She better pray she greased the judges palm enough to end up on the same team I'm on, or the REAL name of all five will be "Borgie's Team Loses," (again)  just as she did when the Eve of Destruction crushed her team like a bug in the 2014 MNO Challenge!!  training-087 training-087 training-087 training-087 training-087 training-087 training-087 training-087

  Ten days left to sign up.  Three more in will give us 8 teams that will be randomly drawn.  The teams will be drawn and posted Wed. May 6th.  Bumper sticker payment must be received before the 12 noon deadline to enter.  You do not need to have it in possession at anytime during the contest.  Good luck to all that have entered and remember we still have a few spaces available if you want to get in.

                         ::welcome:: Big Slick


One of our previous Challenge Championship team members has just signed up as of today. Big Slick is looking forward to seeing 2 more persons sign up to round out the 8th team in the challenge. If two more of our sight members would cross over the RR tracks to sign up they would put themselves right in the thick of it. Not to mention the benefits of having their fish measured by official challenge judges. It would also give them a chance to win a real championship.

                            How about it boys?

Lee we shall see who signs up.  If I actually see all "warriors" I'd be happy to join.

Well General, you've seen the sign up list. I don't see any actual looser's on the roster do you! Of course i'm not you. So, in your opinion do you see any unsatisfactory members having signed up. I know that your worst nightmare didn't sign up so for you that should be a real plus. If the roster don't meet your standards I guess we won't have the pleasure of your company this year.

I'm just trying to be realistic based upon your above statement. What say you? I wouldn't waste time on this except we really would like to see you and HD sign up.

Lee,

I believe you to be honestly sincere in your post so I will answer very honestly.  I wouldn't call anyone a loser.  I see a majority of people who I would call "warriors" and I see 5 or 6 or 7 that are in it just to be in it and if they catch something "that is an upgrade" it might be posted.  I am however very interested and very well could be wrong but I expect very few teams where every member posts one fish from each category depending who gets drawn to each team.  I could better answer this question after the teams are drawn.  However I can predict to a 99.9% chance that team Winner Winner Chicken Dinner has a fish from each category posted for every team member.  In which I hope in the future to give others who go out and give 100% every year the same joy.  I hope that was honest and sincere enough for you Lee.

Warrior = 1. Someone who will go out and fish because they are apart of a team and their team needs them. (which they signed up for as no one is forcing them)
2.  May normally fish for just 1 of the 3 species but because their team needs them will target all fish at one time or another.
3.  Someone who adds something to the web site as a whole and not just the fishing challenge.

*Disclaimer: Warrior may be substituted by good teammate, fishing challenge extraordinaire, beer drinker, and Chicken  :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

  General I agree with Lee that we would like you guys to participate.  I expect most teams to have all three members try to post their three fish.  Whether they all can get a successful picture is another story.  I guess we will have to wait and see.  Trophy fish are just that.  Not everyone will be able to post a trophy but can post a legal fish to help their team.  The team drawing will be in a few days and the staple item will be announced.  Wednesday  is the big day.  We still need two more contestants for this years challenge to get to 8 teams.  If we don't get them Big Slick will get a refund and have to sit this year out.   There is still hope though.  The sign up is open until noon on Wed.  No late entries.   :happy1:

  Well this is the last full day to sign up for the 2015 MNO fishing challenge.  If you have not sent a check yet you will be sitting this year out.  Lees mail doesn't come in until after 12 tomorrow so todays mail will be it.  UNLESS you chose to pay online via paypal.    You will need to send me a pm and give me your paypal email address so I can request payment from you.  You then in-tern can send your payment online.  If you are interested in doing this don't wait.  The transaction has to be completed before tomorrows 12 noon deadline.  We could still use two more to round out a full 8 teams.   The teams will be posted tomorrow evening as well as an announcement of the staple item for this summer which must be included in your fish pictures. 
Good luck everyone.   :happy1:    It looks like the competition will be tough this year.

Anything that is free is worth saving up for.
