      Better have someone read the rules to you.   :whistling:   
I assume this comment was meant for me! :scratch:
As Bobby Bass stated, Bass are legal to catch and keep in Northeastern Minnesota, beginning the opening day of fishing!! :whistling:

     You are good to go.  It's called a head start.  Don't waste it.    ;D

Boat's going in the water today, and 33% of SEALTeam 6 will be on the prowl tomorrow to begin burying the rest of the Challenge participants. training-087 training-087 training-087
My biggest challenge will be trying to post a picture, with my computer illiteracy. :banghead:
However, I'm better with a computer than the Barbarian's are at fishing, and that ain't a compliment!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Don't forget to put the drain plug in this year. Forgetting 4 yrs. in a row would be a new Ely record. That's taking under consideration that you are the current record holder at 3 years in a row. Are they going to have that column in the Ely Echo again this year. "Mishaps and mannerisms of the greatoutdoors."
 
Don't you think your taking that team pride thing a bit to far? After all I don't see any of your teammates painting a picture of a seal on the side of their boats.  :rotflmao:


Good luck my friend!

    Team Make a Move is preparing to do a little seal clubbing this weekend.   Pics are too graphic to share.  We were going to leave it to the Barbarians but they just can't seem to mount any kind of an offense.   We were waiting to hear the end of Wildlifes broken rod story.  I heard his wife has been complaining about that for a couple of years.   ;)

Hold on there guythatthinkheknowitall!! I do know that Bass is not open here and it will not opening in tell 5-28 With that said I do know it open north and east of u.s. hey 53 from Duluth to international fall that is open 5-14  All I was asking If HD that caught it in that area that was open, If so yes it would count for his team But if it was not then no is should not count, Because in the rule you have to follow the DNR laws Now I think I can speak for a lot of us here that HD would not lie about it!!  :happy1:

Hey, hey, Lee,
I did have a picture of a big seal on my boat, and sent a copy to Bobby Bass and the General.
They made me take it off, said it looked too much like Lee Borgersen, and the last time they saw anything that ugly was those carvings on the front of a Viking ship that were used to ward off evil spirits! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

SO you caught this "Monster" on the Willy World (The bargain cave of Wal-Mart) pole and it snapped in half.  The fish was probably a 2 pound Carp.  I just have to know though.........did you have the lucky brown wife beater on or did you switch to white?

   I would post that fish.  If someone comes along and ties yours and posts it first they get top spot.  If it's not 30 inches or better it won't be enough.

Accually Wildlife, I caught it in Wisconsin off of a dock. Yes it is a legal fish, but I just posted it to mess with your head. I saw that you were online posting your fairy tail...and wanted you to get flustered. (of which I did  :rotflmao: )

But, no, it could not be posted by the challenge rules. That's why it was removed.
