Jimzee

Thanks for posting, great idea.

lol ;D

I spoke to the TD this evening on the phone. I guess he made the announcement just right before takeoff. The problem was another tournament taking off at the time with about 20 boats in it. I guess I need to get my hearing checked. Ended up being three tourneys on the lake that day, probably close to 90 boats. All is good now, thanks for the support but it was ultimately my fault, not the TD's. It would be safe to say I will not be late for another one, even if I have to ask him 10 times before takeoff when the tournament ends.

I guess this was the reason for the mix-up. Apparently, A.J., myself, and two other people in a boat did not hear this announcement of the time change. I don't have a clue when he made this announcement but apparently he did at some point. Whatever, no big deal, we're thirteen points out of the lead with eight tournaments to go until the championship. Plenty of time to make up ground.

How would the "local boys" know that they were getting their butts kicked by a couple of guys in a tin boat if ya'll didn't even get a chance to weigh in? Have you fished with this group before and whipped them? We have won three of the last five tourneys. Just a small club, no big deal. I just wanted credit for the points. They have a championship at the end of the year based on the point total. I guess it's pretty common for small clubs to do this. What sucks the most is driving over 400 miles, buying an out of state license, paying for the tournament, and then getting nothing to show for it but a DQ. The more I think about it, the madder I get. > d**n you Burley for starting this!!!

To clarify this story, this is what happened to Pitchinkid and myself today. Kind of ruined my thoughts on tournament fishing all together. Long story short, my tournament career is now over. Is this the way things normally get handled when the local boys start taking an ass kicking from a couple guys in a tin boat? Sorry Bastages!! > BTW, we wouldn't have won, but would have probably finished in money. We will never know because the fish wasn't weighed on the certified scale.

You ain't right. ;D

I could have swore it said it was in HD at my house. It looked like it too. Decent show, but no King of the Hill.

Just saw this thread. Congrats on the win man. Pretty big check too!!

It just went from creepy to very creepy.

Just pull them out with your fingers when they get long enough. One of my college professors told me he knew a guy that died from pulling his nose hairs out. He got some kind of infected hair that eventually moved to his brain. Live dangerously, pull em' out!!! ;D LOL at the cigarette lighter method!!

I'm still laughing that there is such a thing. ;D

Go ahead and keep thinking that. :

Where's Tin? That lady has some nice coloration, shiny too.

That bass had one thing in mind, kill that bluegill getting ready to raid her nest. Great looking fish Wayne, very healthy looking.

Great photos, that lake looks great too.

I want to see your grill in the next video. ;D Nice video bud.

You just peaked my curiosity.

Awesome ;D

It looks like someone bred a Dynagone with a Chigger Craw. ;D

That fish, even though spawned out, still looks in great shape. Way to go Paul, once again!!

Smacking cranks on the water to remove weeds is probably going to be the demise of any crank, especially balsa cranks. I have broke a few off bridge pilings, totally my fault.

thanks Big O. Next time you talk to Jimzee, ask him what the 5.7 was caught on, lol im sure you will enjoy it. The Anaconda was responsible for that kicker fish this past weekend. That thing is fast becoming my favorite worm to throw. The funny thing is, I haven't thrown a worm hardly any for the past two years, mostly jigs. I was at Dick's in early February, saw them, and decided to try them sometime this year. The past two outings I have used them and they have caught some quality fish.
