The MNO Fishing Challenge Trophies have arrived!

[Fawkinnae]

JUST IN!

The MNO Fishing Challenge trophies arrived last night at the Minneapolis St. Paul airport. The flight from Italy arrived under cover of darkness and accompanied by extremely high security. There had been fear that the trophies might not be completed until early next year because of the bombastic egos of the design team. Turns out they all shared a passion for Hamm's beer and the team worked together seamlessly.

Congratulations to this years MNO Fishing Challenge winners

     Nice job on the trophies. .  Those trophies had more security around them than the president.   Hopefully you can get them into the hands of the winners safely.

Nice job Doug! Rumor has it that the Chinese are trying to to reproduce knockoffs of the MNO trophies as we speak. Unfortunately for them they will never be able to match the quality of your craftsmanship.

Hey! That sniper looks like Borgie's Ol man

Nice work Doug, those are awesome!

That is THE greatest prize EVER! My wife will feel so proud when she sees that I bet she insists it is displayed on the fireplace mantle for all her friends to ogle. Just like the woodduck I had mounted. She said the best place in the house to show its beauty was above the fireplace. Unfortunately one day not long after it came home she was dusting while I was out and the mount fell right into the fire.
  Astounding job Mr. Benson. You have created a piece of art that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Doug..... Very nice .........whats in the can?    Is it preserved pan fried Walleye fillets? 

[The General]

Should go great with some Spotted Cow.  I'll have to find out next year.

They are called spaghetti Os to sound more appetizing than carefully filleted and sorted fish sphincters

     I think he was going to use russian herring or squid this year.    No.  Now I remember.   It could be bacon.

Wow. A never ending cornucopia of good ideas.
Let's just say you could eat it if times got tough. 15.5 ounces of WhoopAss.
I guess I should have printed the nutritional specs on it.

Those are sweat in deed. Good job on them!!
