Location: Menasha, WI | I read elsewhere that the League schedule will be released next week. I hope it comes out soon so I can make a decision about whether to fish the League or the Bago tour event. |

| I'm retired from Tournaments. Me coming back? Just a rumor. It's all BS.
But something is bound to happen next February when the entry opens up.
Kevin, good to hear from you. I still have the Tuffy 1890. For now. Got a 52 1/2" muskie a week ago! That was fun!

That just seems funny too me. |

| You don't follow the Packers or football, do you?
The IRS doesn't consider it a hobby. Does one have to only fish tournaments for it not to be a hobby? What is a hobby to some, may not be to others. What makes it a hooby in your opinion?

I did not reelize it was joke. I thought you wear seriuos. I get it now you are the Brett Favre of fishing.

| hehehe Stacker, you kill me.
To tell the truth, I don't have any idea what I am going to do next year. The only tournament I am planning on fishing is the Fox River Classic with Zach. I may or may not sell the boat and may or may not buy a new boat. If I find a 1973 Z28 for the right price, I might just chuck it all, and do that. Only time will tell. |

| Personal gain hahahahahahahahaha now thats FUNNY? Who is in first place out east hehehe? Kudos to him if he found a way to do what he loves and by turning down the endorsements! Shep when you find that car make sure it has a hitch! Those big skis are priceless!

| I think it is a hooby when the IRS says it is a hooby. I believe that you have to make a profit at it eventually. It can not be a write off year after year. You have to retire I mean quit if you do not show a profit after 3 years.

Not true. You don't have to quit if you don't show a profit after three years. You just can't continue to write off expenses that exceed your income.
You really seem to have a problem with my retirement. You gonna miss me that much? |

Location: Oshkosh, Wisconsin | What?!!??! Shep has retired?!? No teary eyed fair well? No talk about how much you'll miss the dock and the fans? Where was the 4 hour "Tribute to Shep" on ESPN? YOU CAN'T PULL THAT ONE ON US SHEP. Do the right thing - tell the media you have a problem with alcohol or pain killers, take a vacation with the family, and then come back and ride the wave of fresh media coverage to a new fat endorsement - hold out for something really cool like a pack of jigs or a few of those new rapala cranks. |

Location: Appleton wi | There is alot of misconception about writing off expenses for tournament fishing. There is no IRA fed or state law that gives a time limit on showing profilts for any business but before or after 5 your number maybe called by the IRS and you could get audited then the fun begins so if you wanna drag yourself through that and your family you better make sure you have good record keeping and good explantion! Do Not mention that it is a hobby because you will owe owe owe! One other note my reliable source tells me if your a licensed guide and fish tournys and do aleast one guide trip a year you would be alot safer than not! |
