hahahahaha....I was just playing flippy...no reason to get you thong in a bunch.

I can't blame skeeterron for all of a sudden "having to work" and dropping out. I mean after seeing pairings like chuck and next level and me and jester I would drop too...lmao

just playin skeeter...that sucks that you have to work. I had to go through a scheduling nightmare to be able to fish this. see you at the next one hopefully.

O and sniper...make sure you shine those cabelas baits up real nice cause after they don't catch anything for you cabelas has a strict return policy... Very Happy

i brought this up to flippy and he said it was up to the field as i thought it would be as well so here it goes;

i have that compre still posted for sale and didnt know if you guys would have an interest in doing a big fish pool for that plus a cash price. basically how i explained it to flippy was say everyone (10 boats; 20 guys) did $5 a piece for big fish then thats $200 in winnings. if i was putting the rod up for the price then thats really not fair to who ever got it because A the rod is not worth $200 and B where would the rest of the money go to; so the thought was- i have it posted at $70 currently. either that $70 comes out of the pool and the winner gets the rod and the remaining money; OR i could drop another $20 off the rod and make it a rod plus a larger pot for the winner...... all im looking for currently is to make alittle back on a mistake buy at the last expo and doing something like this for the tournament works for me whether $50 or 70

if no one agrees; no one wants the rod; or no one cares about the posting then forget about it and we can either just fish the straight tournament or fish the tournament plus a big fish pool with a normal cash pool and i just end up winning it all anyways Laughing

so whatever you guys want; just thought to throw something into the start of the season and have fun with this one- make it work for everyone; your calls

and yes i do know theres flaws such as ppl not wanting to fish for big fish or me being a part of it and such;

speaking on me for instance. i wouldnt count for big fish; it would be all for you guys;

the other flaws can be figured out im sure

Hey Dgmon there you go, when you WIN you could buy it off yourself Laughing

Me personally i dont need another rod, But im sure somebody wants it. How do you have all this stuff, I see you posting stuff everywhere.

Haha. Nice-

alot of it is trial and error. Some is things to hold me over until something else is availble or cause there's a deal on something. Sometimes it's cause of what I'm doing at the time. Sometimes it's cause I think I can manage with it.

I love the rod and if it doesn't sell will keep it. The only reason I wanted to sell it was cause it's 6'6" vs 7'. Some guys like the shorter rods better. I honestly can't stand anything under 6'8"-6'10". It's a few inches but it's noticable and there's pros to a shorter rod like tight areas and under trees and such but I just never liked them. I sold off alot of baits and stuff because I bought up a bunch of shit last year and basically figured out what I liked and used most. Colors brands sizes. What was really needed on the tournament trails.
I fish as a co angler so currently I need to focus more on downsizing the crap I carry and what I can get out of each rod. I gave up my ds rod to justforfun last year because of the lack of use at the time and limits of what I could throw on it. Wish I didn't but it's all about what works and saving money in the end.

Though I've definatly spent enough of it throughout Rolling Eyes

regardless. I don't care what happens to the rod and this tournament. It was a thought and suggestion. Looking forward to starting the year off. Haven't been able to get out yet and everything has been hell so definatly due for a break and good time on the water.

I definently think a optional 5 dollar per person lunker pool would be cool.

I have no use for that rod...sorry.

Finally have everything spooled and am ready to go...short notice and alot of rods to spool with floro really hurts the bank account....lol Rolling Eyes
