You've got some fine fish measuring skills HD. That pike I posted was just a tad over 23 inches. After I downloaded the two pictures onto the computer and saw all the glare I thought there was no way in hell anyone was going to be able to tell how big it was. Good job. Learned another picture taking trick, take it where there isn't so much sun.

Well Cody, I'm gonna try to bump the walleye up a bit, then fish for pike to lock up the Challenge!!!  training-087
I was just at the penthouse on top of the Challenge Tower, and noticed that the picture of Hillary in a bikini was gone.  :scratch:
Did you give it to Boar, or did his not so mini, "mini me", Boar Gersen steal it??  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

 :reporter;....
I've organized protests for Tuesdays & Fridays in front of your shop for the next 3 weeks. So far we have only 150 people signed up for the first protest. That's not to bad considering I only talked to 2 people in Ely. Good news travels fast in a small town.  :popcorn: I have to admit that I offered a bounty of 25 cent per person. Can you imagine :scratch: how many folks I could have recruited if I offered 30 cents per person. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Well Cody, you forced me to out you!  :coffee:
The picture you had on the wall of the Challenge Penthouse for the short time you lived there, said "To Cody, I had a great time!  Hillary!"  :happy1: :happy1: :happy1: :happy1: :happy1: :happy1: :happy1:
The other lady in a bikini had the same thing written on it, but I wouldn't embarrass you by telling the forum that it was Ruth Bader Ginsberg.  :puke: :puke: :puke:
Lucky for you we're pals!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lee and Borgie were just in Ely, shopping, and asking me for some fishing tips!  :coffee:
Borgie was begging me for an autograph so loudly, and wouldn't stop until Lee told her I had already gave him two, and he'd sell her one for $50!!!   :happy1:
As they drove out of the parking lot of the bait shop,  Borgie was hanging out of the window of the car yelling, "It was a great honor to have met you TGO, you are the greatest fisherman alive!!"  :bow: :bow:
And that's they way it happened, July 5th, 2016!!!!!!   :Clap: :Clap: :Clap:
OH YEAH, BABEE!!!   :dancinred: :dancinred: :dancinred:

I hate to admit it but I think Glenn is better at this picture taking thing than I am. First I screw up my northern pictures for the regular challenge, now I screw up the pictures for my rocky up grade in the rocky challenge. I had to post two pictures of the same fish and hope it gets accepted. I actually had to take 3 pictures. The first one the sun was to bright so you couldn't see the measurement on the stick so I moved the stick and the fish so I could block the sun with my body. Unfortunately I forgot to move the screwdriver for the second picture. So I reached over and moved the screwdriver but then I ended up not completely blocking the sum on the 3rd picture so you can't read the measurement again. At that point I decided I better get the fish back in the water. :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:

HD why don't you make a trip over to the Pond and upgrade that eye and bass and jump into first?  Wyofish hasn't posted a pike?  Did he fall asleep in Canada?

My sources told me a few months ago, that BORGIE had caught a 29 inch walleye on Basswood, and Lee suddenly enters one. :scratch:
Lee has three fish, and Borgie has none!  :happy1:
Borgie and Lee may have teamed up to try to win, but I cannot believe that Borgie allows Lee to take the credit!!   ;)
With this possibility, I'd be digging up his back yard if Borgie is nowhere to be found in the house or bingo hall.   :happybounce: :happybounce: :happybounce:

Very suspicious that Lee allegedly caught ALL THREE FISH, while the true fisherperson in the house, Borgie, hasn't entered any!!  :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:
Coincidences like this are normally reserved for Democrats, when their candidates pull out last minute election victories!   :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:
Now let's get Borgie's fish entered in the Challenge, just so we don't have to start calling you "HILLAR-LEE"!!!!  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

It's a said day :cry: indeed when the man at the top of the challenge leader board has a panic attack. You haven't even lost the challenge YET! But, already making advance excuses to use in your concession speech. It's time to break out da booze Jimbo. Your on a downward slide and Lee's just slidin in! .......

Jimmy couldn't satisfy his girlfriend last night. So, if you want to see what happened just click on the photos. "And now you'll know da rest of da story!"
