2014 MNO Fishing Challenge Smackdown-enter at your own risk:)

[greatoutdoors]

No worries Lee.  Tell her to send me that Charm and I'll put a picture of me in it.  That way she'll have at least one Handsome looking Stud around the house.   


Unless TGO and his fellas upgrade something Borgie and I will know that we were the real champs of this year and I'm guessing her an I can live with that.  That is of course unless some other team can top what we should have had.

Since you're claiming a Phantom Fish, making you the "real" champions, why not say it was 49 inches long?
You should have started that post out, "Once upon a time......" 
Hell, Corny caught a 37 inch walleye, but didn't have a quarter in his pocket, so the photo wouldn't have counted.  He tossed it back!! 
jkjkoda caught a 27 inch smallie, but the batteries were dead in the camera so he couldn't take a picture. 
So the Eve of Destruction would actually be at about 105.25 if it wasn't for bad luck!! 
Dang it!! 

[Boar]

Yeah and Im ahead of TGO by ten inches, literally! and she said that.

[DDSBYDAY]

   The phantom fish was lucky.  That 19.75" smallie he posted got a dislocated mandible (lower jaw) getting stretched out to 20".

    (I'll buy the beers General    )

That butt kicking you're receiving in the side bet is hurting you bad, isn't it??

Before you continue to put your foot in your mouth any longer, however funny it is, the "phantom" fish actually has a picture taken of it and it's posted in the open forum under the Stokes Bay 2014 thread.  Broaden your horizons TGO and feel free to take a look around at other parts of the website now that you can come out from under the porch.

That I can't even try to disagree with.  You were there (however worthless that was), that thing being 20.25 inches was a beast and flopping all over the boat.  I had to hold on tight.  Kind of like if someone was gong to try and take your blow up doll away.  They know they are only coming away with a leg or an arm from the vice grip you would have on her. 

(I'm guessing it's back to me paying  )

Hmmm, I looked at the pictures, didn't see any measuring board with the quarter indicator, so it may have only been around 37-38 inches long, at best!!! 
We only have your word to take for it, and DDS advises me that's no good!! 
Eve of Destruction Rules, Babee!!! 

[Boar]

Tgo has a blow up doll? I thought it was a blow up farm animal.

[greatoutdoors]

That's DDS with the blow up...........(fill in the blank!)   

[The General]

Very true TGO.  The only people who saw it measured were the people in my boat, HD, and Little HD.  Plus with the judging here after the camera angle deductions, shutter speed deduction, measuring off of who knows which fin deduction, flash deduction, one leg shorter than the other deduction.......... it probably would have only went 15 inches and I would have been told it didn't meet the minimum length restrictions.   

[Retired on Osakis]

Nice Walleye and Bass you've posted Lee. The Grave Diggers are starting to make their move. Well, two thirds of them have, still need to do my part. Again, nice fish.

[DDSBYDAY]

  General I went back and looked at your bass again.  I will change the score to 20,25.  I leveled out the ruler and can show it is in fact 20.25.  Sorry.  I didn't notice that when I was taking the picture.

[DDSBYDAY]

  Here is the basis for the score change to 20.25"

Shake it off General, the hurt will go away! 
As you may recall, I didn't put the spinner bait indicator in a 20 inch Bass upgrade the year you, I, and Bobby Bass were team mates, costing us a second place finish, along with the public humiliation I had to endure on the smackdown forum!

I guess ya gotta do anything to stop the whining.

[The General]

Keep it at 20 bro. I told you in a pm a long time ago I was just going to give you some  in the smack down about it to liven things up around here.  I couldn't give two  about it really.  But I guess since you and Glenn were fighting over blow up Annie and tore a leg off you have nothing better to do then level out pictures.

TGO in all seriousness I was over the lost pics of that Northern about 15 minutes after I realized they were gone.  Sharing that moment with my son (as you can see in the pic) was worth it.  What you guys don't know was after I hooked the fish I let him real it in.  I knew it was big and watching him fight it and the three or four runs it made each time it would get close to the boat was amazing.  He couldn't keep the rod high enough off the side of the boat so I would have to grab it and hold it as I was afraid the rod was going to snap in half.  The only thing that hurt was with the new crappy regulations we couldn't take the fish home to put on the wall and he couldn't understand why.  However we are getting a replica made.  I'll catch another pike yet this year.

That reminds me.
   Did you hear the one about the guy that tried to enter an old photo of a fish in a contest. He enters the old photo in the contest and then states that "he forgot" to put the spinnerbait in the photo. He must a thought that the judges were born yesterday.

 

The worst part is that he still moans about it to this day but, tells others that the hurt will go away.

[Lee Borgersen]

Hey! Where does a fella get one a dem dare screen rulers? Borgie swears I lost a inch or two over da years. I say she's just dad gum wrong.

You're just happy as hell that I forgot, because that would have bumped the Borgster into a third place finish, giving her an entire year to pound on your noggin out of frustration!!!!

  Geez I never thought of it that way ouch!

[DDSBYDAY]

    Well after updating the scoreboard I see that if the General  could follow the simplest of directions the Borgie beatdown of 2014 would have been epic.  The fish measuring was witnessed by official MNO members with the quarter included.  (of course he had to borrow it)

  A 42 inch pike would have put them at 91.75 inches and the only human pinata born and raised in Ely would have been leaking gravy.  Even if the Eve of destruction manages to hold onto second place  they will know in there hearts they got it on a technicality.    Some Nodakers and Ely residents have no pride.

[greatoutdoors]

OK DDS, enough of you relying on the General or Borgie to defeat an opponent that you can't beat yourself!!
Why don't YOU just catch a fish large enough to count in the Challenge!! 
No photo with a quarter, no entry, no would have, no could have, no might have been, because all that don't count for nuttin!!!!
Until the time comes that you can man up and catch a few big fish, the Eve of Destruction Rules, Babee!!!   

[Lee Borgersen]

In case some haven't noticed The Grave Diggers have just begun to make their move towards to top of the leader board. Just to show our respect towards Borgie And Da Boys we would be remiss in not mentioning a gallant effort on their part as they take over 2nd place.   However it's time to take the gloves off.

 By the way, then the rumor started up that The General was able to retrieve the missing 42 inch northern photo. Well, that was when the trouble started for greatoutdoors.  He simply broke down  and had to be taken to the emergency room by ambulance. It seems that he started to  and couldn't stop running to the pot with a bad case of the Hershey squirts. He had to be put on an I.V. due to severe dehydration. Please don't pass this information on to anyone else since we wouldn't want G.O. to feel embarr ed     The Eve Of Distraction won't have to keep looking over their shoulder much longer because they will passed up soon!

The Grave Diggers will be pulling out the heavy equipment in the days to come and everyone will be tuning in looking for any hourly updates that are sure to come.

Yadda, yadda, yadda, lotta boasting, but not much posting!!! 

PS-Hey Lee, help me out! 
I was just checking the leader board when my glasses broke, and I was unable to see who's in last place!! 
Who pray tell, are those losers??? 

[The General]

 I'm still planning on a northern pike trip or two out with Hunterdown so it's not over yet.

It's a good thing this isn't a spelling contest Boar. If it was you'd still be in last place.
