I'd like to thank deadeye for single handedly carrying "The Crushers" to the 2015 Challenge  title this year!!   :happy1: :happy1: :happy1: :happy1:
Not to mention the fact that it allowed me to get a second consecutive Championship!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Starting to plan where to put next years 2016 Fishing Challenge Title award after winning AGAIN, & making it a threepeat!!!!!!   :kingscourt:
OH YEAH, BABEE!!!   :dancinred: :dancinred: :dancinred:

FYI, with what you posted this year your team isn't finishing anywhere near the top.  :coffee:


   For your information General, with your new rules and hand picked team you would have won the first year.  That would be 2008.   Even taking out the first place team for a couple of questionable years your team at best would be first losers.  Deadeye had a great year.  I think last year 3 or 4 pike came in at 40 inches.  This year none.  Make and change the contest however you want but this contest only proved to me that fishing was tough for everybody.   Prosupermag, Borgie and deadeye all made the most of the time they had on the water.   I personally did not even lose a good one at the boat.  Trophy fish are just that.  If it was easy everyone would would be rich betting deadeye catches another monster large mouth bass in the same category as this year.  He may in fact catch one.  No guarantees let alone get a picture of it.   Congratulations to the winners and I want it to be known that if TGO misses out on his spring pike bite he gets weaker in the knees than Tiger Woods missing a 6 inch putt or Lee B.  Trying to keep the Loch Ness monster from trying to eat his slip sinker.   :happy1: :happy1:

Your stats may be true but win or lose this year was the most fun I ever had in a fishing challenge.   By the way HD had a bigger walleye and I would have never stopped with that little bass I posted so your statistics really don't hold water if there would have been any competition we would have put more effort towards it.

The Curshers won the Challenge!   :coffee:
They didn't win the side bet, aka Challenge the Challenge, and don't really care!!   ;D ;D ;D
More sour grapes from the General, just like last year when the phantom Pike wouldn't photograph!!   :scratch:

Sorry tgo but I never made any excuses about last year.  However there is an award this year in the regular challenge for team total, nothing to do with the side challenge.  One little pike posted by you would have won that for your team.  Are you sure you didn't care?

  Quite frankly that is like  Carter and Mondale asking  Reagan if he feels bad about not winning Minnesota.   :scratch: :doah:

I would say it's the exact opposite.  But like the Backup punter who gets a Super Bowl ring so did you and many others.   :happy1:

My regret was not posting the 31 1/2 inch pike early in the year, which was the biggest I caught.  :doah: 
I didn't think it was worth sliming up the boat with something that small.   :scratch:
If it cost my team another award, I screwed up, and apologize to my team mates.  :happy1:
I will surely re-think my position on that next year.  :banghead:

I'm not sure how you would ever comprehend that out of what I posted. :scratch:  I tried to say in a nice way unless I absolutely have to, those worthless slimy fish are not coming in the boat.
