This is for the older fellas. What did you do for fun before there were fish in the lakes?

Same as the rest of the young guys. Hunt beaver.

[DDSBYDAY]

 I would typically castrate gnats with a splitting mall.

This place is like an old AT&T commercial... You can hear a pin drop..       21 days till opener....

but..............the million dollar question is...............wait............... ice or open water!!!!!!

[Bobby Bass]

Rivers here are rolling deep and dragging ice with them. I am already looking at what I can be doing on opening week other then fishing. Even if the ice is out it is going to be some pretty cold water for awhile...

My.....My the last two posts sound like some of the boys are already practicing up on their excuses for the 2014 Challenge

excuses.............hahahaha not me!!! only excuse I got is the dam camera!!!!!

[DDSBYDAY]

  I knew it was out there somewhere.  I found the wheel of fortune episode where the guy that beat out Greatoudoors in the finals go on the show.      and surprises everyone.  It's hard to beleive  TGO is a better wheeler than a fisherman.

? is it true... Some one told me that everyone that enters the Challenge will receive a hand drawn hot spots map from DDS with his fishing tips sheet for the Lake of no fish... I just thought this was something he shared with his teammates and Lee 

[DDSBYDAY]

   The only hot spot on the" Lake of  NO FISH" is my boat.  All passengers are required to wear and look good in a Bikini.  If  Lee comes to town I will wave the bikini requirement.

If you wave the bikini requirement and there just the two of you, will Lee be naked or wearing a thong??

Just for your information G.O., Borgie always said "Its not how Lee looks in his bikini it's what's inside his bikini".

[greatoutdoors]

Lee,
I have no doubt that Borgie said that! 
However, since you haven't worn that bikini for about 50 years, she probably uses it for stashing her mad money!!

[Boar]

maybe so, but it looks like theres a whole lota camel toe going on there, or moose knuckle depending on regeon

[greatoutdoors]

Well, maybe a real tiny Camel toe!!

[Bobby Bass]

Only 17 fishermen signed up? Maybe it should be two man teams....

I had given that some thought a while back. Unfortunately there would be to many drawbacks.

 The team concept would be blown out of the water. With a two person team, what if your partner turns out to be one of those that don't fish much? There you sit with the whole load on your back. Think you have a chance to win? I doubt it! Would you still remain as motivated? I doubt it!

With 3 members per team and one turns out to be a noncombatant you still can remain motivated with hope on the horizon. If you get stuck trying to carry the whole thing alone it's no fun. Having multiple team mates adds to the concept of a "were in it to win it!" That even keeps the smackdown thread more active since we feed off our teammates.

[dew2]

UMM? What if a 3 person team has only one person who gets out? Ever think of leaving 2 people say this is our team? How about mixed couples? Mom & Dad,male, female teams.I doubt anyone here gets out fishing as much as I or the ole girl who only goes out evenings,Is that a deficit for us or others? we go out most every week day,No weekends.I'm out sometimes 3 times a day,but always at least 5 times a week.
 Spread it out make it fun,competition can make it go either way fun or to much competition for some.
 So my question is>Is this a fun competition or nutbuster? either way when I get in, I will be on the water so much more than someone who works and has family to attend to.I believe that would give me an advantage?

[dakids]

Its not always how much you fish but WHERE you fish.  I was matched up with borgie last year and she has a way of catching huge walleyes and smallmouth even though I don't think she fishes nearly as much as you dew.  I only fished about 6 times last year without my kids and got lucky with a personal best pike.  You also have to take a good picture which some here can attest to being the hardest part.  SEND YOUR 5 BUCKS IN AND PREPARE TO GET YOUR A$$ WHIPPED BE ME, unless you get lucky and are my teammate.

[Bobby Bass]

actually the "Two man fishing team" was kind of tongue in cheek, But really I would not have a problem with a two man fishing team if numbers are down. I fished last year and I am sure I was not alone posting all of my fish for my team, Sometimes that happens. For me it meant I had to go walleye fishing, on purpose!  I would fish no less harder if I had a one or two partners.

I may send in the 5er.Problem is June 12th is my putoff surgery.We were snowed in April 17th the date to do it.Now if I get teamed up I can only fish for that team till June 11th and wont be back on the water till at least Aug 12th.That would be me bringing down some team members!
 Anyone mind if I get on your team only to fish from Opener till june 11th? With no guarentee I'll be back till 2015??

[corny13]

Doesn't sound like you would bring anyone down..fishing every day from opener or ice out till June 11 will be more times than most of us all season...Plus the challenge doesn't end until end of Oct  which is a great time to catch trophies..  However it does sound like  you will miss out on the Trophy ROCKBASS time of late june-july..sorry for you but I want that Traveling MNO trophy back!

[dew2]

Hold on now Green lake by Spicer,Mn. has some of the best rockbass fishin in the world!! They are attracted to me like flies are attracted to Glenn57!!
 I'm a big catfish fisher person,Why isnt there a catfish trophy/contest fer dem channels and Flats. then sunfish? We get a few 10-12+ inchers a year.(ask the general) bout diamonds crappie & sunnies.Which leads to me asking why not a crappie compotition.Its stopped at Nords,eyes and Bass.Maybe a full specie contest may draw more people?

[greatoutdoors]

The real reason Lee doesn't like the two man team idea is that he may get stuck with DDS as a partner.
With the fishing ability of DDS (or lack of), the Leester  wouldn't have anybody to drag his butt across the finish line like he has for the last three years, he'd be on his own!!!
OH YEAH, BABEE!!!

[Bobby Bass]

Dew I would be happy to have you as my partner, as for the crappie we did try it the first year of the challenge and there was just no interest. Matter of fact we offered a separate prize package for it to help spur interest and there was just not many takers.

[Boar]

sign up dew, life happens, dont worry about it, I ussually end up carrying my team anyways
