1 Gerry Zagorski - Good Karma for for being the Charter Master brings his odds down to 50:1. I had him as a dark horse last year - that horse is still running
2 MVP - his good deeds and Mensch Mentality certainly go a long way. However his togging skills and Eastcoast Pursuit of same make him a favorite 5:1
3 Hartattack - certified hack - Teaming with DALES
put a fork in him 75:1
4 Joey Dah Fish - Mr. High Maintenance talks the talk but still can't walk 49:1 (marginally better than the other Flying Zagorski)
5 Shrimpman Steve - hits his thumb while cracking Hermits; we'll need to hide the Hammer because it'll be used against him if we have to hear about him catching another Teen-ager 25:1
6 Stelios - newlywed with new-found vigor, always a Contender 10:1
7 Baccala - will be riding team-mate Sleeping Giant's coattails 25:1
8 Riverbassfishing - this "kid" can tog. Little known fact: is he really a kid? Compared to the Old Goats on this trip - he's still in diapers 5:1
9 Captnvinny - don't "no" Vinny - I ain't no LAB
he gets the same odds as the Field 50:1
10 Blackfish Bobby - homecourt advantage is negated by his constant tending to Thing 1 and Thing 2, however no Falafels this year will be his undoing 25:1
11 Toggytime - MVP talks him up. This factoid would normally be moot, but now as an official member of TEAM Wrecking Crew, he must have some cred 20:1
12 fin s guy Dropped out and now DTats is in - If TATS boards in the number 12 spot his odds are 50:1, if he boards when he should be boarding, as an alternate, his odds drop to 15:1
13 jig smith - did he pay ? Oh yea, FALCON paid. Too bad FALCON ain't togging 35:1
14 HDMarc - don't "no" HDM - I ain't no LAB
he gets the same odds as the Field 50:1
15 BottomBouncer13 - did he pay ? It's now 1-Dec - - Sea 'ya
16 darrenflynn - can he do it without Kaptain Kris - hell yea 10:1
17 D-ROD - did he pay ? It's now 1-Dec - - Sea 'ya
18 Dales529 - Blind Squirrel finds a Silver Eel 25:1 - he's my partner
19 Thing2 - youth is wasted on the young 25:1
20 Thing1 - see above 25:1
21 Reelron - White Chin with a big belly - Ron catches his lookalike and teams up with Will to grab 2-man team honors 5:1
22 Dollar Bill - does well on Private Boats but from what I saw on OE @ PUOSU V, hes' an also ran 25:1
23 jersey boy - don't "no" JB - I ain't no LAB
he gets the same odds as the Field 50:1
24 Hookset - don't "no" HS - I ain't no LAB
he gets the same odds as the Field 50:1
25 LeftyReeler - no bagels?, no chance 25:1
26 Foul Hook - don't "no" FH - I ain't no LAB
he gets the same odds as the Field 50:1
27 dfish28 - gets some Brownie Points for his frequent, helpful posts/reports 20:1
28 Kurtis B - Silent but Deadly, has had some successful warmup trips and backed 'em up with pix (afterall 1 pic = 1000 words, it would take Kurtis 2 years to speak 1000 words
) 10:1
29 Grateful Dad - we saw his skill level at this year's RFA trip. I could brown-nose Jeff to ensure future trips on his boat, but I gotta call it like LAB would even if I never get to be Jeff's bow-monkey again, 50:1
30 Boston Pete is out and now Quanman is in - If Quan boards in the number 30 spot his odds are 50:1, if he boards when he should be boarding, as an alternate, his odds drop to 49:1
31 PA Beer Guy - thanks for the Brewski's, burp, but with JJ Bitings on board - they'll just get lost in the sauce. Sort of like an ordinary Togger against the Elite, 35:1
32 M Rod - did he pay ? And he's supposed to run the supplemental pool ? It's now 1-Dec - - Sea 'ya
33 JMurr711 - the Philly Phanatic is energized by all the Trash Fish he collects and turns a few heads 20:1
34 Sportfishing - too many Miller Lattes for breakfast is his undoing 35:1
35 ReelNauti - thinks he's on the CockRobin and proves you can't catch Tog on an A47, 35:1
36 Mike Garone - would take him seriously if he didn't hold his rod upside-down when togging, and no - it's not even a Spiral 25:1
37 Krueger - NJ DEvils karma works well on this trip 15:1
38 Former PUOSU 1 winner Scotty - always a Contender, never a Pretender; but sticka Fork in him if he's wearing that Flyers hat 15:1
39 Former PUOSU 3 winner Rob B - don't "no" RB - I ain't no LAB
he should get the same odds as the Field, but as a former winner he gets some respect - NOT 35:1
40 Former PUOSU 4 winner LAB won this so only fitting to give it to his long time partner in crime Broken Bobber - I know we're all thrilled that you're joining us Tom and we're pulling for you. Can't make you the odds-on favorite though - in my eyes you're still a rookie on NJFishing trips
15:1
Having struggled thru these last 40 entries it makes me even more amazed at the brilliance, insight and camraderie that Mike brought to the table EVERYTIME I came in contact with him. I miss 'ya Mike and thank you for making me a better NJ fisherman and writer !!
