:sorry:

That sounds really intresting
-
Been doing some research and the lake list has now grown to thirty-five. Reaching out as far as seventy miles from the home base. :coffee:
-
sounds like a bucket list type of achievment(sp). Great idea! Are you going to fish alone or do u have an open seat for say a fellow MNOer

I have a few dates already penciled in, not to many mno's up my way. But I am fishing some lakes in Pine county.

My new Quantum PT Tour reel arrived today and in a word it is Sweet! Going to really break it in fishing in my challenge! :happybounce:
-
17 fish a day is pretty lofty goal. You are going to need a bigger memory card for your camera. Good Luck. :happy1:
-
That's a pretty lofty goal Bobby. You better start wearing a thumb guard right off. :happy1:
-
Well the 17 fish is about what I average in early season, since I am going to be fishing the entire month of June I am thinking that number should hold out. Got to make it hard or it won't be a challenge. I am already working out with some light weights just to start getting the casting arm and back in shape, I am guessing in 30 days of fishing I should launch about 15,000 casts. :coffee:

:scratch: I think Bobby you can't win a side bet In less you bet yourself, ;D

:coffee: Don't know where anything was said about a side bet, just a challenge that I want to do. Leave it up to you to make something out of nothing. Pretty much why when this challnge starts in June you will not be reading about it here but will have to go to my web page. You will be to busy making friends here :rotflmao:

As you know I am planning the Bobby Bass fishing Challenge which I am going to try and fish the thirty days of June on thirty different lakes. The goal is to catch 500 fish with only bass and northern counting. As visitors to the Lodge you can enter in my little side contest which is guess how many Bass and Northern I will catch. The closest guess that does not go over will win with the earliest entry date being the tie breaker in case of a tie. You can only make one guess and you can not edit your guess. I will come up with a prize and I am sure it will have something to do with Lake Iwanttobethere. Pass it on to your fishing buddies and check back for more information and of course watch the tally board when the contest starts. You can enter right up to June 1st Bobby

This fishing challenge is already getting expensive, at least that is what the wife is saying. New rubber on the Tahoe all the way around, at least the tires were a buy three get one free deal. The tires seem to be the cheap part as the balancing has gone up again since the last time I bought a set of tires. New graph has been picked up and I am waiting on a lake map chip. First really warm day I will install it on the Puddle Humper. Now new tires for the trailer and maybe I will spring for new hubs since the ones on there are twenty-two years old. Wife is adding it all up saying it is for this fishing challenge of mine, I am just trying to tell her it is a mant. thing, ( Not mentioning anything about the new reel that I bought or the rod that I am looking at) Hope she don't find the receipts for the lures I am stocking up on!
Thinking twice about the thirty different lakes though, I am looking at about 3,000 miles of driving and with gas slowing rising that might be hard to cover the gas.. Might have to do some sleeping in the back of the Tahoe!

does your wife mind this one?

Nope, :rotflmao: When I was a young lad it was common to fish one lake in the evening then drive to another, camp out and fish the lake in the morning, sometimes would even fish a third lake that afternoon before heading home to charge batteries and eat a home cooked meal.

Actually I owned a Tandem, the horse could pull a pop up buffalo camper and a birch bark Jon boat. I am surprised you don't remember, I bought it used from you! :whistling:

Well two months till the start of my little challenge. Should get in a few days of fishing before the start and hope to figure out all the bells and whistles on the new graph in the Puddle Humper. Have upgraded three of my rod and reel combinations and will have to get used to them. Working now on putting a tackle order together so that I will have everything on hand that I need. Won't have to much time to be shopping for stuff once I hit the water for thirty days straight. Between fishing as many different waters as I can and making videos to share I will be a busy guy.
Remember you can head to my web page and put in your guess as to how many bass and northern I will catch and win a prize from Lake Iwanttobethere. Just be the closest guess with out going over, your guess needs to be in before the June 1st start. {244}

:bump: I will get my guess in. I like your optimism on #'s /day. I could see you having some really good days. Unfamiliar waters, unpredictable cold fronts, AIS inspections( :rotflmao:) will all come into play. My prediction will be based on unpredictable weather(maybe unfishable). June can be a wild weather month. I wish you the best of luck. It sounds like a fun adventure. I think there will be a couple of fish-less days in there and maybe some you won't even be able to get out. It is bound to happen. Good luck!! :happy1: :happy1:

Fish less days :scratch: I don't know what those are.

Well my fishing season is pretty much done before it started. I reinjuryed the same ligament in my wrist that I injured two years ago. All the time I spent working on the Puddle Humper and upgrades are not going to get used till mid to late summer. Another reason getting old stinks is healing takes longer, so much for my first summer of fishing and retirement. Add to it that my hand is immobilized and I am typing left handed only. So I will be doing some reading but not to much posting for awhile. For now my fishing challenge is postponed, I still hope to try it come fall.

So, this is not good Bobby. It's a proven fact that the aging process has more disadvantages than advantages. Very sorry to hear about your misfortune. The other way to put is; "That's a :censored: rotten deal to have to :censored: deal with and why the :censored: did this have to :censored: happen now." Hope the mending process accelerates for you in time to salvage some of the season.
-
Sorry to hear that Bobby.
-
:sick: What a bummer. We won't have BB to kick around this summer. :cry:
ps. Stay off the ladders and roofs. Get the young guys to do that stuff.

You can't fool me with that photo :whistling:. That's not Bobby Bass but, it's Luke Skywalker. In all fareness I did hear they were related though. :toast:

Sorry to hear Bobby :sorry:....I broke my shoulder about 5 years ago memorial day weekend... sure put the crimp on summer fishing... but did find I could fish pretty good with my left hand/arm! Hope you heal quickly.

After dropping about 2k on a new graph, tires and hubs and a new rod and reel that Mrs. b does not know about an electrical reel ain't going fly. Thing is right now I can't even hold a frigging pencil up. However a rockbass will now feel like a marlin. heck my first goal is to get a night's sleep without rolling over on it. i am so :banghead: my grand daugter says i am not a happy camper :banghead:

Update: this morning I sucessfully lifted a 6 oz can of tomato paste :happy1: but was defeated by the 8 oz can of pizza sauce :banghead:

Today was to be the start of my fishing challenge, thirty lakes in thirty days but due to an injury I can't even fish a day. I did try and hold a rod today and do some light casting but the twinge in the wrist is still there. :banghead: Wondering how much stress even a small fish would put on the wrist. :Fish: So I am having to postpone till later this summer, the month of August might be doable although not the best time to do a thirty day challenge but I have commitments in September and July. Will have to lower my exceptions for the number of fish I am going to catch I think for fishing in August. Stay tuned we still might pull the Challenge off, Bobby

But....But....But..... Bobby!
What effect will this have on the odds in Vegas? Did you inform them yet about these circumstances? Also what about your commitment with ESPN. I wouldn't wanna to be in your shoes for nuttin at this point. No pun intended but, "This is a fine kettle of fish you've gotten yourself into this time." :doah:
I just got a call from my brother who lives in Vegas. He said that some of The Bosses are :censored: off about the sudden changes in the Bobby Bass Fishing Challenge and they think something's :Fish: :Fish: ey here.
Just a heads up for ya Bobby.

Well this challenge never happen but I have a new challenge to replace it. After last season of never getting my boat even wet :doah: just getting on the water in the Puddle Humper has now become something on my very small bucket list. With the help of my friend Chuck we are going to figure someway of getting me in the boat and fish this summer. As some of you may know I have been wheelchair bound for the past year or so. This year we are going to figure a safe way to get in the boat and on to front casting platform, this will require me building some kind of hand rails. Not one ever give up fishing, we are going to figure away for me to catch some fish and give people a run in this years contest!
if you signed up to fish and I catch fish then there is no reason why everyone should also be able to catch some fish! matter of fact I think the staple item in this Challenge should be a wheelchair! :rotflmao:

That sounds like a reasonable request to me. But I don't have a wheel chair? Wait a minute :scratch: What if I offered to put Glenn in my boat instead? Na forget it that would be giving you the larger advantage then. :bonk:
Stick wit it Bobby and I hope you catch the biggest Bass! :happy1:
-
That is an idea, Glenn could be the staple item then everyone would have to catch a fish with him. What a real challenge. Think of poor DDS :rotflmao: :rotflmao: The two of them would be stocking fish :fish2: :fish2: :fish2: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
