| Rich,
I'm by myself all weekend... you can fish with me, but I only want to keep first prize... you can have second prize, I'm not into that stuff!!
Maybe we could make this like an Olympic event, the Biathlon, Crawlering first and then fishing only with the crawlers you caught with one hand tied behind your back.
Just remember... MY LAWN IF OFF LIMITS UNLESS YOU WEAR GOLF SHOES WITH SPIKES!
PS... since I never get to fish Tournaments... is it ok if I run to Ganoes and pickup 6 fish and hide them in my livewell till weigh in? Just wondering how the rules will work?

| Purple skeeter, it seems to me that if you enter a tournament of this stature that you must obey the laws, and once again your organization is always trying to twist and turn things around. Here at the MWLA we do things by the book. We believe in honesty and truth, unlike the NCA, which you are the Vice-President of.
I would think that the 2nd prize in this tourney is one to treasure. Just think, as of right now, you get to see Shep, Rich S, Axle, and several other well known anglers. I just would like to know how these anglers plan on showing off their sponsorships during the 2nd place photo. Any thoughts? |

Stakes are too high for me. The last time a photo of this nature circulated around it became very ugly. And seeing who has signed up, I can see it getting uglier. |

| This is an upper lakes tourney. No fishing east of the west side of the 41 bridge.
Take off is at the Other Place in Winneconne. A Bloody Mary is included in the entry fee.

| We need to clarify the tournament rules and post a list of contestants by friday otherwise Denny will get all up in arms about "not having a list of anglers posted by the start of the event." jk... Denny
I guess it comes down to a vote by Majority...
A. Upper lakes only. Launch at the Other place (submitted by Shep)
B. Calumet Co Park. (submitted by Cranky)
C. Chicked to be included at all events (M_Komo) we all knew it was coming.
We'll need times and a way to weigh or measure the bounty. Contest limited to anyone in the lower 48 states. Must be present to fish and win... or something like that. And I'll need to find a co-angler... no experience or equipment necessary...
Event to be nanes after winner!

| I vote that the weigh scale only go to the first decimal place. I'm tired of losing money by .0? of an ounce. First Rich and I missed 3rd in the MWS this Spring by .02 and then my Dad and I missed big fish on Sunday in Merc by .03. Am I having a lucky year or what!? Four weeks in a row of tournaments, why not make it a fifth. I'll have to check with the wife though, I think she has a pretty big honey do list for me to work on this weekend.
By the way, I vote for everything West of the railroad bridge in Oshkosh. |

| PS, I'll be your Huckleberry....er, co-angler. Or you can be mine.
I want to kick Rich's butt. Oh, wait. I beat him at the FLW League event! FIrst time for everything, as they say.
Who are they, anyway? |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | United dodge ball rules require the listing of all contestants prior to the event. I believe this rule needs to be accepted and adhered to for this event. |

Location: Berlin | Just got back from a total body hair wax and tanning. Gotta look good for the picture.
Shep, I am amazed you were able to beat 6 lbs in the FLW. First time for everything.
For the tournament, I don't need a boat just someone to drop me off at my spot and pick me up. I can stand and slip bobber all day. |

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Man Shep ............ you had me thinking all morning (sorry to change the subject)
"I'll be your huckleberry": Doc Holliday to Wyatt Earp in Tombstone. It was the WAY he said it. Great flick!!! |

| Also, it was Doc to Johnny Ringo, one of the hired guns of the Clanton gang. I think he said it twice in the movie.
Val Kilmer played Doc Holiday pretty good in Tombstone. That was the better one, with Kurt Russell.
Here, it's used again in a Tobey Keith song.
"Baby I’ll be your Huckleberry, you don’t have to double dare me
If the ride gets wild and scary count on me to be right there
You’re so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries
We’ll grow up and we’ll get married
I’m gonna be your Huckleberry"
I liked the movie better than the song.

Location: Rhinelander | yep, Doc Holiday was the one who said that to Ringo. I've seen that movie too many times, that's a certainty.
I'm glad I can't hear Shep singing that song..... |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | OK Who evers entering can forward to me, direct, postmarked no later than 9:27PM on the 12th of june, dead presidents only, in the sum of 500.00 u.s. dollars only. There will be a late fee starting at 9:28pm the 12th of 1 case of cold ones for the rules meeting. Your name will be listed with the rest of the clan by 9:27PM on friday the 15th for the event. Late members will not be listed as they will not be eligible to win anyhow.
As far as Rich waxing, Hmmmmm..... back row for YOU!!
All rules will be decided friday at the rules meeting at the other place. After 6 cold ones this will really be interesting.
P.S. The official scale for the event will be the K-Mart De-Liar in Black. If your tape measure says the fish is 15" it will be good enough for the weigh master. |

Location: Berlin | I will even throw in the used wax strips for the guy that takes 3rd! As an added bonus, Starz is sponsoring this and is adding $10,000. To make it fair, they are having one of their girls go with every boat to make sure everything is on the "up and up". |

Location: Berlin | As far as the scale goes, we should have Denny lay on a bed of nails and we will lay our baskets of fish on top of him. Whoever makes him bleed the most wins. Maybe we can also allow one carp per team. |
