2009 MNO Smack Down

[Effie07]

These Northern things you are referring to, I believe the proper name up north for them is "Speckled Ditch Trout", a relative caught a 43"er last week out of a ditch that feeds Zipple Bay.

Just got done conversatin with the two youngins on my team "The Wonderers".  We discussed the possible rule change for next year stating that the 2009 Challenge Champions will be able to defend their championship in 2010. With this in mind we've unanimously decided that by August we will have already wrapped The 2009 championship.

So, with that being said were going to order our Championship Team shirts, jackets, hats and decal kits so's were ready for the 2010 Challenge repeat victory. I know....I know, some of you are worried that the new dynasty "The Wonderers" will crush the future hopes of future Challenge hopefuls. "The Wonderers" have also taken this into consideration and have decided to disband after the 2010 season.

I'm sure that many of you have already been wondering? With a random selection ( by computer) of all the teams, how could so much talent wind up on the same team? Some may call it fate and others may call it luck of the draw. There are even those out there that would say it's rigged.

To "The Wonderers" it don't matter. Were just here to kick butt and that's exactly what we'll do!

[The General]

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

Well an hour and a half left.  I think this is just what Lee meant by writing checks or not backing up your talk or what ever he said I don't pay much attention. 

[Cody Gruchow]

i caught a small northern today that will give me the lead ill post it in a little while.

[Lee Borgersen]

Is that where your team is going for the MNO Challenge "Defeated Teams Banquet"  the end of October? Better make your reservations now since they only have seating for 6 people. 

[Bobby Bass]

Come on Lee, you are jealous cuz I have a sponsor and now they won't let you have your 100th wedding anniversary there this summer. I hear they would not let you bring your good paper plate china there and let you use the thimble deep fryer for your fish cakes...  Borgie

  It's 45 years in August Bobby. That place sounds like a dive, but I bet the food is good.  100 years????

[Bobby Bass]

45 years!  Thats a long time to be the best fishermen in the family Borgie...

[Cody Gruchow]

uh oh looks like general lost his lead.

[The General]

Not a big deal Cody.  Good thing I wasn't on here braggin about the big lunkers i caught.  The funniest thing is this big northern expert who was going out last Thursday (to his stocked pond) couldn't even beat my puny accident slough shark.  Phishnchick and splinter will smack the yellow off your teeth with the lunkers they are going to catch throughout the competition.   

[Cody Gruchow]

nothing bigger was biting, except those pesky big mouth fish, caught 2 over 4lbs. i would say it was a pretty good first time out. nothing big but no worrys cause im leader and your not lead will only get bigger come this weekend.

[gds]

Well if the weather hold i will be on my way to big Winnie in a few hours , so i will get my start to taking over the lead!

Now he's blaming it on the fish.  I'm sure it had nothing to do with your skills or lack there of.   

[Borgie]

Well if the weather hold i will be on my way to big Winnie in a few hours , so i will get my start to taking over the lead!   

You tell um gds.
 Good luck as you start to build the foundation of our championship house. I can't wait until sjohnnie26 and I can pitch in and help build some of the walls. I know we still have until the end of Oct to finish the job But, I was thinking we may wrap up construction before that date. 

[Cody Gruchow]

hmmm lack of fishing skills last i thought my team was leading and those are my 2 fish but i could be mistaken

[Bobby Bass]

Well now that we are into the second weekend of fishing and I am all caught up at work I think I will take my first of many Mondays off and go fishing. With some luck with the weather and some time on the water I should be able to boat some fish and get on the leader board here. So far I have not seen to much to worry about. Cody is usually all done by the 2nd weekend and everyone has already passed the General. Borgi is talking about building a house and Hunterdown has to shoot a turkey bigger then his daughters. Lee is waiting on vacation and Tim, well Tim is waiting on Hunterdown  I won't promise anything, I'll let my fish talk for me

Having had Bobby as a teammate last year I can prove to you that his fish will  do all the talking.

"Gotta love my Ponds"   

They say a man should get in touch with his feminine side. Now, do you prefer the dry skin formula or the cool classic cold?

[gds]

Well it seems i jinxed myself,  got up there and had motor problems!

[Bobby Bass]

Man GDS I feel for ya.... I hope ya got some of them secret baits I told ya about and give them a try.. updated forecast for tomorrow is calling for brisk winds of 15-25 mph I hate when that happens.!! Hard to keep the cigar burning..

[Bobby Bass]

Well windy or not I was going fishing and I did. 10 bass caught 4 over 16" and two over 17.5 that I posted. Even had a 24" northern that was right on the button but I am sure our team can do better then that... Beat the thunderstorm off the lake.. And yes where I live Bass are in season ! Should slide us in to third place, If I had posted the northern we would have been all alone in first, but it's a long season!!!  Now where is Tim and them fish he was talking about???

[Mayfly]

I saw BB score on a bass???

8. All local and State fishing rules must be adhered to in the catching of fish, Smallmouth Bass must be in season. No illegal means of harvesting will be accepted. Catch and release rules/seasons are OK for contest.

[Mayfly]

Now where is Tim and them fish he was talking about???

That is it! 


In 48 Hours I will have a few fish on the board 

[gds]

Looks  like i may be slowed down for a while , seem to have a dead cylnder , only one Yamaha dealer that can do warenty work and there booked up till the end of next week.  Just will have to stay close and use the electric mostly.

Hey Tim when ya buy a license you should pick up a rule book.. Page 18 you might want to read them before you quote rules..
