Where in the World is Wilbur?

Someone mentioned that "Wilbur the Travelling Goat Trophy" should be held to the same Pinnacle of Achievement as the Stanley Cup Trophy, so in that spirit......lets see all the places that our beloved Wilbur will show up, through the years, as the trophy holder/s takes it on a journey to who knows where.

So let's start off with Wilbur's first winner Jeff (V Bottom ) as he took possesion

PERFECT!

I stopped down to Jeffs yesterday and he has Wilbur in a place of honor. I am a little worried, though. I tried to pick it up for a closer look and he made me put on the white gloves. Oh well, only 51 1/2 more weeks to go.

He can always put it on the line in the fall!

Jeff,

Feel free to get online at any time, and CROW about it............ :)

Something like this works GRRRREEEEAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTttttttttttttt


Hey SpartainNation, only 103 More Days, as CO-CHAMP, remember that day that Steve & I caught all those Crappie?

You could always break down, and just send or post a picture of it as well. When ever he gets all grumpy and not very cuddly Grandpa like, put the smack on him, and send a photo of you & Wilbur. :Rofl:Rofl

Well Wilber made it home safe and sound..he claimed a special spot at the house. Missing a tooth currently while it's out being engraved. Unfortunately he hasn't gotten out yet as I have had to pay for a long weekend of fun at camp by working thru early next week...Wilbur will be out and about soon. On a side note don't think I'm going to see grumpy grandpa any time soon..Jerry is still flying high on that little cutie...does being co-champ mean "my boat partner taught me how to catch em"???

Wilbur and I took a tour of the hometown of Portland for Father's day...Portland is situated on the intersection of the Grand River and the Looking Glass rivers. Amazingly we even ran into another MCDC member in town at the local grocery store...well at least his truck..Wilbur and I wanted to wish all you Father's a great day.Attachment 307125Attachment 307126Attachment 307127

Dang, Jeff, if I knew you were going to take a picture, I would have taken the tools out and cleaned up the truck. I'm so embarrassed. :o

Nice to see Wilbur getting out and about!

It think it is more fun to plan where YOU would take the trophy, than actually gloating about winning it!

Jeff, I shipped Wilbur's plate out to you this morning

Happy 4th everyone. Be safe.Attachment 309120

​Happy 4th of July!

Wilbur is on fire! Glad you got the plate back and installed

Wilbur took a ride on the Grand river today. We went from Weber dam to just short of the Portland dam. Fishing was tough. Man it was a hot one with little wind. Michelle managed to hook a nice perch....we didn't fish too hard. It was pretty much just a nice boat ride as moving was the only way to keep from melting. Hope everyone else is staying cool and enjoying their holiday.Attachment 309156Attachment 309157

I was just thinking this February when you’re ice fishing with Michelle and it’s really cold out.....to use this super hot out picture in contrast with a blizzard cold and she’s all bundled up!

You might want to put a little hat and scarf on Wilbur too! [emoji23]

Are you referering to Jeff or Wilbur? :dono

The word on the street is that Wilbur will be out and about this week. Keep your eyes open, you never know where that crazy goat will pop up.

Wilbur hasn't been out for a while. He's heading for Louisiana tonight so plan on seeing more of him soon.

About time Wilbur got out.....

Wilbert is Louisiana bound..got out to stretch his legs at Grizzly Jigs in Caruthersville Missouri. Nice sporting goods store with the pan fisherman in mind. Guy could go broke with the plastics and long rod selections they have.

Well. Wilber watched Steve's video salt water fishing..he's been bugging me since. Couldn't leave him home when Michelle and I were headed down anyway.... Attachment 337483

Wilber got his first taste of fishing salt today....salt air isn't good for his complexion and he's not fond of the sunscreen but he braved the wind and had a good day..caught a lot of fish when the wind finally laid down for a few hours. Spanish mackerel and spotted sea trout were the catch of the day. Attachment 337654
