   In defense of my good friend the general, he said over 31 inches.  I saw no where that a 31 would even get you a free bowl of soup.  Next time Wildlife you have to use the BB technique.  You stand on them for a minute or so and you can easily get another inch and a 1/2 out of them.   :rotflmao:

I would have to agree with DDS both fish are nice trophy as greatoutdoors has better color in it, I think that has a lot to with the colder and clear water in the north. It mite have to do with the time of year as well, As I got my back after spawning and that take a tole on them as the bigger one take a beating on them.  :offtopic:

  Greattolitsiter I told you my eye was going to be hard to bet!  :dancinred: :dancinred:

Now that pike I have been looking but we will see if I can get him this weekend  ;D As it look like I need a 32" pike take that top spot form the team seal poo and that not a really big pike,

soon Lee will be back and who know what he will bring back  :scratch: and who know what big slick mite have to throw in the mix, (pike)

As your lead get smaller and smaller  There no way to stop The Barbarians now!!!!  :dancinred: :dancinred: :taz: :taz: :happybounce: :happybounce: training-087 training-087

     The dental suction technique while very effective in stiffening out its victim for a moment proves not to be very effective for this particular challenge.  Seems the bigger they are the more they squirm thus rendering a photograph virtually impossible.    :nerd:

[/quote]  Team Make a Move and Huntin Chicks I thought were going to be some competition in this years Challenge. But I now know that they are sponsored by the state of Minnesota. They had a fishing slowdown for several weeks then were forced to stop completely during the budget problems and are only now regrouping after attending school for retraining. By the time they are up to full speed this here challenge will be all over. Team make a move has pretty much flat lined and we are just waiting to check out their donor cards.   ( please note that we are an equal opportunity smack )   :coffee:

Don't get too comfortable wildeyefeminist, as I've tossed back a 36 inch Pike, lost one about 10 inches longer, and caught two eyes 28+ inches the last few days (not including the 29+ upgrade), so SEALTeam 6 is just warming up.  And do not think for one minute that your bass is safe!! :dancinred:  :dancinred: :dancinred: :dancinred:

 :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Well so how dose it feel to move up 3/4 of a incs and lose two more incs of that lead and at the same time I took one more of your bigger fish off. Three now down to one,  ;D     :dancinred: :dancinred: :dancinred:

As I look back to all  Challenge  2008 2009 2010 and my Bass and walleye are the top, So yes I do feel a little comfortable with them  ;) But I am not done  :dancinred: :dancinred:

I set the bar at a 42" Pike  ;D  That would give The Barbarians a 95 score and that would all so brake a new record  ;D

Well there wildeyefeminist, I do believe that the Boobarians are still looking at the same tail lights as they have for over two months :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Oh Yeah! :taz: :taz: :taz: :taz:
Now Bobby is heading out for a bigger pike, and the tail lights will become smaller and smaller as we disappear into the distance, far ahead of the other teams!! :toast:

I look at it this way geattolitsitter, It like a game of chest you set your appoint up and then put him in a checkmate, game over team seal poo loses and The Barbarians win.  ;D

like I said back you now will have to get all three new upgrade to stand a chance, as I only need a big pike. now 1/2 of the  Challenge is over.  As I as not assuming nothing and I will not be siting back I will fish to the end!!

Don't build yourself up to much there Wild, You are not the reason I will be getting some fishing this week in. Weather will be cooler and I don't do well in real humid stuff. That is why I will be on the water a lot from mid August on. Last time I looked this here Challenge runs to the End of October and Team six is still in the lead. Once again you are back on this 'Last weekend in first" but you have to catch a northern. Matter of fact your eye was caught this spring and so was your bass so you really have done much of anything here for awhile. Exccept make noise and talk  :bs:  :coffee:

Here we go with the predictions again..........I guess even the weather man can get something right after 250 guesses, but I don't think Willy will. 

I'll be heading to Leech for a week come August and will fish for Pike if need be, but I don't think it will.  Plus I was hoping to do some fishing with Bobby, but he never seems to want to reply.  Oh well, I guess the hatchet won't be buried.
