Week Nine - Rice Lake/Mississippi River - 9/5/201

It was a pretty typical night on one of our favorite places to fish. Some caught pretty big fish, while others struggled. There were even two Wallaye caught, so consider yourself lucky because that doesn't happen very often. The wind picked up with about an hour left on the clock. It didn't help or hurt me and netboy, cause I really suck at fishing and apparently netting too. So, because of that smart ass remark about my netting skills, netboy wil be fishing with rod that has been shoved up his ass.

It has really tightened up at the top of the leader board. Right now, Troy and Ryan are trailing team dickhead by only six points, but after throwing out the worst score of the year, team dickhead is up by 16, which is certainly easy to make up on a lake like the WF chain.

Sam and Brian were the big winners for the night. They not only won the event with 33 points, but won the big fish pot with a 30.75 inch pike. I think they shall be called team prick!

Since I'm writing this the day before we fish our last event on the WF chain, here is what's going to happen if the weather is bad tomorrow night. First of all, if there is lightening when we are scheduled to start fishing at 4:00, we will not fish. If there are high winds gusting to 25-30 mph, we will not fish. The make up date in case of inclement weather is the following Thursday, September 20th from 4:00-7:30. I will let you know by 2:00 pm if we're going to fish or not tomorrow night. If the 20th get's rained out, the season is over. The winning event money as well as the big fish pot, will go towards a party at Moonlight bay the night of the 20th. Let's hope we're fishing.

Week Eight - North fn Long - 8/29/2019

Before we get to the fishing part of the evening on North fn Long, I must address the protest brought in front of the group, which included said commissioner, regarding the name team asshole. The protest was brought by the team of Steve & Brandon. They felt slighted by the commissioner’s lack of understanding of what it takes to actually earn the aforementioned team name of asshole. Steve and Brandon stated that they have tried awful hard over the years to earn the name, which Sam immediately backed up as truth, and once they brought it up and the rest of us thought about it, we all agreed that they really are assholes and most definitely should have the name instead of the new guys. So, as an official act, the commissioner has deemed that Steve & Brandon shall be forever know as team asshole.

Since there is a new/old team asshole on the block, the question arises on what to do with the old/new team asshole? An immediate solution to the problem was proposed by Steve (asshole number one I believe). He suggested that they should be called team dickhead. Without really knowing it, he came up with the only name that makes sense. As I was thinking about this, I started down the alphabet. A for asshole, can’t use B for butthole because they are essentially the same thing, and since this blog is read by both sexes, we can’t use C for the word that shall never be mentioned in mixed company that ends in T, so that brings us to D and the word that is used much too often in mixed company “dickhead”. So Jason and Brett are now team dickhead, but I will not be going back and correcting the official record this year, so it is up to the reader to make the proper distinction hereto and hence from the beginning of 2019.

Speaking of team D, their ole aholes may start to pucker a little bit as the standings are tightening up at the top. They still have a fairly large lead when throwing out the worst nights, but with a show only performance on N fn Long, it doesn’t leave any room for error over the last two events. These last two are total wildcards when it comes to points. If you know the river and the WF chain, then you’ll be ok, but I’ve seen some big fish come out of the river especially, so time will tell. Speaking of time, the last two are four-hour events starting at 4:00, ending at 8:00.

First time winners this year for N fn Long with Troy and Ryan pulling off the win with 31 points. Big fish went to team Jack, and oh, his dad Sam, with a 28.75 inch pike.
