The man's a legend I tell ya! 

[Boar]

no wonder he cant catch fish hes on MNO all the time. Congrae lee! awsome numbers

[The General]

Lee, nice to see you are worried.  But Roberto has no bearing on whether I join or not, he actually posts fish and participates around here.  I'm just waiting to see if the entry fee does it's job.  So far   with a couple that hopefully a little cash on the line lights a fire under them.

[Lee Borgersen]

.............The news just keeps pouring in here at MNO




OK, so help me out here.  Does this add below mean that greatoutdoors is donating a free guided fishing trip to some lucky winner in the 2014 Fishing Challenge? On the other hand knowing him it's just another ploy to entice people to his shop.
 

On a lighter note I spotted an add in the Ely Echo.

Help wanted:

"Desperately seeking a part time body guard. This would only be a part time position for a three week period in July. This would be a 24 hr. round the clock opportunity. I will provide room and board staying with me. I should have room for two under the front porch of my shop".

Please contact: Jim Maki at the Greatoutdoors shop Ely Mn.
I would be the man with the large lump on my head from last year when I was attacked by Borgie fell down by accident

[greatoutdoors]

Lee,
I always answer a Challenge with action.
Because of this dissing, the team I'm on will crush Borgie's Bingo Bimbos so badly, she will take it out on Lee's head.
Her words to him before his demise will be, "you hadda fire him up, and he crushed my team!!"
With two clubs in her hands, she will proceed to play the drum solo of "Wipeout" on Lee's noggin, which will be shared with the world on a Utube video!!
OH YEAH, BABEE!!!

I for one will be looking forward to that video - Rock on with your bad self Borgie!   

[Lee Borgersen]

I talked to walleye woman last week (greatoutdoors fishin friend). She stated that this fall she will be coming out with a video titled.

                                                          
              "Greatoutdoors Bloopers And Blunders"

Since she was unfortunate enough to have had spent some time on the water with our hero she's gathered some of Greatoutdoors adventures on video. She states that the footage she's collected makes Bill Dance's video look like child's play. Everything from him sinking his special vehicle to the bottom of Burntside to his famous memory lapses and Borgie Beatdown head lumps.     I almost forgot then there was the time he better wait for the video to come out, don't want to spoil it for ya

                  This should be a real knockout video!

                                        

[greatoutdoors]

Too bad you'll be in the intensive care unit, unable to enjoy the video after your "Wipeout Solo!!!"
OH YEAH, BABEE!!!

[DDSBYDAY]

  I though those knitting classes were done with.       Oh well, whatever as long as you are having fun.   

[Boar]

I think the cake decorating classes start soon a long with bonzi tree pruning.

What will it take to entice HD & Son back into the fold of Fishing Challenge competitors'.  Are we not worthy of your company or is it just that you's boys are afraid of landing on your .   In 2012 these two finished in 2nd and 3rd place. Last year they never signed up at all.  Not even a sniff from our heros last year.
 
Will these two sodbusters man-up or try to just sit back and revel about the olden days when they finished in 2nd and 3rd place?

[Bobby Bass]

  HD you and your son enjoy your head to head fishing trips. Waiting on when you bring the boy up here to fish for steelhead..

  Now why didn't I think of that

[Bobby Bass]

  can't wait to see what kind of new rules will be put in place for the ROcKing BASS challenge.   deadeye as last years winner should be this years host, unless that changes 

[corny13]

Me thinks Deadeye doesn't want to risk loosing the Coveted Traveling MNO ROcKing BASS trophy so he is keeping quiet!    I bet its on the wall of his new Deer Camp......

I hope he wipes off all those slobbering kiss prints before he turns it over this year!

[Lee Borgersen]

Looks like things have quieted down here on the smackdown board. At this point most everyone has come to realize that their only chance to finish on the top is slim. Actually just to inject a little hope into your bloodstream I'd just like to remind you of one thing. Two of you now viewing this post will be guaranteed a first place finish. What's the secret formula.   Sure as if you haven't already figured it out.

All you have to do is be picked to be on Lee's team.   How can you make that happen. Pray! Not that most of you haven't already prayed to be on Lee's team in past years. Then again maybe you didn't pray hard enough in the past.

Good luck to all.

  Lee

[Bobby Bass]

The way sign ups are going Lee you can at least guarantee that anyone fishing with you will finish no lower then fifth place!  33 days till opener, but who is counting   :fishing2:  and still no word about the rockbass challenge.... Maybe it is just going to be a one day event?

[Lee Borgersen]

Right now many of our future competitors are still in the larva stage as they sit in their cocoons. It takes them some time until they build up enough courage to complete the metamorphosis and become Challenge worthy. What ever you do don't hit the panic button quite yet.
As soon as DDS announces the sign-up deadline you can expect to see a mad rush to pay their $5.00 fee paid and receive an MNO sticker.

Unfortunately at this time no one knows the deadline date other than DDS. Therefore "he who hesitates may be lost", Caput, out of the game if they keep screwing around.


Just so everyone realizes the choice is yours to make.

 Will you be on the inside looking out?
                      OR
Will you be on the outside looking in?

Will you choose the Don't Panic button or the Panic Button

[DDSBYDAY]

  Deadline to sign up Tues May 6th at 12:00 pm (noon).   

   2a. You will need ten posts by Tuesday May 6th 2014 at 12:00pm-noon) in order to be eligible for the draft creating the fishing teams. If you do not have the required ten posts your name will be held from the draft. To be fair to all teams we want fishermen who are active on the board

[deadeye]

I did sign up for the fishing challenge however, I was among the people who sent a stamped self addressed envelope so maybe it was thrown out.

As for the Rockbass challenge (not really a challenge for me) I accept the offer to run the contest.
And yes, last years trophy is prominently displayed on my office wall.

   Deadeye you are in.  Number seven on the official sign up.  Did you receive your sticker?  Lee sent a couple out without signing or numbering them but once you pay you are in.

Deadeye,
I see your name listed on the roster right below Glen57.   your name had to show up so close to Glenn's there. Unfortunately that's the price you pay when you don't follow directions properly. You wined up in the bad boy's club. You never know if you'll end up on Glenn's team. This way you guys can post no fish together 

                                          

            There goes a fish now. Call Glenn and he can try to catch um!

                                                

[DDSBYDAY]

    Who will be the next sign up?  The person that takes the next spot is guaranteed a position as are the #16 and #17.   That will bring us to a full 6 teams.      I wouldn't wait too long if you are planning mixing it up with the big boy's.   

[Retired on Osakis]

Maybe the ones that haven't signed up have seen the fish pictures that have been posted in the other challenges and don't want to be burdened with having to carry you clowns on their backs.   If they had some type of guarantee that they would end up on the same team as me then they would be signing up.

[deadeye]

I didn't get a MNO sticker but I thought that was because I didn't follow the rules.

deadeye,

Did you or did you not receive your MNO sticker
