Hmmm,
Looking at the photo Borgie sent, I'd worry about a helmet for yourself!!  :bonk:
You won't have Boprgie or anyone else to carry you in this year's Challenge, so think you're looking at 10th place, at best!!  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Good to see the SMACKDOWN is back.. :happy1: :happy1: :happy1:   Now I must admit this season might be a little tough on me. Starting a new job..next week...yeah I should just retire but I'd get in too much trouble..  Yep it seems everyone always posts their reasons for not catching fish...  But Im still signed up and will get my 4 species of fish, yep Ive finally learned how to catch those stinky BASS..a tough change from my favorite ROCKBASS..  Now can Lee, Borgie or Greatoutdoors learn how to catch a tougher trophy?  Or are they just too OLD to learn new tricks  :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

  Since the challenge is a singles competition will the contestants need a team name?  I would like to pick the General's team name for him.  Actually I got it from one of his recent posts. A NEW BATCH OF WINE!!    :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Well corny13,
Lee, Borgie, and myself have achieved the ability to catch trophy size Walleye, Pike, and Bass, and cannot lower ourselves to catching "Rock Bass!"  :banghead:
It'd be like asking us to catch the Flu, Diphtheria, Polio, a bad cold and many other things we have no desire to catch!  :taz: :taz: :taz:
For even suggesting this, I look forward to unmercifully thumping you in this year's Challenge!!  training-087

I've become immune to all those Rock Bass Diseases' over the years. The Rock Bass population on the lake I guide has slimmed down to a small population. As you can see by this video they are hard to find. You may also notice a few Zebra Mussels if you look hard!

I was thinking of ways to win that beloved Rock Bass Trophy and figured it out after much planning and research. If I put one rockey under my car tire and slowly Idle over it by accident I could stretch it out. Then measure it on the ruler. Then take a :Photography: :happy1:
