[Bobby Bass]

 So what are the odds a former Fishing Challenge Champ will repeat? 
As best as I can find here are your former winners and what has happen to them in the Challenge

2008 Champs
Lee Borgerson, Big Slick and Bobby Bass

2009 Champs
Fubar  BigWinnieDuece and MetalMillitia

2010 Champs
Kenhuntin, Big Dog, and Jkjkoda

Lee Borgerson-Has a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finish
Big Slick - Has a 1st, 8th and 10th place finish
Bobby Bass - Has a 1st and a 6th place finish

Fubar- Has a 1st place finish
BigWinnieDuece Has a 1st place finish
MetalMillitia -Has a 1st place finish

Kenhuntin, -Has a 1st, 4th and a 10th
Big Dog, -Has a 1st, 7th and 14th place finish
Jkjkoda -Has a 1st place finish

Can't argue with Lee and his 3 top three finishes at the early leader!

So who do you like this year? and please no smack here, keep that for the smack thread.

Odds should change once the teams are announced..

[DDSBYDAY]

   I expect Lee to be sniffing around the top of the leader board.  Bobby needs help with the walleye and Kenny most likely will be in contention.  I like my chances.   

[DDSBYDAY]

    I also would like to add that Hunterdown, Hunterdown's son, Fawkinnae, will have some opportunities along with corny13. Wildlife provided there are no more tornados in his area this year will be around at the end. Who knows, the general could catch a fish this year if he goes out with me.    Lot's of contenders.  I think it's gonna be a dog fight.  Being  a past winner won't get you far.  Past winners will have to beat their scores from the past to be in contention.

Yup, what can I say, I would love to have a walleye fishermen on my team! that or I will just have to go walleye fishing as much as it would pain me... 

[Big Slick]

Time permitting and my awesome fishing skills will put me on the podium once again this year as long as one of my team catches a good walleye, I got the northern and bass.
On this I have no doubt.

I better go get some 20 lb. Spider to put on the reel.

[Bobby Bass]

New odds will be out here soon as the teams will be selected here soon... SO what are the odds? 

[Bobby Bass]

I'll get some odds out as soon as I get the axe out of my computer!

#16 jumps up, with two former champs, it had to happen sooner or later. One thing is for sure Smack down will not be the same.

It look like we have it all cover,
Your Bass and Pike
Lee is good for all three
Me good for all three
 
Out of the three biggest Bass last year Me and Lee had two of them and Lee was the biggest one. 

We will be on the top of the list.

[DDSBYDAY]

     Given the teams this year you guys will be doing well to make the top ten. 

[Bobby Bass]

So much for a smack free thread.

[kenhuntin]

The stars were aligned for sweet sixteen. But they picked a name like barbarians. Fatal mistake.

That be me, Bro.  Just let me know what we be talking for length.  I can normally pull a 30 inch Walleye a few times every year, and an 18-20+ Bass.   
Thought I'd have to hit the pike circuit early, but if you can lock that up we're home free

[DDSBYDAY]

    Team Make A Move is going to be moving up.   

[The General]

    Team Make A Move is going to be moving up.   

[DDSBYDAY]

    Team Make A Move is going to be moving up.   

   I will take any bets against it.   (There is money to be made from being in last place  )

[Lee Borgersen]

I have a feeling that Borgie's Raiders are actually the ones that will be making a move soon. Don't quote me on that since I got the news from a shaky source.

None the less, keep your eyes on the leader board from time to time.

[wildlifeminnesota]

Well with one half of this year is over and the odds are looking good for Lee Borgerson, Big Slick, 

[DDSBYDAY]

   I would say the leader board is going to be changing a lot over the next couple of weeks.

[DDSBYDAY]

    Don't worry.  The upgrades will be coming.  I think you guys are safe(for a while )

[Bobby Bass]

 Still waiting there DDS  Ya big changes are a coming. monster fish! 100" inches.... "Have you ever seen anything like that before"  scene from DDS fishing trip

[wildlifeminnesota]

The odd looking good for Lee Borgerson, Big Slick, 

[DDSBYDAY]

The odd looking good for Lee Borgerson, Big Slick, 

           I'm still not excited about having any repeat champs.  Glad the big fish will be coming out of hiding in Oct. 

[Bobby Bass]

What are the odds that only Great and myself will be the only ones to post fish in October...

[wildlifeminnesota]

What are the odds that only Great and myself will be the only ones to post fish in October...

Odds are not good that any will be a upgrades!! 

[DDSBYDAY]

What are the odds that only Great and myself will be the only ones to post fish in October...

     I wouldn't even put one of your dollars on that bet.

[DDSBYDAY]

    Can G.O use 4 quarters instead of a dollar bill? 

[greatoutdoors]

Hey, that's the picture of the guy Dan from Stoke's Bay saw wandering around some parking lot!!!
Said he got lost on the way to the camp!!

[DDSBYDAY]

     Getting lost on my way to Stoke's was a great learning experience.  Dan filled me in on the history of Ely.  He said something about when all the wagon trains left way back when, they forgot about a kid that was chained to the porch.   Rumor has it the kid tried to tunnel his way to China.  He made it about a foot and a half.  Started calling  himself a miner and now claims to be the  only born and raised bait shop  owner in Ely.     I can't wait to meet this guy.  If I get a chance  I promise not to say anything about Borgie beating him like a dirty rug in his own back yard.
               

[greatoutdoors]

Let's continue the history of Ely .
Back in the days before modern medicine had advanced, many plagues & viruses were prevalent, infesting small communities!
Dan Houle was one of them! 
As far as the Borgster beating SEALTeam 6, she will look like Beetle Bailey after Sarge gets done smacking him up within a few weeks, then we're coming for the Boobarians! !!!!
Oh Yeah!!!!!!
