PLEASE READ - Official Holiday Christmas Carol Contest

Skeetbum had an idea for a Christmas Carol Contest, and I'm saying, OK Let's do it.

The contest has two parts: You can Submit a Video or you can write a Christmas Carol.

Here's the original post from Skeetbum as an FYI: http://www.crappie.com/crappie/conte...y-contest.html

Here's the quote from Skeetbum's post if so you don't really have to go to that thread about the rules/guide for the video:
"I had an idea for a new contest to run up to Christmas, or thereabouts. CDC members in the boat, on the dock, on the ice, or wherever you fish, singing a Christmas Carol. There must be a CDC logo or sign visible, and extra consideration for a live fish in the pic, and more yet if it's caught on video. This could be a whole lot of fun, even if we have to turn the volume down now and then."


And I added to that: you can also write a Crappie.com Christmas Carol. A little something about Christmas in it, and a little mentioning of crappie.com, or just plain crappie fishing. Those are the rules, the Christmas carol has to obviously have a Christmas theme to it, and it also has to mention something about Crappie fishing and/or Crappie.com.


Post your Christmas Carols here, or your You Tube Video Links here. Prizes will be announced later, they will be some of the usual prizes if you've followed any of the recent contests (usually stuff from our sponsors, BnM, Blakemore, Strike King, Bobby Garland, Lindy, G3 - I'll have to see what I have left), but I will get pics of the prizes published soon.


The contest will run through mid January so that you all have a little time after the holidays to edit videos and such.

Happy Holidays

Dashing through the snow
in a 2 man crappie boat
o'er the water we go
laughing all the way
bells on depth finders ring
making spirits bright
what fun it is to laugh and fish
with crappie.com tonight

oh,jingle bells,jingle bells
jingle all the way
oh, what fun it is to ride
in a 2 man crappie boat
jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way on what fun it is to ride
in a 2 man crappie boat

A day or 2 ago
I thought I'd take a ride
and soon my lovely wife
was seated by my side
the gas was lean and rank
misfortune seemed its lot
we got into a great big wave
and then we got upsot

oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to fish
with crappie.com any day

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. I hope the new year brings many bent rods and live wells full of crappie!!!

Jingling Jigs ( to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Splashing through the waves
in a SeaArk boat we go
pulling crankbaits too
laughing ho ho ho
catching crappie fast
don't know how long it will last
singing jingling jigs filling up live wells

Oh jingleing jigs, jingleing jigs
jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to longline and troll

I joined Crappie.com to have fun and fish
I met a lot of good fishermen
to add to my list
rod holders, trolling motors, long poles all add up fast
I have bought so much and got so much
I have run out of cash

Oh jingleing jigs jingleing jigs
jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is at Crappie.com today



Ho Ho Ho have a Merry Crappie Christmas

I just got home and read it so far and I'm impressed guys. It's fun already.

Christmas is the time of year
When crappie dot com members share their cheer.
They talk about their baits and jigs
And even show their boats and rigs.
We wish each other all the best
And no one here puts down the rest.
God blessed ol Slab to do his best
And man he surely passed his test
I thank you guys from C.D.C.
For sharing all this wealth with me.

God bless you all and have a Happy Holiday season.

The proceeds from the sell of this song will go to buy OSS a new snowmobile suit. Your patronage will be appreciated, thank you.

I think this one is appropriate for most of us.....well, OK, just me. But still.

Silent bite, holy cow
Not a fish in any sight

Round yon corner minner and jig
how come my catch is so light?

If I catch one I'll go wild
My post about it won't be mild.

Just one fish for Pete's sake!

Wannabe...

A Crappie.com Christmas Carol
(sung to silent night) written by Michael C Carter. 11-30-11

silent night, cloudy night
Wife's asleep
Fish are deep
There are crappies
Big and small
Going to get one
To put on my wall
Get the boat in the water
Get the boat in there now.

Silent night, cloudy night
Thanks to mom
And Crappie.com
Got myself
A keeper
All I did
Was fish deeper
Take the boat from the water
Take it home right now

Silent night, cloudy night
Clean the fish
Make a wish
In the corner
I see my wife
She is happy
There is no strife
Peace and joy to you all
Peace and joy to you all

Merry Christmas Everybody

Oooops

The second verse has a typo. The corrected word is in bold letters.

Silent night, cloudy night
Thanks to mom
And Crappie.com
Got myself
A keeper
All I did
Was fish deeper
Take the boat from the water
Take it home right now

The Title is................

"THE FISHERMAN'S CHRISTMAS SONG"


See.......it's on your mind now. I hope you like it.
