 15 (fifteen) is the natural number following 14 and preceding 16. In English, it is the smallest natural number with seven letters in its spelled name.

'Team Make A Move'  is going to get in this challenge soon.  Our goal is to play our game.  91 inches or bust!!  We will do our best and have no thoughts of the competition.   Not one posted fish fits our requirements for all time MNO record that was posted last year.  The number to beat is 90.75.  We have a bunch of fishermen and women in this challenge.  It will take catching three trophies, readable pics, and a lot of luck to win this year.  Good luck to all.  The road to the hall of fame is bumpy. :coffee:  If you happen to feel a cool breeze over your shoulder check the leader board.  That will be us making a move. :happy1:

"90.75 Kenhuntin" Hall Of Fame numbers, :bow:  but that was last year. DDS it is good to have goals. But the moon has to be just right and you have to have a "Hot Rod" on your team to crack them kind of numbers. Just so happens that Seal Team has the Hot Rod this year. Lots of time in this challenge, heck we are not even into the second quarter yet. I will make a prediction though, Some guys on here are planning a big fishing trip to northern waters thinking that they will bring home big numbers to post. If that does not happen they will have little time to catch up on their home water.

Lee and Borgie have their trip coming up, and as a past teammate I know Lee will tease us before he post some of the biggest fish yet to be caught,  :moon: that is a given and I tip my hat to a fellow champion.  :happy1: Meanwhile Seal team will enjoy being alone in first and will continue to lay smack as any of you would if you were in first. Which brings me to the Wild, what's that saying?   :sorry: "If you aint first, than your last"  :rotflmao:

I would like to apologize to my fellow team members for my lack of fish.
For the last couple weeks a nasty case of tendonitis in my left wrist has me doing next to nothing, (can't even pull the clutch lever on the Harley!) But it is getting better and the season has just begun.

I have been very busy guiding on Lake Geneva lately when Mother Nature allows me so I won't be entering any fish for some time to come. However, I am enjoying the individual competition between our man Wild Thing and that new kid on the block greatoutdoors. In the name of good sportsmanship I would like to commend both competitors for some stimulating competition. training-087
 
Just a quick word to greatoutdoors and that would be:
 Beware because I will be headed up to your home turf in the near future. This will give The Barbarians our first opportunity to play on the same level playing field right in your own backyard.

Kind of quiet there Wild..... Lot of talk about how I was going to need the whole summer to catch a fish to post and here in my first two outings I have already passed your Bass and your Northern. As a matter of fact my bass is the 2nd largest and my Northern is the 2nd largest also, only ones bigger have been caught by my Seal Team teammate.  So my fish don't show up in the standings Guess I'll have to go after him next... :rotflmao:  So Great, you think I can get one of Lee's spots so I can go catch a walleye next?  :happy1:
