2009 MNO Smack Down

4th place?   I don't think so........................ 

 

Looks Like you'll have to for 3rd Hunter. Once Borgie sets out to do something she means business

[Bobby Bass]

Well this here Challenge ain't over yet. You guys are sorting out prizes you might want to look over your shoulders and see DaPUddle Humpers have moved up several places and are are just a few inches away from knocking you guys and gals out of the prizes. I thought I would go fishing for northerns and look what I caught... Guess I will have to wet a line for a walleye next!

Nice fish Bobby.   Just think how many fish you'd catch if you put a motor on DaPuddle Humper.

[Fawkinnae]

That is a nice fish BobbyB.
Who would have thought!?

[Lee Borgersen]

Ok Bobby, we know your out there somewhere hiding in the weeds trying to lull everyone to sleep while you slither your way up the standings. So let's get that big pikes points posted on the board and we can see where your team really is in the standings. None of those Jap tricks by sneaking in thru the back door while were all resting like at Pearl Harbor.

11th Place My Eye!

[Bobby Bass]

Well I never said that I can't fish for northerns or walleye I just prefer fishing for bass... Decent northern out of the way so maybe I will tie on a twister tail and go looking for walleye.. Who knows..

I upgraded the standings but I guess I forgot to hit save,    It is done now and we are right behind Borgie in 7th,, Just a little pressure on our part to keep you guys on the top looking over your shoulders

Just as I figured.  Another mental laps. I get those all the time Bobby. If it's any conciliation, the frequency only gets worse as the ageing process continues. Anyhow, welcome to the next plateau in the standing.

[Bobby Bass]

I know both Hunterdown and myself will be looking for a big fish or two on Friday when we fish together. Should be interesting get together as I now have a slight edge on Hunter and his northern... 

[Cody Gruchow]

and looking for them is all you will be doing lol not catching

[Bobby Bass]

Cody you are welcome to tag along, I can put a rope out and tow your boat  you then can watch and see how fish are caught up here in the north woods in the fall.

[HD]

Um.....Bobby? I don't think Cody has a boat  ......Cause they don't allow them on DNR stock ponds.

We could just let him float behind us with his water wings on though......

Maybe he could weave some reeds together? and make a boat.

[HD]

Suppose I could bring some pink flamingo decoys for him to ride on.... 

[Lee Borgersen]

Please post the post trip photos. This I got to see Pink flamigos 

[Bobby Bass]

Shhh, them pink birds are secret Muskie baits on this end of the lake and we are going to throw some at them Muskie's.. :fishing2:

[Bobby Bass]

Well about 30 days of nice weather and Hunter and I went fishing on the one that ended the run. A little lite drizzle and some showers cut our time on the water a little short. We did boat 19 fish, lost a few at the boat and had hits that we don't know what to count as. Nothing to talk about size wise but big enough to make us stop and reel them in between conversations. With the Puddle Humper on the trailer we retreated to the cover of a big tree to smoke a cigar and watch it rain on the lake. My plan of keeping Hunter busy talking kept him from catching a northern bigger then mine and kept him from moving up in the standings. After an hour or so of catching up and cigars almost gone we agreed to fish together again so there will be another trip on a different lake. :fishing2:

[Lee Borgersen]

Every time the Wanderers look down from our second place standing position it looks like quite a slugfest going on down there. Every time we look up we keep hitting our head  on that pesty first place team with no name. Looks like I'll just have to find time to go fishing without my clients. Borgie can accompany me and move up her standings in the MNO  Smackdown community also.




Looking down from 2nd place.

[The General]

Will BB and HD it sounds like you all had a good time no matter.  I hope it works out better the next go around.  Sorry Lee it's hard for me to talk smack to fishing and a good cigar.   

[Bobby Bass]

Well I am still looking at another month of fishing,   :fishing2: Being side tracked here with the thirty plus miles of wind and rain showers the past few days but the weather will pass and in a few days I will be back on the water again. Still have siding to go up and need a few nice days for painting but I am sure the wife will be understanding if I take the Puddle Humper out when she is not looking  Our team is just a nice walleye away from sitting on top and we all know anything can happen when you are fishing and not 

[fubar]

Well im waiting for your guy's talk to come through. Im at school now and went into automatic piolet mode when the waterfowl season hit so i think im going to be sitting where i am right now at the end of the contest. The other day we were still talking about a name and we jsut cant find one that realy fits. With all of the good names out there it wouldnt seem right for us to just throw somthing out there half cocked jsut for the sake of having one. Well maby we can come up with somthing so you guys have a name to put on the first place trophy!

In the spirit of sportsmanship let me help you guys out a little with choosing a team name that will be befitting of a team that seemed to collapse under pressure as your about to do.


 We almost won first.
Fell from the top.
Fallen leaders.
Nice while 1st lasted.
Wannabe champs.
Down fur da count.
The nice try boys.
Almost champs.
The Wanderers doormat.
Better luck next year.
Defeated ones.
Close but no cigar crew.
We lost it our way.
The what happened bunch?
The Momma's Boys.
Ran out of gas gang.
The collapsibles.

I don't think I would be making a space on the mantel for the trophy just yet. This morning I had to reject a 29" walleye caught by Spuds that would have given his team Bena and the Jets first place.    A fogged lens    making a bad picture is the only reason you are still in first place. This here Challenge aint' over yet!   

[Fawkinnae]

Oh no! The Romanian judge has rejected Spuds 29" walleye.

[Fawkinnae]

That's O.K. We're not done yet. We've got a whole month.

[Lee Borgersen]

  Thank You Lord for fogged lenses! 

[Dan R.]

Thank You Lord for fogged lenses! 

[Lee Borgersen]

My condolences spuds

[Dan R.]

Lee i got that back in august & i'm still kicking myself
      

[Lee Borgersen]

You must be pretty bruised up by now.
