Dave - We were the Newbies in the league, just getting to fish against you was an honor:lol: - besides, we misread the rules and were only running two rods all year:D - hopefully with 9 rods we will be able to kick it up a notch!

Posted

Shane,

I was ridding the down rigger down 90' and catching them with my bare hands. You have no excuses.

Hope to see some new faces this year!

Thats not fair. They prolly just keeled over when they saw your ugly mug and were easy to catch. :eek:

Keep up the smack talk boys, We really want to grow the league this year to an average of 20 boats. so get the word out.

I really enjoy being able to have the fun poking with each other during this event. A win in league is not going to make you rich, it may pay for your gas. but it is what we can learn from each other at the end of the event by sharing information.

the way I look at it, I'm going to fish, why not get a chance to hang out with a few people at the end that share a common interest.

Right on Jon. Looking forward to this season. Thanks for managing it. Had a great time fishing w/ Motion Show last year on a few events. Hope to have my boat in a few of this years events. Gotta help Shane knock Dave off the top of that list.;)

Anyone want to make a year long 20 dollar bet for big fish at a WMFL event?

Rumor has it that Motion show has an unfair advantage, They will dress Marty up in a fish outfit and try to weigh him.

Posted

I'd have a hard time fitting in the basket at weigh-in.

We're not really all that worried about knocking Dave off. The 1 foot chop will be enough to scare him off most days :)

Posted

Terry,

We are going to do a trophy and maybe a prize pack depending on the sponsors.

Our plan is to take each boats top 3 for point totals.

We don't plan to take any extra moneys for this, again it's just for fun and bragin' rights.

Posted

A win will put money in your pocket if you win in a 14' row boat.

For the record, we left a laker bite at five fish in the first event ( also in a 14' row boat) to look for Brown's, not knowing it was weigh six. And that let Dave win the season title.

Posted

hey Jon it was fun to fish with ya last year out of Muskegon. Maybe able to fish Holland some this year as well. Keep up the great work. You guys are all fun to hang with and fish with!
