I have my nose into something that has not been reported anywhere that I can find.....
As soon as I can I will do a press release on this as it becomes general knowledge. Hopefully I will get the confirmation in time before anyone else announces this....
sorry for the tease...but I want to be sure........

something is brewing up here also but I too have not had anything confirmed. I did talk with a few guys last night at the weigh-in but not exactly sure if the rumor is true....End of the year stuff is always exciting!!!

Troy I can't wait to hear your news...
My news is solidified and we will be posting a press release after the MWC weigh in. An interview was secured and now only need to write the interview that has just conluded with the object of the story we will be breaking here.
As soon as I get 'er done, you'll know what the ramblings here are about! |

Location: Menominee MI, In Da UP Eh? | As is the nature of these things, we have been asked to hold the information until an unspecified future date. I am sorry for the snag, but we want to be first with the news, not report what may not be tot6ally correct or to prematurely post some info that will cause an undue amount of discord....
So, when the green light is given....... |

Location: Menominee MI, In Da UP Eh? | I do not have a definite time line on this, and something went down that makes the story we were going to break a maybe not at all type thing....
Rest assured as soon as we get clearance we will let you know. If the story doesn't come to pass it doesn't come to pass.
It is not in our nature to tease and then say "Uh, uh, uh!" The only reason the post was puit up was it was a done deal as my source told me and that we had to wait till a certain time on a certain day to report it.
We may be able to report it soon, but then maybe not. So, in order to not create problems, speculation or rumor we, and certainly not I, will say no more on the issue unless we get the green light.
It is our goal, and I know I speak for Steve, Zach, Troy and Dave (also Slamr over on Muskie First) when I say we do not want to report anything that is not true or mere speculation. Please let it go until such time that we report, or if it breaks elsewhere.
We are supposed to have an exclusive on this, but the way these things can go, who knows.... |

| If you dont want people to speculate, the prudent thing to do would be to delete this whole thread, and forget about it until you do have something to report.
Just makes sense. |

Then why say anything in the first place...
Besides, most of us don't tease all the easily - least of all by news of impending news on a web site... |

Location: Menominee MI, In Da UP Eh? | Howdy Brad and "a thought" !
I would gladly delete the whole thing, but felt I owed an explanation as to what was posted in the first entry of this thread. I figured I owed our friends here an explanation, not just a zipped post and no rhyme or reason to it's being gone.
When I made the post, it was told to me the exclusive story was a sure thing, a done deal. The press release that was written up was e mailed to Zach and set to go. I have an interview sitting here that was to follow up the post and be an exclusive fiorst here at Walleye First.
Then, the okay to put out the "scoop" was pulled and we were asked to sit on the story for a time.
Not wanting to put out something prematurely, or put out something that was to end up not correct would be even worse than what we discuss here.
I ask you to consider what if you were the topic of the release and had sent out word and gave an interview, then found out it was not a "done deal". Would you want us putting out a story saying you said or did something that wasn't true?
It is a fair assumption that you would want an accurate story, if any to be released.
I do admit now that we should have just sprung the story on our friends here and not done the teaser post. So if this story does pan out, we will just drop it in your laps and not tease to build interest.
We are not perfect, nor do I profess to be. But we all try to be honest and show a little integrity in our work here.
I hope this answers it for you. |

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Hey! Is this going to turn into twenty questions?
Maybe WalleyeFIRST should offer a minnow bucket to the person who comes closest to the truth........ if it materializes 
Now look waht you started Ralph!!!
Looks like we're going to have fun with this...................
I heard that WC and WF are merging. That's why Dave is over here now, getting it all worked out. ESPN has already given this joint venture their blessing and will be using all video produced by Troy. Zach and Steve will handle the fishing industry and Scott will venture into hunting........... not bad 'eh? |

That sounds like a winner as long as the manufacture bonuses go to the rig owners and they get 1st shot at the tourney entry. |

| I KNEW IT! "CRAPPIEFIRST" IS FINALLY HERE!!
or 36.02 lbs. - whichever wins me a bucket. |
|
| |
|
| Maybe that some well known pros are switching motors and staying with their boat line?
Or maybe that some guys will run any kind of boat if the deal is right and will be switching boat brands again the coming year, again? again? again? (this would not be counstued as actual news, of course).

| Actually, the big news is twofold.
First Elvis is alive and will be fishing the PWT next season. Second, Ralph is a closet bullhead pro.

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Stop the presses.....Stop the presses.....Stop the presses.....
The FLW has just announced that they will open the RCL to any boat and motor. That's great news according to walleye Pro's interviewed from around the country. With bonus money for having the right boat, motor, electronics, underwear, gum, candy bar, and sunglasses on board, the championship payout could reach 10 million dollars to the lucky angler. The bad news being reported is that without bonus money, first prize in this prestigious event totals just over $1.27
Irwin Jacobs is reported as saying: “shut up or put up”. This comment was made in reference to all the complaining made by other boat manufacturers in regards to the high payout in bonus money. Brunswick representatives could not be reached for comment. They were reported being seen bowling.
In response to this late breaking news, the PWT announced that they will be lowering the qualifications needed to enter their tournament series. Starting in 2005, any subscriber to In-Fisherman or the Walleye Insider is eligible to enter. Unsubstantiated reports indicate that the MWC is considering giving a $5000 bonus to anyone not catching a fish in their Championship event.
Stay tuned right here at WF for further late breaking news................
