[Bobby Bass]

So now General joins in with Boar to talk about the fish that neither one has caught, you guys should be sitting at 0.0 on the score board.

That would be fine by me to start at Zero.  Plus I didn't make the rules you did.  One would think you would be able to follow them or at the very least understand them.  You can't make this stuff up folks.

P.S. I've only been in the challenge for one day sorry I didn't have a back log of photos.  But no need to worry you pretty little head about it I will start. 

P.S.S 9,514 views above the Wal-Mart thread and growing.

No Worry there little Private, no one really expects you to catch any fish, you will just talk like you always do and hope Boar can really fish.. Well that is enough smack talk for me, must have driven up readership by a hundred.. 

[Bobby Bass]

Saw this in the local Ely paper, Picture of Lee and Great Outdoors waiting for the rain to stop. Just killing time playing a fishing game, Just had to share.

Keep on patting yourself on the back. Hopefully some day you will come out of the basement and take off the tin foil hat:rotflmao:

      Wildlifeminnesota will not be able to continue in the contest this year.  

Are you sure he just didn't take his ball and go home?

Assassin team member G.O. doesn't play fishing games, he just do it!!!
However, it does look like something that Lee would participate in!
Appears like fellow Assassin, Cody, knocked one over 20 inches today, putting the Assassins darn near on cruise control!
But don't think we're going to sit on this massive lead, we will continue to fish until we  beat the rest of the teams into submission!
OH YEAH, BABEE!!!

[Bobby Bass]

Nice fish there Cody  but that appears to be a forceps not a pliers in your picture   

[weldgasman]

Just wondering if the bass posted on bottom of page four has been scored? It looks like it has not. I know it is a small upgrade, but still an upgrade.

Welcome general to the challenge.

Sorry to hear about the mess wild has. He was having a record year.

Sorry I see it was scored. I would like to see some consistency on the scoring. Bass Invaders had A 17" scored no deduction with mouth opened wider than ours. Could we add that any opening in mouth will be a .5 deduction?

[weldgasman]

Rule 5a open mouth will result in deduction from length decided by the judges. Pictures will have to be gone through and adjusted.

Yup, welcome General!!
He's a man that won't leave when the going gets tough, like a former member of the Fearless Leaders!
It's fairly obvious that Wild bailed out because the Assassins were crushing him so badly, he didn't stand a chance!
OH YEAH, BABEE!!!

[HD]

I relalize this is the smack down thread, and most things "fly" in here...but, please refrain from dragging others into the fray because feelings can be hurt. Also, try to keep the topic on track. This is suppose to be about giving fishermen on other teams a little ribbing about fishing. Please try not to go overboard, and stick to the folks that wish to participate in this thread. Others may not wish to be brought into "The Smack Down"

Thanks,
HD

[Lee Borgersen]

Glad to see The General back aboard the challenge circuit. It's hard to smack a guy around when he's standing out a bounds. Now that he's able to legitimately enter the field of play the gloves are off. Forget about the etiquette stuff.


        We always welcome fresh meat on the table around here.

[Boar]

Boy whats up with all those bass pictures with open mouths, pliers not entirely in picture then pliers underneath the fish twice, the bottom lip clearly not on the board man, judges need to step it up a bit those pics are clearly taken by child that snuck moms camera an is just snapping picture at random, very sloppy. Now take the latest walleye picture. Now that guy has his crap together, Mouth closed, properly place on a board with a stop, pliers clearly visible an not obstructed by the fish an in the picture  entirely while battling 5 ft swells on LOW today. Clearly someone to be reckoned with in any challenge.

Nice clean photo there Mr. B. Unlike his captor that fish seems to know how to keep his mouth shut.

Ooh, nice shot Lee!!!!

[Lee Borgersen]

Mr. B.,

Where can I purchase one of those red inch strecher ruler pads? Now before you get your panties in a bunch I'm just busting some *alls here. Nice fish bro.

[Lee Borgersen]

Reminder for all MNO members that the smackdown thread is open 24/7 so, smack away any time you get the urge!

[Boar]

Thanks Mr. other B, it came with my matching pair of red painties funny what stud boar will do to suduce a hot sow at an active bait site. Oppps I just smacked myself.

[Lee Borgersen]

It's good to see that The General has already taken over command central for his new and improved team. It could be a rough ride for the rest of his crew. He's been a handfull ever since he was a kid.

[Bobby Bass]

Well of course it was a walleye picture, they fight like they are dead, and lay on the fishboard like they are dead. No problem taking a picture of a walleye, Now a bass he is looking for anyway to escape back into the water not lay there waiting for the frying pan.      

[Cody Gruchow]

bass and northerns do not like to sit still for very long, so instead of fussing with trying to keep there mouths closed and them flopping around..im just gonna snap the damn photo and get them back in the water  

[Boar]

ha you guys actually need to catch a big walley to find out.

[Bobby Bass]

A 21 incher is not a big walleye, and I do have a 30" hanging on my wall  been there done that. But you have at least caught a fish and now are officially in the Challenge

     The large mouth bass is scored constantly by the judges from the upper lip to the tip of the tail.  If the mouth is open and the lower lip is against the front of the tape there will be a deduction.  If the upper lip is at the beginning of the tape you can open the mouth and stretch the lower lip all the way back to it's  and there will be no deduction. 

[Boar]

Oh double yawn bobby of the hamptons, I mean the upper hamptons. Yawn yawns a measily 30. no pics so its just hear say an got a 32 an a 31 so yawn.... post it or hide in trailer house made of empty Hamms cans

  As I've stated in the past. " how on earth is a person on his own supposed to stand upright with camera in hand at an average of 5 1/2 ft. to 6 ft. above the fish. While doing that and hold the fish still and pinch the mouth closed with the other hand at the same time" A person would have to have a 60 inch arm length. There is no way it can be done.

Why not just measure from lip/jaw to tail and be done with it instead of all this impractical silly nonsense. The reason the DNR chooses that measurement is only because of one thing. That is to measure a legal size fish. Does anyone here really think our contestants are about to enter an undersize fish?

Now we have legit controversy:

#1  One guys fish mouth is closed and counts.

#2  One guys fishes mouth is almost closed but not all the way and it counts.

#3 One guys fishes mouth is open a tad more than example #2 and its penalized.

By the way with all this jagging around the fish is gasping for air because were trying to keep the mouth closed. Oh well it's only a fish right! WRONG!

I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A BIT LATE IN THE GAME TO MAKE A RETRO ACTIVE CHANGE NOW. SO LET'S GIVE THIS SOME THOUGHT FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE.

Our goal should be eliminating controversy by fine tuning our rules to avoid friction.

"And that's all I have to say about that." (Thanks Forrest!)
