Now I'm REALLY depressed...my offer to use one of my tog setups has been refused...I set it all up last nite, 20' of brand new 50lb top shot tied to the braid with a beautiful slim beauty knot and a hand crafted SNAFU rig tied in with care. All you needed was a sinker.

THEN, I have to read the comments from the PEANUT gallery about my GAME FACE??? When I step foot on a headboat for tog there is nothing BUT a game face. I fish the starboard BOW with my length of graphite and a hunk of lead and a hook, tied to some line thats connected to a multiplying device.

And to top it all off...SCOTTY is coming.. Scott...please wear your green jacket and your flyers hat. I miss them And PLEASE don't cast into the anchor rope while I'm fishing the bow.

Just for some entertainment, I'm gonna bring a copy of my colonoscopy movie for everyones viewing pleasure.

I'm trying to collect ALL the colors, then ALWAYS fish next to you...and I'm gonna let the bearings rust so they are nice and loud.

Thanks the offers guys... Gonna take Rat up on his set up...

1) I have a picture in my mind of the Mick Razz tog skin pole going over board and me coming home with a busted nose.
2) Labs south paw Avet would take way too much getting used to.

I offered.........my thought process was YOU SAID you held your rod LIKE a lefty does....then you shift it to reel. I was just trying to save you the switch-over step??? But I understand............reeling up all day to put bait on (after your bait gets stolen) or to ask the mate to re-tie you up (breaking off on the bottom) could be a challenge left-handed.

We'll wait and see but I'm leaning to asking The Captain to fish us GSN (if the weather is do-able). Just about the right time of the year. Other options are SGR or K. We'll see Saturday.

Was just out to "the stable" and my thoroughbred is ready to go!

Mick and Mike - No offense meant and I really appreciate the thought and gesture.

Mick - Truth be told I would love to fish wit dat pole but I can't trust myself. Well, maybe if I tie it off with a lanyard. If you bring it and the chips are down, I may need it as my go to pole.... Increased Mojo you know...And, pay no attention to the Peanut Gallery Mick, they're just haters

LAB - You talk a lot of smack but I gotta tell you... Your bark ain't as bad as your bite.... Only a true sportsmen would offer up an outfit to his opponent and I'm sure you'll be so busy making sure everyone else is having a good time that you'll be at a disadvantge. Here's to hoping your one Lab Limit is the right one. Best of luck Mike. You'll need it

Let the games begin and the smack continue to flow..... Win or loose, it's all good and in good fun. The challenge just makes it more interesting and I'm sure the aftermath is going to be "EPIC"

Don't go getting soft on me Big Guy

I'll cut your heart out to catch a bigger fish than you.

HONESTLY........ONE TIME......try a lefthanded reel. 90% of fishermen fish "left handed" and switch it over to reel right handed; LIKE YOU.

I grew up spinning reel and reeled left handed. Started right handed with baitcasters and didn't feel comfortable.

There are going to be MANY very good tog fishermen on this trip.........the odds to catch the MOST will fall to THEM. Waiting out the "right bite" may fall to them too. But with 40+ fishermen...........there's a good chance a neophyte can drop their crab in front of Mr Pool Fish and take the title.

Just PRAY it ain't ME.........you "no" I ain't modest

I've tried to mind my business, and I still get dragged in

LAB, shrimp DON"T attract doggies. I'll prove it to you when I jump in next to you with a shrimp cocktail

Modesty ain't one of your strong suits Mike but playin around sure is... It's all good and I look forward to the challenge and aftermath. Either way it should be fun and get us through the winter...

BTW... I'm going on vacation starting 1/20 - when ever out bet runs out.... Shrimpy is going to fullfill my posting obligations to you should you win

[Life's A Beach]

Just when I think I'm out.........they DRAG me back in


spent the afternoon tying rigs (yes Shrimp.......I use more than ONE hook).

put fresh top shot on my reels

filled the bag with 2oz bucktails (yellow/orange combo) and 4oz bank sinkers

Got a couple big coolers to hold the White Gold (you're an imbecile if you don't think I'll be culling out 3 or 4 dozen SPECIAL ones in a bag for me)

Can't wait for Saturday

Been talking to Captain Jeff. His other boat (Angler, you mighta heard of it) got a 13# today @ 17 but I'm really thinking GSN; if possible. ALWAYS had good trips down there in January.
