Ok Rocket Scientists (and thank you for your imput Gerry Z AZZ).
Rule #1 NO EFFING BANANAS ON THE BOAT. PERIOD!
I got your money..........you can go antiquing with your wife for all I care. You can eat and drink yourself into a stupor but "no" I have a ZERO tolerance for STUPID drunks (I learned a sweet
flying bank sinker trick from Slow Scott).
You can fish or sleep. You can weigh in EVERY fish you catch, upgrading along the way. If you become a PITA doing this with 2# fish, see the
trick listed above.
If you catch a serious fish (as per The Polish Puller's ?), you have 2 options. Keep it alive in a tote to weigh at 3 whistles or weigh it and release immediately.
After 3 whistles, EVERYONE is allowed to weigh in a fish (unless you feel you've already weighed in your biggest fish, which has been recorded). EVERYONE'S fish's weight is recorded. The top 15 weights are invited to fish for the PUOSU Title on 12/16 on the Mimi. EVERYONE'S weight will be listed, IN ORDER. As one of the REAL fishermen (top 15) bails on the Mimi trip because they don't have the ballz to TELL their wife they are fishing again, the NEXT person on the list is invited. Last year we had 5-6 eunichs (spelling) bail on the Mimi trip so even though they didn't initially qualify, some hacks moved UP on the list and fished with the MEN.
And let me state this CLEARLY for the record. Last year I qualified in the top 15 on the Ocean Explorer then decimated the wanna-be's on the Mimi. IF (yeah, ok) I don't make the top 15, I will not qualify for the title. BUT, regardless of qualifying or not LAB will be fishing on the Mimi. To quote a famous movie "my charter, my rules"
I will be brutally honest at this point. I will be fishing in the port/stern corner. I may move from time to time but will return to that spot when we move. You MAY think since I moved and you went into that spot that you're entitled to begin the next drop in THAT spot. Sure you are. But the second you move your rod to re-tie your rig (because I openly cut it off and threw it overboard), I will move back into MY SPOT.
Another point I feel you might want to know. If you like a nice, quiet and relaxing fishing day...........try the bow. If you have thin skin...........try the starboard/forward side of the boat. I'm loud and obnoxious (so I've been told but my Mother loved me). Every time you swing and miss.........You'll hear it. Drop a nice fish and you might as put on a saddle because I'm riding you all day. But in defense.........I dish it out but can take it too. I'm not a good fisherman and haven't been out in forever so you can expect LAB to mess up. BE READY.
OH........also remember I will have a camera. God forbid you fall asleep..........you'll hope you never wake up. LMMFAO!!!
We'll have fun and catch some fish. Just most of you won't catch fish as well as I will, and you'll have to hear about it HERE.
