2009 MNO Smack Down

[Cody Gruchow]

my fish was almost bigger then ur biggest fish...give me 2 days and then the lead will change

[The General]

That could very well be true Cody.  I hope you took some photography classes during the off season.  If i remember right the last time you took pictures at the stocking pond your camera skills matched your fishing skills (terrible).   

[fubar]

well i hope you guys can beat a season total of 252 inches. i just did the math and if my team averages 26'' on the walleyes 18'' on the bass and 40'' on northern this is where we will be sitting. WRITE THAT DOWN. that is if i get participation from my other teamates and they know how to catch bass. but before i do that i have to figure out how to mount a ball hitch on my bike ...u guys think your so cool with your fancy drivers liscenses   

[Cody Gruchow]

you only get one fish per catagory best out of the entire team

[Cody Gruchow]

if i remember my fishing skills out did you at your own game(walleye fishing). i have yet to wet a line for the true gamefish known as a northern!

[fubar]

false,   better read dem rules again, what if neither of my teamates fished? would i only get to put in 3 fish?

[The General]

Cody's claim to fame.  He caught a bigger walleye after one day of fishing.  I know I'm the king and it's nice to know I have fans who's only goal is to beat me.  But I strive to beat everyone.  If you want a signed autograph Cody......just ask. hahahahahahahha

[Cody Gruchow]

ya the biggest of the fish for the 3 catagorys(sp) is entered for that team no matter who on the team caught them. say i caught this 25.5 inch walleye and my team mate catches a 26 inch walleye that one will be used for our team instead of mine. get it? my only goal is to beat general BB Lee and HD!

Course.....It ain't gonna happen! 

[Cody Gruchow]

big slick aint no challenge you because you dont like my stocked pond   

[The General]

my only goal is to beat general BB Lee and HD!

Cody by saying that you may just have put yourself in Doug's cross hairs.   

[Lee Borgersen]

While you guys are all so busy laying individual accolades on yourselves. While claiming one on one victories over one another. While jockeying for position as The king of smack. While projecting individual victories over each other. While claiming mine is bigger than yours. While waiting to ambush one another to see who is the fastest smacker in the Midwest. While targeting individuals out of fear of actual reality. While worrying that your mouth is writing checks that you can't cash.

While worrying that you teammates won't be able to carry you. While worrying that your going to take it in the shorts when you fail. While wondering how your going to possibly live up to all your predictions. While knowing that people have pegged you as a wind bag. While worrying if your team members think you’re an embarrassment to the team. While worrying if you've over smacked someone and ticked them off. While some of you have entered various species and claimed victory already.

While all this is going on team #20 The "Wanderers" has been behind the scenes Organizing, Planning, and Implementing our advanced techniques into our strategy for a guaranteed  2009 Challenge Victory.

Our team benchmark is C Q I

C... Continuous
Q... Quality
I...  Improvement

                                    "Wanderers Forever!"

[Bobby Bass]

Well Lee I see you have taken my lesson plan and read my book " Fishing made easy" 
Team Da Puddle Humpers like the old bull on top of the hill with the youngster is busy sharpening hooks and looking over fishing journals waiting for the pads to open up on the water and the ramps to clear of the amateurs.   :fishing2: Then we will take our time and hit the water and with experience brought on by years of relaxing time on the water we will post our fish as they come.    We might not start in first but I am sure we will be at the top or very close in the end... DaKids,    can you pass me some more of that fine potato salad your wife made?

[The General]

Oh no it looks like the smack talk  are coming out again. 

P.S. as far as windbag goes Lee, the only one who makes longer posts then you is GG.  So you two can share that trophy of a blow horn.  It's probably the only thing you will win this year

General,

In the next hour or so  will be getting up for her MNO fix. At that time be prepared to have another pint or so of your blood to be sucked out of your neck. She will draw your blood until she has once again weakend you to your knees. Of course you won't be on line because it's past your bed time.

Therefore  will once again claim dominance over you even while you sleep.

[GirlGuide]

....Okay, okay, I'm going to fess up here before I get everybody even more riled up then I already did!  The second walleye that I posted, ....um, well, I ah, ...I did NOT catch it!  I just thought it would be fun to put it in here and get you all stirred up, ....which I did by the way...  I just thought in the picture it looked huge, although it really wasn't that big.  I think it was about 26" or so.  Now I COULD have posted it as mine, but I would never do that, that is why I did NOT post it in the correct thread.  Besides I plan on catchin' one a lot bigger then that.  ...but if you notice, the only TRUE gentlemen on here that gave me any credit were Lee, Bobby and Cody.  JD and Jenny had a tissy fit the minute they looked at the picture!  (which is exactly the type of response I thought I was going to get from those gals! )

....Anyway, it was just for fun.  I couldn't hardly buy a bite on opener if I tried...    And, despite JD implying I was just running down to the dock for a photo opt, (which I laughed my a*s off when I read that!  ) ...the truth be told here, I really was out in the boat from 7 am until 11 pm  , only stopping and beaching our boat once at the Blue Goose for about an hour for lunch. The rest of the time, we fished, and fished, and we fished hard, and I froze my a*s off.  I did catch the first walleye that I posted, which was small, a 21" or so, and I will put that one in the "picture only" thread for now.  Other then that, the only thing I caught the whole time out was a rock bass and a cold!.    My husband got skunked, which he was getting pretty pissy about toward the end of the night, well, he did get one small one late that night, that he ended up loosing at the boat, which at that point, I don't think he gave a sh*t about anymore, ...he was more then done fishing, we had put in our time, and it just didn't pan out for us on this trip.

Also, I'm sure most of you know this, that my dad died in February.  Well, my husband and I got the privledge of fishing with his my dad's best friend this opener, which made it so much fun. They were fishing partners for years and years.  Him (John) and my dad are both retired firemen and have been best friends for probably over 40 years.  Well, he made it so much fun, because he told one story after another about their past fishing experiences together.  ...and Oh my god, the stories were hysterical, and NOTHING that I could repeat in here!!  Anyway, even though the weather sucked and the fish weren't biting at all, at least not in our boat, hearing all the stories about my dad and him made it one of my best openers ever.  Because since my dad is now gone, I missed him more then ever this year.  He was the one I called whenever I got back from fishing or hunting, so this is new to me, not being able to talk to him, and it sucks bad. 

But anyway,.....God, I sure put a damper in the smack talk here, did I?  I didn't mean to at all...  Now don't go feelin' all bad for me and take away all the sh*t I deserve for posted a fish that wasn't mine!  I exspect rocks to being thrown still, lmao! Bring it on! 
By the way, the fish that I posted, was my dad's friends, and I kinda did help him catch it anyway! (I'm still going to try and  get him to join the contest)  Anyway he, for some reason, was able to catch fish at the end of the night, unlike Chad and myself.  John caught a couple keepers and that big one, but EVERYTIME he caught one, I had to tell him his bobber was down!!  He talks so much, he was NEVER looking at his bobber.  Then it would take him about 5 more minutes to get over to his pole and set the hook, ...and he never missed one!  ...Unbelieable!!  Lucky !

....anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!   

~gg 


...Oh and JD, some of are NOT naturally pretty like you, some of us have to work at it a little bit!  So YES I did have makeup on when we went out fishing, SUE ME!  And NO, I did NOT bring any makeup with me, ...but I will admit, I do ALWAYS have lipstick in my pocket..., a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.   ...just ask Jenny, she carries the same color I do, if I remember correctly... 

[jd mn/nd]

Hey GG good to hear from you again, it has been a while and I just really had to look for few ways to really push your buttons. All in good fun of course!! Sorry to hear about your Pop's as you know I lost my dad almost 10 years ago he was only 59 two day's after his 59th B-day, super suckey!! You got my deepest sympathies.

But hey at least I called you out!! I had you pegged with it was someone elses fish!! The story sounded just like deer hunting. I knew you were trying to pull another fast one.

Oh by the way I am not good looking!!! There is no make up in the world that would make me look better. But my point being is that there is no need for make up, because the fish do not care how good looking any of us are.

Also I am really glad that you had such a good time with your family and friends that is really what it is all about the fish are strictly a bonus.

So now get out there and catch a fish of your own and post it up!!! By God girl you better have some dang good video footage of the catch too so we all know that you really caught the fish!!

[HD]

HD you are already falling behind me

aaaahhhhh...no....
You are the one that is behind my friend....

[Cody Gruchow]

well see about that tomorow

[Lee Borgersen]

HD you are already falling behind me

aaaahhhhh...no....
You are the one that is behind my friend....

  Stay tuned folks. This is starting to sound like a grudge match.

[HD]

Well, he said he wanted a challenge.... 

[Cody Gruchow]

just a little friendly competition from one pike angler to another

[Fawkinnae]

Geez there must be 10 pages of noise on here since I last looked.

All I've seen for the last 5 days are pronghorn antelope and prairie dogs. I had a better chance of catching a badger than catching a walleye. My son Wyofish graduated from the University of Wyoming.

Well I better get to work. Looks like our yet-to-be-named team has some work to do.

Smack on.

[The General]

HA HA GG, you always make me laugh........wish you smack talked  a little more.  as before sorry about you dad.........with that being said.  I knew that guy in the picture needed a little bubble above his head.  Just like myself in SD last week I could have posted someone else's fish as my own and kept those pictures for the contest being BB did have the marker item posted while i was out there.  But what fun would it be to cheat and win someones bike chain tightener? 

P.S. HD nice fish by the way............sorry guys I just can't talk smack to the Original Masterbaiter.

[Fawkinnae]

What a team we have. Team 16.

Spuds, me and Bena (Mrs. Woody). Reminds me a little of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Maybe we'll call ourselves "Team - Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head".

(Just thinking out loud).

[Bobby Bass]

Snake fishermen....
