what this is about. Just a little friendly competition added into the mix.

Your reward? Put your picture on i-fish for all the world to see and get complements from other jealous fisher-persons. :cheers: In otherwords JUST HAVE FUN!!!!! graemlins/applause.gif

[fishingfirst]

And for those of you that can't catch fish (Ticklebuster, Waterpuppy).......you get to have your fun here just talking smack!

Scott - Team "Santa's Sleighers" spokesman

[WaterDog]

Crash & Dent, I will be fishing somewhere. And you can look at my ankle but no further. :shocked: No shackle marks there unlike the marks you got around your neck from your choke chain. :tongue: I see I’m gonna hafta go get a digital camera as an early Christmas present just to keep things honest.

As far as rules go Bernie, your not going to bring a bobber rod are ya? I don’t think pogey’s should count. :tongue: :grin:

[get hooked]

Hatch and cheat, Is there going to be any kind of rendevuos (sp) at the end of the day? Maybe so some of us can meet the others who weren't fishing where the fish were. :cheers:

[Fishing Eddie]

Wind is forcast to be strong!!! on the 7th. Weathermen said, seems to be a whole of jaw smacking trash talking going on graemlins/icon_argue.gif
Seems to me that OC fishermen & I will have to put you all in your place :shocked:
Leaving for a doe hunting trip with Texas Rig and Fishrite. I'll be back :wink:

[fishingfirst]

What do you get when you combine an Oregon City Fisherman and a Fishing Eddie from Clackamas?????

A sturgeon challenge team that can't catch fish at Bonneville!

[Fishing Eddie]

Scott you stay close enough we might let you have some of our small ones. Might even hand off depending on how sad you guy's look :whazzup:
Fishing from a Pot I know will be looking for a hand off. IfIcouldCatchIwould'ntsleep Bernie his boat will be, how did spooled say it watching paint dry :sleep:
It's funny how many of you guys are going to see if you can catch any before the 7th :hoboy: Not to sure of yourself???

[WaterDog]

Fishin Betty, it aint that we are not sure of ourselves. :rolleyes: We do this all winter long darn near every weekend or day off. Some yoyo issues a challenge and just because we were going to go anyway it’s like we need the practice. I don’t think so. Still seem to me some of you need a little more weaning. :wink:

[fishingfirst]

Fishing cruddy,

I originally was not going to go out prior to the 7th, but those other guys that need practice so bad (Tackleless, and inneedofwater dog) just wouldn't leave me alone, they are so afraid that we are going to out fish them that they insisted that I give them a lesson prior to the challenge. It would have stressed them out too much if they had to wait and worry about it until next month.

If it really bothers you that much, I guess you can come out and play on the same day, I have an extra blackboard and a piece of chalk for you as well! :tongue: School will be in session, don't be tardy!

Scott

[get hooked]

Some of you, I think are in the wrong thread. This is a FISH CATCHING CHALLENGE, :tongue: not for the fish catching CHALLENGED!!!! graemlins/eek13.gif Only the strong need apply!!! graemlins/applause.gif

[Tanner]

I am now in and MudGizzard, You, my friend, are going down! graemlins/eek13.gif What's this about a pretty boat? The Red Beast loves eating pretty boats.

Team Big Ol' Red Beast is just gonna have to show all you ifish cheeseballs how to catch Columbia River Gators.

[fishingfirst]

I don't think that there are any "cheeseballs" here that will be too worried about Team " Big ZERO Red Beast" It seems like Tanner is more worried about being back by 5:30 than anything else, if it takes you that long to catch fish, then possibly you should start with an easier challenge.......try free fishing day at the stocked trout ponds! :shocked: I think the Cedar Creek hatchery even opens up one day for the kids to catch fish in their holding ponds, this might be more your speed!

Well WateredDownEggNog ya pooch. I gotta admit the choker chain is on for the next two weeks. But the kitchen passes are stacking up. :grin:

Talkalot, you might want to offer some testimony about what it is like to hold the BATON. These folks have'nt got a clue.

[O'City Fisherman]

Thats right Catch and Fumble we are only going to catch the females.. This means that we getting everything over 6+'. God is this going to be fun..

For most of you the anticipation of the catch will be much better than the catch graemlins/eek13.gif . It's ok, don't worry we will give you credit for trying. :grin:

[Mofish]

I'M BACK !!!!!

I just can not believe that Fishin Eddie got all you to bit.

Did he tell you that he would only be out a 1/2 day?

Next thing he is going to say it only take Him a 1/2 day to bag his limit. Ya right.

Just so you all know I won't be able to show you how it's done.

Out of town.

It just wont be the same without the buger king out there.

You all have a great time and safe fishing.

God Bless Mofish

[CATCH AND EAT]

OCfisherman, catching females???? YOU???? The only eggs you have ever cured are the ones you put on the Thanksgiving table. Deviled Eggs. You go ahead, catch those caviar producers Sonny.

you do know that bait you use, that you get floating in the the Willamette after a heavy rain wont work up here. you should stay close to that cesspool were you got your bait.you don't want to play with the big boys. :wink:

if it takes you that tell 5:30 to get the smelt out of your little red purse,on the hook, and a real fish close to the boat .i feel sorry for you.you better go to rainbow trout farm and work those little girly arms out before you play with a real fish. :tongue:

Spaghetti?? WHO's he???

if you cant pick a team better than that how do you stand a chance.(( spooled )) this is not steelhead fishing man.oh i see, if he gets skunked that will make your 42 1/4 look huge.the caption of any boat with skunks will get some lip too ya know. :tongue:

and to all you guys from Wilsonville and McMinnville, its not fair letting all your buddies in the orange jump suits do all your fishing for you.just in case you got any idias.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Dont' worry about my team. All but Spooled are seasoned veterans at the Sturgeon fishing. Not promising a whale, just results.

FishlessInMyBathtub,
Your boat looks identical to my neighbors hugh, so you are stalking me :wink: Your boat and his is nothing identical. He has tried to turn a fishing boat into a big plant pot with a swin step. He has used her about 2 times in the last 12 months :sick: Nothing like a perfectly good boat going to waste. You use yours, even though you don't catch anything :grin:

On a serious side, we plan on going out on Friday. If you can't make it and plan on going out on Sunday I could always arrange another trip. How bout it Rich, you busy that day? Let's go fishing :cool:

[Tacklebuster]

Get Bent, I mean Hooked,
Does us all a favor next time and put on a ball cap, the glare is bad for the eyes :shocked:

Whinesalot,
What I was refering to last spring about watching paint dry was you trying to catch a fish. I'm glad you remembered my boat though, I'm sure you'll be my shadow on the 7th. Don't worry, we will give you some sloppy seconds. I did like my new name you gave me though :grin:

Cry and Weep and IWishICouldFishButICameInLast,
Rich and Myself catch more fish on a slow day than you two yahoos put together in a pay pond. We fish for stugeon year round and we aint gonna change it because you jokers think were warming up. Seasoned sturgie busters fish on a regular basis, not just at a Sturgeon Challenge.

[fishingfirst]

TB,

I'll have our team together for Sunday, so lets see what that big old iron pig (sled) of yours can do!

As far as the garage priorty thing, my boat also has top billing. As long as I have a boat, the Tahoe will never see the inside of the garage, much to my wife's displeasure!

And no I am not stalking you, my daughter knows your wife from the daycare she used to go to. I have also talked to your better half at her work. I saw your neighbors boat while trick-or-treating with my daughter, it is too bad it is going to waste over there!

I really don't believe that you guys are not in the know about Fishalot being the most hook settinest guy fool when it comes to Mr. Sturgy. I expect to be nappin' away most of the day except when I will get a tap on the shoulder and hear "Mr. Tilla , your fish is on for you sir". Fishalot will hand off the rod at that point. Nuthin to it! :grin: Armed with Bruddah Tom's pigs in a blanket baits laced with WooHoochester sauce, even the Crab's will be crossing the CR bar to get to this stuff. :shocked:

get whipped

nice fish..that sure looks like the place in astoria at the visitors center where you can pay 5 buck and get your picture taken with a plastic fish.we wont be fishing down river that far.. are you sure in your old age you wll be able to find us up at the fishery early morning in the dark??
if not just shine a flash light at the huge bald dome of yours and the light coming off im sure will light up the way.when we whip up you out there you can take that frozer margerita mix you got in the bucket in that pic and drink your sorrows away..you better bring 2 buckets, your crew will need a drink to.i know you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk, ( without your walker ) :rolleyes: :shocked:

FF,
You should have stopped by and introduced yourself on Candy night. My wife saw your better half at the bank the other day. I told her to give you a hard time next time she sees ya :tongue: She really misses the kids at the DayCare but she's pretty happy at the bank.

Sunday sounds cool. It should be good fishing. We really got into em a week or so ago. See ya bro..........

[MADWIZERD]

sure is a lot of smack talking here. :shocked:

TB,

I have not been out since the last day of the season in Astoria ( we did manage to limit the boat). My fishing partners seem to still be fixed on salmon.......anybody can catch one of those! I am in need of a Sturgeon fix!
See you out there.

Scott

[ChrisN]

Students, your attention please !

We will be holding a special clinic for the sturgeon challenged on December 7th.

Those of you who have trouble catching gators ( 90 % of those on this thread graemlins/berry.gif ), should bring notepads, pencils,binocs or whatever other study aids you might need.

There will be a test at the end of class, so please pay attention :grin:

Class will be held at KP.

Please be on time, bring a #2 pencil, and one smelt.

For those that need extra help, there appears to be a study hall on Thanksgiving weekend.

Recess time class, see you there !

Chris :cool:

Scratch and sniff, for a guy who can't even catch a fish in tidewater you sure got a lot to say. :rolleyes: Remember, pogeys dont count. When you walk out and bend over to pick up your morning paper, remember that position. :wink:

Waterpoegy, anybody can stand at the dock and take pictures of other people fish. This is no proof you have any talent. Oh, and the paper in our neighborhood is delivered in one of those Oregonian yellow thingys. We don't bend over in our neighborhood. Since you mention bending over to pickup the paper I assume that the paper boy is just driving by and tossing the paper, hoping to not get shot. You live in a tough neighborhood DOG. "Deliverance". :shocked:

Fishininthepot, you sure talk a blue streak son, Since you will be feeling a little Yellow on the seventh if figure you are just mixing you colors a little. So when you see our fish I am sure your face will be GREEN with envy. Oh, green and yellow......better bring your brown pants to just in case. :grin:

Turkey baster graemlins/program.gif pretty slack jaw stuff you be spewin dude. Put the false teeth back in so we can understand what ya be saying. Yak yak yak.

Tanner, good name for ya youngster. The tanning of a lifetime will be yours, free of charge on the 7th. Might want to wear a skillet on your backside to lesson the the "woodshed experience". :wink:

MOFISH, I can't believe you're cop'in out on this one. We promise no to tie your boat to the dock as you drive away bro. :hoboy:

FWF1 I can just picture you on the water Dressed as an old school marm with a ruler in hand. Schools in session???? RIGHT, sure, un huh, okay, blah blah blah... Oh please :hoboy: Go stand in the corner with a little pointy dunce hat.

ChickenGIzzard, Baywatch might just be your venue. That pretty yellow boat does nothing but scare fish off. You might want to try Smelly Jelly Banana Scent and rub it on the boat to improve your odds. You might actually catch a bass that day.

you guys are killing with with all your chest beating and vocalizations.

[Tanner]

Snag and Eat (or is it Snag and Bury under the rose bushes cause it was too dark to eat),
We'll see who gets their hides tanned. Big Red is a sturgeon magnet of course you won't be able to fish within 200 yards of me because she just got a fresh coat of doughball repellant. graemlins/berry.gif

MudGizzard,
YOU HAVE A YELLOW BOAT???? ROTFLMAO. Go figure. Does it have crushed walnuts on the outside too, you know like the cheeseballs you can buy around Christmas time at the grocery store. :tongue: :cheers: :tongue:

Yeah, it probably will take me till at least 3:30 to limit my boat. especially considering I don't like to start sturgeon fishing until noon.

Actually, the reason I asked about the time is I was not sure if everyone was getting together afterwards or what. :rolleyes:

What in the world do you think you are thinking?????? There are not any tuna in the Scappoose area!! :shocked: :wink:
This is a sturgeon challenge! However if you would like to see what they look like, I would be willing to send you a few pictures so you know what you are looking for! :grin:

And you are fishing in the wrong area too! I thought with a manly boat like that you could brave the cold up at the fishery???

Well you just may be right about the F&H news, I was going to offer to send you my copies, but since I'll be posting the pictures and since you are on team " Big Ol Redneck" I know you can't read so I guess it would be pointless! :wink:

No hard feelings though, and just so that there are not any questions after the 7th, why don't you stay close to our team and you can take the pictures of our catch! Don't worry we can talk you through the basics of camera operation if needed! We know that your fishing skills won't be useful so you might as well do something productive! :shocked:

Keep trying buddy. You have been a F&H News subscriber way too long. The lastest issue says folks are "Slammin' Gators in the Estuary" so you better saddle up and ride. We all know how timely thier reports are. :rolleyes:

Also dont forget to bring a pen so you can punch your tag, assuming your in the right niegborhood, because a lumber crayon won't cut it.

We all know that Fishing Baby , Texas Raghead & Snagright are hunting this weekend so Boys we need to leave them plenty to read when they get home.

I look forward to your pre-challenge fishing reports from this weekend. The ball and chain is now secured for saturday and sunday. Actually, it wont be that bad. Watching 10 year olds playing b-ball is a hoot and seeing the Ducks run the grid iron will be a slight substitution for fishin.

Speaking of pre- fishin the challenge. Just shows a real lack of confidence in my opinion. :sleep:

[Tacklebuster]

Hey WaterDog,
You are right about one of our fish exceeding the weight capacity on FishlessLast's boat. Combine the weight of that fish, a couple of smelt and his mouth and it will be man overboard. I guess the good thing about owning a toy boat is that when your main motor goes out, your weed eater can dubb as a backup :grin:

Well Chris, you are right about the best member of the team (Shaggy) not being with us. He was my ringer for the day. But alas, playing team basketball is more important than watching crackers float down the river in other boats. :hoboy: He does know his stuff. Sad he wont be there. :depressed:

As for the weather up there I think we all know when to say enough. If it is Ugly up the (and it will be if team UGLY green shows up) then I'll be down to drop an anchor on top of ya. I've got that part down pat. :wink: Anyways, better safe than sorry.

Tanner of BOOTS (especially fish), bring it on dude. Doughball repellant aye? Well, that stuff is like perfume to me. I kind of like it. Be sure to flash you nav lights so I can anchor next to ya and show ya how sturgeon fishins done Brother. :smile: Doughball repellant, rrrrriiightttaaah. :hoboy:

Fishyoubought, your attempts at slam are feeble and frail at best. :rolleyes: I reply only because I don't want ya to be lonely or feel left out.

It is a good thing that Tilla feels sorry for you and is willing to give you a ride. Be happy about the ride cause that is all you be a gettin on the seventh. Well, you might get quite frustrated too. Lack of skill and all that. You might want to see if you can contact Steve Irwin and beg him to go so that at least someone on that boat your on has the ability to wrestle GATORS. :shocked: By Cri-key, ees' a rip-par mate. :tongue:

O'citywisherman, You might want to bring your nintendo along when you fish with team "flameout after I cook breakfast Eddie". At least you will keep busy that way. Rookies :sleep:

Hey Mofish. Sorry you could'nt make this one dude. Must be a tough life feeding ducks at the park all day. :cheers: Peace.

and now the sturgeon bobber man is on board, what?? , never seen anybody fish sturgeon with a bobber?
well your in for a treat.

welcome on board fish bait.

still trying to decide between 2 others for the last seat.but either way i think you guys should stay home ,how could you possibly compete with that team, and we are adding 1 more. ouch that's got to hurt you guys doesn't it, :grin: :grin:

[Keta]

When it's all over all anyone will be able to say is D'OH! :grin:

[MADWIZERD]

i think when its over each team should take the average fish (total length of all fish keep divided by the # of people on board the boat)

this will give us team winners and ? well you know all your names. :tongue:

so do you like the idea??

most of you guys could probably just bring a ruler. :tongue:

As far as you're concerned OCF you might want to bring hand warmers, a hot water bottle, cocco, and a big propane heater to keep you warm. Wait, forget that. There is so much hot air on TEAM FLAMEOUT you won't need a heater. :shocked:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Pretty confident there MW. I like that. A fisherman that exudes confidence is a fisherman that slings a lot of baloney. :hoboy: And pal, you are so full of baloney my sides are splitting from the laughter. :grin:

Unbelievable that you are trying to fill your boat with ringers :rolleyes: What these guys haven't told you yet is that the only sturgeon they have ever seen are the stuffed animal ones their kids bought them last year for Christmas. :shocked: What a bunch of barnicals. graemlins/stupid.gif :wink: Hey be sure to bring a bunch of banans to hang from the antenna pole. Ah....no...I was'nt talking about your crew. :cheers:

[Bankbound]

Hey madwizerd check your e-mail!

[Uglygreen]

Wishin he could Catch and little to Eat,

The only thing your gonna be catchin is a cold and the only thing your gonna be eating is crow. When are you gonna learn, little man, that you have already lost this little challange? But keep puttin that foot deeper in your mouth, cause thats the only thing your gonna have left to chew on come December. We will be callin you Peg Leg Fishless and Hungry here in another couple weeks.

And what the heck are "banans"?

:grin:

[fishbait]

After carefully checking out all the teams and sorting throught all the hundreds of invitations, consulting my spiritual advisers and throwing some anchient gater bones under the recent full moon, the all powerful and wise spirits have sent me a sign to align myself with the only true choice possible. :shocked: I will be produly be fishing with the Wiz and UG. :cheers: However they made me promise to not being my best bait as they did not want the spanking to get out of hand. :depressed: This will be such great fun, I havent fished gators since I took 4th place for big fish and 5th place for team in the 2002 fishermans Sturgeon Derby. Lots of smack talking here and all I can say it there are are the bold and the fishless. I will let my rod do most of the talking. :grin: Now the question is do I want to share one of my virtually unknown consistantly producing holes with my newfound teammates just to put a whoopin on a bunch of smack talking shaker catching wannabees.......... :whazzup: Ok guys, Im in......... take your best shot

[fishingfirst]

smellslikefishbait,

It doesn't sound like we have anything to worry about from you, 4th loser in big fish and 5th loser for the team, is that the best you can come up.......last year's fishing conquests??

Stop by and we will show you what 1st place looks like! :grin:

Hey Fishalot: Field Dressing a Deer Texas Style is a step by step process.
1) cut around the neck just below the chin (don't waist any meat Terry) :rolleyes: 2) next cut the belly until all the guts fall out (don't get any hair on my meat Terry) :rolleyes: 3)next saw the pelvis with your little pull saw(hold those legs open wider Terry) :rolleyes: 4) grab the esophagus and throw blood all over Rod's new pants, before pulling everything out :grin: (then blame it on 'Terry) :rolleyes: 5) wipe out with paper towels and place stick in the body cavity so meat cools faster. (hold the cavity open wider Terry) :rolleyes: 6) Place your hard earned prime venison in a cheap 99 cent deer bag that looks like Paula's used panty hose :rolleyes: (why didn't Terry bring me a better deer bag?) This is a step by step how you clean a deer "Texas style" as demonstrated by Billy Morrison. :cheers: Try it you will like it! fishrite

[Keta]

fishrite,
I always thought that "Texas Style" was to shoot them in the @$$ ad not worry about guttin 'em :shocked:

[MADWIZERD]

Ok the 4th member of the team will be "bankbound". the team is now full, so you guys don't have anything else to worry about. NOT.

Cry and Weep
fill your boat with ringers <font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">I got over a 50 e-mails from people just wanting to put a hurting on you. I even got one from one of your team mates trying to defect from the cry and weep team. These people all contacted me, i did not go asking specific people.But if it will make you feel better after it if all over to say it was unfair that's cool. Theres still springer season. And i will let you try again. But between dec.7th and then your neck should be hurting pretty good from hanging your head in shame that long. :wink: :grin:

And to everyone else that is now to afraid to post. :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

[fishbait]

Hey Wiz..........
Ya didn't tell me I would have to put up with all this dribble and whining when I signed on with the winning team....... YA know. we could pass off some of the smaller keepers to all these wannabees to make the bitter pill of Da-feet easier for them to swallow...........

And Mel. If you would consider bathing once in awahile the fish most likely would not scatter as badly graemlins/idea.gif . But it looks like you got the breakfast concept ok, as I remember you old guys don't move too fast in the mornings :grin:

And cry and weep, might I suggest using a scrub brush.... :wink: the only thing going down on our team will be our rod tips, over and over......

Hey Bankbound, welcome. It will be fun to contribute to the winning vs. the whinning team.

the hammer is commin' down on all of the non-believers. Team FISH TAXI "by a landslide" in the end. If you want to find us at about mid day check the dock or nearest bar for we will be celebrating our victory!!! :cheers: :cheers:

[fishingfirst]

Just a reminder to all those "fishermen" that think they have the "secret spot".......the sturgeon ponds at the fish hatchery are off limits!

[Fishrite]

Keta: you might have something there....those Texans are weird boys....but Crappie heads for sturgeon bait? :grin: :grin: You won't believe it till ya' try it! :wink: Are you fishin with all the boys on the 7th? Wish I could......but the boss has me painting for the in-laws who are coming for the holidays :mad: :depressed: Fishrite

[Keta]

fishrite,
Team D'oh (The Downstream Not So Brights) :smile:

[get hooked]

All you guys just keep up the tongue lashings. graemlins/berry.gif The Beattle Bombs will slide right past all of you and you are going to wonder, where did this team come from? :grin:

Mel, I think you're going to look a little out of place down there unless you're tied up at one of the docks like all the rest of those cruisers.

Wiz, I think if I were you, I would have your boat repainted. It resembles a banana so closely, there won't be a fish within a mile. No wonder it's for sale. :whazzup:

Tackleblister, Where are you? Did you run and hide after you saw my team? :blush:

See you all on the 7th.... :cheers:

[Fishrite]

C&E and MW:
Yeah, I am talking a lot of smack for a guy who won't be comin' to the party, but I know that it I was, I would really like puttin' a whippin' on all you boys :grin: :grin: Hey, MW that sounds like a pretty good team that you have assembled. Now you need the "gator goodies"....ya' better see Texas Rig for those "Crappie heads"
....and they must be Brownlee heads :tongue: Fishrite

[CATCH AND EAT]

Somebody please put a straight jacket on Fishbait. He is crazier than I thought. I think that day of fishin with BOE really got to him. :wink:

Get Hooked, now there is an oxy-morron for the 7th. Change your name to TEAM NAPS A LOT. :rolleyes:

Fishrite, smack, smack, smack......I think your wife has been hitting you a little to hard there fella. You are not making any sense. From what Rod tells me I take it you are in the "fumagation business". :shocked: :wink:

Bankbound, I am sure by the showing on the 7th that you will once again be "Bankbound". Lots a luck with the Taxi Crew. :hoboy:

[MADWIZERD]

Cry and weep
I was just playing about your team trying to defect. I thought I would stir the pot on your our team a little graemlins/icon_argue.gif .fun wasn't it.Your team wouldn't defect you because they know they will still catch more fish than you, and if the come over here they will be dealing with professionals. :wink: :tongue:

Foot in mouth?? I cant even remember the last time a came home from a sturgeon trip without a keeper. so I think I can talk some smack. :cool:

Catching last
they have sturgeon ponds at the hatchery ???? i didn't know that. Is that where you go after a hard day of sleeping in your boat, to see what a sturgeon looks like??? :sleep:

p.e.t.a
i wont even pick on you after seeing what your team looks like. your team is punishment enough for you. :shocked:

get whipped
"The Beattle Bombs"
that's a good name for your team, that way when its over you can just take away the beattle and you will be " the bombs " :cheers:

Sturgeon aint bluefin tuner! You haven't got a chance!

[Uglygreen]

Ya mean you dont troll for them at 8 MPH with a mexican flag? Where have I been?

UG

[Keta]

:shocked:

[Fishrite]

CatchandEat, you sure know how to get a "smack board" going! Ya, we had the doors open all night in 20 degree weather...It was BAD! graemlins/1zhelp.gif Billy's nose hairs are all curled now graemlins/applause.gif Rod ran a close second, and Billy was a distant third :tongue: I think thats the way it will be for spring salmon too :cheers:
Fishrite

[TEXAS RIG]

Fishrite you are right about my nose hairs curling up & I was @ a distant 3rd. But I will get even Remember I have all the crappie heads. :hoboy:

[Tacklebuster]

Get Bent I mean Hooked,
I ran and hide after I saw that picture of you with your ball cap off :shocked: Do me a favor bro, get that comb over going before the big dance.

As for the rest of you non fishing, no catching, smack talking, bad breath having, no I can't fish cause mommy won't let me, knuckleheads.... graemlins/stupid.gif

[Miss B Haven]

The only thing on this post to be afraid of is the depth, not sure the boots are high enough even at this point. Might have to get a life vest or survival suit on by the 7th. I'm pretty sure this is going to get way deeper than the hole above coverts. graemlins/1zhelp.gif
Too bad all you losers are hiding out up at Bonneville. You are going to need to clone that Baton about 10 times over cause it's going to be a tie "no feesh day" for all of you! No fish are going to get by the St Helens boats! graemlins/berry.gif
My secret stink will pull all the fish in from the whole river, up or down current, don't matter. That's not even counting the scent on my bait! :shocked: :sick: We'll make sure we keep you guys posted on how many, how big etc until we leave with tired arms, limits of fish and full tags at what - 'bout 8:30? to go for breakfast. After that- you'll be on your own. I guess we can still take your calls at the restraunt. Wouldn't want you all to get lonely or bored :depressed:
Oh - and of course we would NEVER tell any lies about our catch now would we. :wink: I'll swear on my Chapmans to tell the ifish truth, nuttin' but the truth (D-oh). :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Someone on My team tried to defect? I can only imagine who that was? I'll be talking to him personally to get the real story. More likely it was you e-mailing him to see if you could fish next to us and watch a real pro at work. :rolleyes: The potential defector will be lashed for his transgressions.

As far as the foot in the mouth retoric MW (Most Whooped) I have tasted de-"feet" before. :wink: I just make sure they are clean when I go to these affairs. However Most Whooped, you may want to have your own little foot washing service before venturing out this time. You are certainly handy capped now with Fishlessholdingthebait. The guy has writers cramp from all the mortagages he has been doing. When you say set the hook he's going to hand you closing papers on your defeat. :grin: You are going down dudes. :tongue:

Bankbound, you have no idea what these guys are made of. Be careful, and bring a clothspin for your nose. These guys really stink up a boat. :shocked:

[Fishing Eddie]

A week and three days and the forcast still show a big wind from all directions, the weathermen said there is a whole lot of hot air moving in graemlins/icon_argue.gif the day of the big dance.
I can't believe Wishalot and Stellla team Sneakin Out is still coming to have the big woooppeen put on them. C&E team started to look at the other teams out there and are having second thoughts :shocked:
I've called safeway to see if they could order a crate of crow for all you fellow ifishers graemlins/berry.gif
I just got off the phone with Joe's baton shop and they said no problem by getting us ours by the tourney date :cheers:

[CATCH AND EAT]

"No problem getting ours" refering to the BATON. So you plan on that thing staying in your boat there Roderrick? :grin:

Maid Wizzards, you're planning on cleaning up on the 7th are ya. I will be sure to have my boat in line for the Maid Wizzard Clean up crew. Please put a high shine on on our decking as it will be pretty slimey from all the keepers we will be catching. Please use lemon joy as I think it will do a great job. BTW, when you wash my boat do us all a favor and leave the Maids outfits at home. Rain gear will do just fine. :cheers:

As far as the defector thing. No hard feelings. I am all cried out now and have called Dr. Laura for counsil. :hoboy: You might want to call her after the whoopin on the 7th. :shocked:

Hey, I saw Tagsters crew on the list yet team Tagster has escaped without insult. Must be the Silent But Deadly approach.

Speaking of silent but deadly, Fishrite. One word. BEANO!!!! Use it dude. graemlins/1zhelp.gif

[Fishrite]

"Beanoooooo! Yeah, that was the word alright! I could see in their faces, even though they never said it, but they were sure thinkin' it ....why'd we bring this guy along? :whazzup: graemlins/icon_argue.gif Truth is, I really "piced up" the party. Fishrite

[Fishalot]

I have been feeling all smack talked out :depressed: I sure don't want anyone feeling mad a others because they can come up with better smack then they can. I have to wonder if (Turkey Baster) is :mad: mad because I found out his true name? (Catch and Eat anything) has no feelings :grin: ( Fishing when my Wife lets me) I know he has feeling because he always cries when he is out fished :hoboy: . (Texas Rugrat) is a man full of emotion , I know this by the deprestion he went through because it took his so long to catch a Springer :shocked:
You all have a great Turkey feed and give thanks for all you have because on Dec 7th all your lives will be changed after TEAM SNEAKIN OUT puts a big clinic on for you. Bring a note pad to write on (Caught a fish once) because you will learn alot that day, that is if you are not asleep. We will wake you up when we come by with a oversize on.

Scratchacreep opens his big mouth and says:

Even Waterdog has lock jaw. That is unusual! <font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">I'm just sitting back and watching all the fodder fly. Come game day we will see who's got game. Looking at the tide chart I may just head to the fishery on Friday to "practice" as you call it. "Practice" is a term used by those who cant seem to get a "kitchen pass". "kitchen pass" is a term that means, "yes dear, I am your humble servant." :tongue:

There is no way I'm scared of the baton. graemlins/eek13.gif Do a search on last years winter sturgeon season under member #156. You'll see what I mean. :rolleyes:

[Fishalot]

Man I like the way Waterdog put it to you (Catchin :shocked: Sheep) I sure hope you have a come back better then the ones you have had lately graemlins/1zhelp.gif . You should go home and get started on your rest for the 7th because a old guy like you need about a week of it :sleep: . See you later (caught a fish in my sleep) I bet you even landed that fish :hoboy: .

That is right I started the 7th thread on this post.

[Fishing Eddie]

Waterdog, by the look of your boat you with all those other softies out there that need a top will be blowing around like a bunch of lost dogs. That,s OK though because you might want to tie off to C&E because they too will be dead in the water.
As for Texas Rig and his bunch of rag tag " I wish I could catch a sturgeon wantabe's" Yhea right. Stella and team Sneakin Out I've seen Fishalot in action I hope he knows when to set the hook :whazzup: All I know is there will be alot of people feeling pretty darn :sick: after the 7th.
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving :cheers:

[Fishrite]

241 posts....7 pages of trash talk. It will all come out in the wash!! On the 7th the real winner will be crowned. The "Butt-ton Award will be handed out. The 2002 Tail-Whoppin' Award will go down in History. Who will it be?

CatchaEat?............good possibility.

Fishalot? ..........he is the current record holder.

Tilla?.................the coaches choice.

Fishing Eddie?.........odds on favorite.

Texas Rig?.........got the best talent (C. Heads)

Fishrite?...... a long shot.

Cast (if you can) ...your vote right here :grin: :grin:

You all have a Great Thanksgiving...... :tongue: :tongue:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Waterdog, I'll see ya up there Friday. Pops want to sturg fish and now that I know you are going to be there I want to go too. Got to see the DOG inaction.....opps....I mean in action. :wink: We'll see about the 7th there Gomer. Hey, have a great Thanksgiving!! :cheers:

Fishacrock, dude "Catchin Sheep"?? I am insulted. graemlins/berry.gif You must have written this while hanging from a tree upside down. Rhetoric, and hyperbolie. After the 7th you will be "Countin Sheep" with the one, two punch from our team. :wink: Have a Great Thanksgiving Brother! :smile:

To the rest of you Sturgeon Challenge Junkies. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! :grin: :cheers:

[get hooked]

To ALL you Turkeys out there have a great Thanksgiving. Then we'll see you on the 7th for the truth to be known. :grin:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Hey Snapshot. Did you fall asleep? Are you still going on this thing or what. I think I smell a :"CHICKEN". :shocked: :wink:

[Tilla]

Everyone have a great Thanksgiving. :grin: I hope everyone gets a huge Turkey this year 'cause it's the only thing you'll be eatin' though next weekend and beyond. (Maybe you should pick up two.) :rolleyes:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Fishalot, I am so sorry that you are plumb out of smack. :hoboy: I am sure your "luck" is following behind in a close second to that. :wink: Team Stink'in Out is loosing momentom here folks. Tunnel vision is setting in. Dylan, I knew this thread would tax your stamina brother. Just did'nt think you would give up so quickly.

Shoot, Fishrite is'nt even going and his jabberjaw is still a yapp'in. :wink: Fishalot, I am sure you will come up with more at a future date. :grin:

Fishin Eddie, These guys are loos'in it. Their confindence is wavering and they have nothing to talk about. Even Waterdog has lock jaw. That is unusual! This Baton thing really has folks shook up. :hoboy:

[fishbait]

Happy Thanksgiving to all you smack talkin no fish catching stinky ol wannabees.....

[Pete]

I'm just sittin' and grinnin' ... sturgeon like stinky stuff, but you can't bait a hook with trash talk! Bring your digi-cams, boys! You'll need evidence to support your talk!
D'OH!
