Sorry Borgie, could only manage a few inch upgrade.  On the plus side though Roberto heard The General was coming to Pine County and got the flock out of there.   ;)

Take a few years if you like.  It doesn't matter anyway.  That upgrade is about as useless as a union thug.  However that little thing would be a trophy for them.

 Looks as if I'll have to be put on injured reserve for an unknown length of time. I've been fighting with a re-occurring kidney stones problems and spent 5 hrs. in the emergency room yesterday. I've got some procedures scheduled in the near future and have my fingers crossed. It's the worst pain I've ever had and that includes a prior heart attack years ago.

Anyhow I've been grounded from any future fishing trips so my teammates will have to pick up the slack. Go get um boys! :happy1:

   Sorry Lee.  Kidney stones are bad business.  I feel awful that you are out.  Out of respect for you and your contributions to the challenge maybe we should call this years challenge a draw and continue it next summer starting from scratch.   :coffee:

Now I know why the union thugs are at the bottom of the barrel. As if that wasn't low enough you's guys have somehow managed to scrape a hole in the barrel and are hanging on to the bottom rim. You'll have to come up with a brilliant ploy such as my legit excuse for not finishing at the top of the heap. Maybe something like :scratch: a massive storm is coming or something like that. NO! :banghead: I think that was last years excuse you used.

Any how there is a slim chance I'll see that one more trip this season.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. Hope you are on the recovery trail soon. It looks like the General's northern upgrade wasn't that big. We need a 36.5 inch pike to take second place which I think is doable. I'd need a 41.25 inch to move into first and I don't really think that is going to happen. Going to be hard enough moving into second. Not finding the big ones yet. Don't even know if they exist in this lake.

    Never say that the Union Thugs have no compassion.  We gave you all a way out of a Thug Thumpin.  My Union brothers prepare to get busy and leg sweep the leader board!!  Remember no one ever thought the twinky could be stopped.

Hmmm, then you should have called your team "The Twinkies" which would be pretty appropriate for three guys that obviously wear pink Tutu's, and ballet slippers!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Then to say you gave the rest of the teams a way out of a Thug Thumpin is hilarious, since no one has been anywhere near you duds at the bottom of the board for the entire season!!  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Retired, you should have kept your $5 and bought powerball tickets.  you'd have better odds of winning that then moving into second.  With all the fish you've never posted over the years I'd say we are pretty safe.  Better hope one of your teammates decides to hit the water again. ;)

Sorry DDS I only deal in Grants and Benjamins.  Plus the fish I catch are so big they need a HD ruler not one of those that the union bugs use that fit inside their pocket protectors.  The only thing I'd ever use an etch a sketch for is to see if it would leave as big a marks as an AP switch as I beat you over the forehead with it. ;).  But the way it looks is I'd have to drop it off a 6 story building and hope it lands on you as you are at the bottom.

Like I mentioned before Private, I've posted fish in the past. Maybe nothing spectacular but still fish. I just never bothered posting any this year because with Lee on the same team I knew whatever he caught on his Ely trip would beat anything I had. We'll see what you have to say when I catch that northern that's going to knock you out of second place. I would expect you'll be doing a lot of  :cry: :cry:

   Ya in the movies anything is possible.  They made sissy Eastwood out to be a tough guy.  In reality he was a bigger girly man than TGO.   At least John Wayne played himself.  He was not an actor.  He just shot and punched people when he felt like it.

         Some old fisherman were seated around the campfire :campfire:

Some old fisherman were seated around the campfire out on
the lonesome prairie, and with the pride for which these men
were famous, it was a night of bravado, rot gut whiskey,
and many tall tales...

 DDS says, "I must be the strongest,
meanest, toughest fisherman there is.

Why, just the other day, a bull got loose in the corral. It had
gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns
with my bare hands and castrated that sucker with my teeth."

The General couldn't stand to be bested.
"That's nothing, I was walking down the trail yesterday
and a 15 foot diamondback rattler slid out from
under a rock and made a move for me.

I grabbed that :censored: with my bare hands, bit off its head,
and sucked the poison down in one gulp -
didn't even get a belly ache."

Old Lee from Illinois
remained silent, slowly stirring the
campfire coals with his pecker...

Yeah you are right he did play with himself.  When he was Marion he wore rainbows and his boyfriends name was John.  I heard Marion Wayne had a stunt double just to ride his horse and shoot his gun.  What a sissy.  Probably had root beer mixed with water every time it showed him taking a shot of whiskey.
