Here's mine:



I was told a clean desk is a sign of a sick mind so....

Despite what looks like lots of storage there is far more in my materials than what you see in the picture.

Those, I believe, are lake fish moved into the river to feed? perhaps that's why no 'beek'?

Not all 'big' white fish have the pointy nose. This is a big white fish:

Head on:


For some reason these are the only images I can find but we had some even larger. Some of the biggest river white fish I've ever seen, not often you estimate them in lbs instead of inches.

Was another fun event. I see my 3 tagged fish weren't put up as doubled, nor was Bryans? Asked if we should do the addition on our cards but was told it was done.
Not like we were a threat, lol.

The measuring of fish was a fiasco in our boat all but one ended up on the floor? The other thing I missed was the leader board at lunch, took away from the excitement some.

Great job by all the tops rods!

Very proud of our young lads!!!

Oh, and I forgot to add, humility is my strong point!
Seriously I think some take this with too mucho seriouso. My 'ego' can allow what some might consider 'failure'. I'm there to put my hand to solving the days puzzle and see if me and my partner do a good job. I'll talk big all and through it - because it's fun, or should be. We punk out at least there is somebody to rub it in on who can take it.

Pressure? lol
You think this is a pressure situation? I'm talking trash for fun - you guys actually take this so serious your afraid to say anything that might make you look bad.
Pussies.

I could care less if I win BUT I'm going to do my utmost to do so. See I/we don't search around and look for 'ringers' to fill my boat in case I tank. I know I can fish with whoever, have fun and still be a serious threat depending on conditions and luck of finding the fish.
