Thread: A New Era is arriving

Don't imagine he'd be real happy if someone was allowed to weigh-in late... He got there in plenty of time as did all but one boat... Yikess I hate it for you being in a no win situation... You did what you had to do(followed rules in place)

Very good point. Two other teams would have suffered.

Major I'm not calling you names. That part was a joke. I was just pointing out that many diehard fishermen quit early due to rain and two kids and their father tuffed it out. And since you chose to call me out, after I defended you, I must point out the fact; their was no misunderstanding that the lake manager at Arkabutla requires a permit. This was made crystal clear last year. I'm sure you remember the ranger sitting through our weigh-in taking notes. I'm sure you remember everyone wanting to tar and feather WB for not getting a permit and causing us to throw our alive fish back. I'm sure you remember my disdain for you sending our helpful member to do your job at Grenada. So no, I'm not buying this being surprised at needing a permit. Make no mistake, I call BS.
Again, sorry for the name calling, it was a joke. I have edited that comment out.

The right decision was made and WB understood, havent heard him gripe yet and feel that you wont him him gripe about it. Class act for sure but so is Yikes and W would most likely be the first one to tell so.

What difference do the kids make? Rees, you're an ignert gewber. The kids caught 6 of the 7 fesh. That's a known fact. How can ya punish these kids at a stewpit, basically meaningless fruit jar that paid, what 3 hunnert or so to win and prolly less than half of that fer 2nd? And over 2 or 5 minutes late, that would have never happened had the weigh in been held where most weigh ins happen at fj's. I now offeshually change my mind back to my original feelings. This is bs and you are ignert.

Wait just a dang minute!!!! Did you say something about lemonade Minnerman?

This entire decision was wrong when it was made, it is wrong right now and it will still be wrong in the morning After everything possible was done to screw this tournameny up. Then the decision was made to dq this team. Yeah boy, c.com is in the big leagues now. Guess we will have polygraphs at the next multi-million dollar tournament. This is beyond imagination. Oh but remember, dont be two minutes late for a weighin that you cant find but it is quite allright if you want to break the law and fish without a permit. All I have ever read on this sight was people talking about friends, comradery or( however the he#@ you spell it,)and good times. well this is not what my brochure advertised Now I gotta go take my blood pressure medicine.

This is why y'all have not seen me down there this year. This arguing started last year after WB decided to step down and it has not stopped yet. I have fished in the same boat with all 3 of the guys that are in the center of all this( WB, Major, and Yikess) and as far as I am concerned they are all stand up guys. Just my .02 and I am gone.

Well, Bye !
