| Hey Legend, first, I made a mistake...it's an AWARDS (plural) ceremony to
recognize some outstanding achievers...1st place, 2nd, third, etc.
Second...I can't possibly conceive of an award that you might win.
Just be there!

| Joe, Whats the procedure for the way boats will be leaving from
the dock is it going to be a free for all? are #'s going to be drawn
for starting positions? Just curious.

| Keeping this note on the serious side...If you are lacking oxygen
to the brain like Mr. Brophy.
There will be #'s drawn at the dock to determine who leaves first!
READ SLOWLY AND YOU'll GET IT!
We only discussed it 400 times in notes 424 + 440

| 477.6 | A Drawing - A Drawing - and a DRAWING? | AIMHI::TOMAS | Joe | Wed Sep 16 1987 17:26 | 24 |
| Sigh...
for once, the Legend is right.
Yes, we will be drawing for starting position. We will also be drawing for
the door prize.
R/O brought up an interesting thought...
WHAT IF...fishing is so lousy and EVERYONE gets their clocks cleaned?!?
Does everyone get his/her money back??
Naw...I don't like that. It's kinda like gambling in Las Vegas for a day
and "breaking even."
Just to cover all the bases...I propose we simply have another drawing.
But, then again....38 people can't totally get skunked...(can they?)
hmmmm....

| Now, now, now....ladies...
Let's just calm down a little and save your frustrations and anxieties for
Saturday. I know it's difficult, but try to exercise a little restraint.
Long range weather forecasts say that it will be cloudy and cool with some
chance of drizzle or rain. If that's the case, then we'll quickly find out
who the fair-weathered fairies are! (oops...was that a dirty??) In any
event, I'm not gonna let a little wetness dampen my spirits. I'll be
there... ready to show you all what bassin is all about and with just a
little fun (heh...heh) thrown in to liven things up.
And if you behave...I'll even "bless the fleet."

| 477.14 | C'mon saturday..{ | CGVAX2::HAGERTY | Jack Hagerty KI1X | Thu Sep 17 1987 09:39 | 13 |
| Joe - Mr Rick "Sky" King will be unable to attend - son is doing
Merrimack football, Rick selling dogs or somthing... Draw a line
through his name and pencil in Tom "Toots" Coots. (Another Brockton
wimp.)
For those that have or could have a CB/VHF aboard, we coulld exchange
"lines" while washing lures on saturday. Channel 11 on CB. Its
been interesting while doing salmon derbies etc. All you need is
a outlet jack, magmount Antenna and your all set.
Wished I had seen/fished this place before. Those that fished it before
have a slight advantage. Joe can you or anyone express how it compares
with Pawtuckawa with regards to under water rocks and other goodies.
well marked???
|
| 477.15 | | AIMHI::TOMAS | Joe | Thu Sep 17 1987 09:56 | 23 |
| Jack,
Sorry to hear that Rick can't make it. Tom's in.
There's really no way to compare Monomonac with Pawtuckaway as far as a bass
lake is concerned. Pawtuck is a far superior and much more productive lake.
It will take some real talent and expertise to catch bass at Monomonac. I
heard that an 8 pounder was caught there recently, but you'll have to work
for it! Given the weather forecast and Monomonac's reputation for being a
tough lake, anyone that catches bass deserves some credit. Remember, with
all the people fishing there in the spring tourney, only THREE bass were
weighed in!
As in most lakes, the water level is down quite a bit. There are both
channel markers AND rock markers on the lake. R/O has been out there a
couple of times already and he will fill us in on the situation at the
launch site.
BTW...if you want to spend your time "ratchet-jawing" on the "radidio" then
that's just fine by me. That's just one less line in the water!
OK, Good Buddy....10-4! Roger-dodger... I'm gone...

| 477.16 | | RAINBO::MACINTYRE | In search of the Largemouth Bass... | Thu Sep 17 1987 09:59 | 10 |
| You don't have to worry about rocks, especially out in the middle...
8^) - seriously, there's a huge rock pile in the middle of the
lake, we'll make sure everyone knows where it is before the start...
If the last two nights have been any sign of things to come for
this weekend, the fish should be turned on. Last night I caught
6-7 bass at the honeyhole, the night before I got 4... Maybe the
fall feed'n frenzy has begun at Monomonac as well... hope so..

| 477.17 | A seriuos question. | JOULE::SNOW | | Thu Sep 17 1987 10:26 | 16 |
|
I was on the lake two weeks ago, and the rock pile in the middle
of the lake is well marked. I also understand there is an area
around one of the islands near the marina that has a lot of stumps
just under the surface.
I have a serious novice fisherman type question. When I was there
I noticed the water had a definite weak coffee colored tinge to
it. Is this what I have heard referred to as "stained water"? And
if so, what does that mean to a fisherman?
Am really looking forward to my first tourney.
Dan
P.S. Can't wait to meet you guys face to face.
|
| 477.18 | | AIMHI::TOMAS | Joe | Thu Sep 17 1987 10:31 | 14 |
|
Heh...heh...
Hey, Dan...ask us about "stained water" AFTER the tourney. We'd be glad to
answer your questions then.
BTW...
It seems that since we can't "blast" in the notes, the VMS Message Router is
getting some h-e-a-v-y duty action between certain individuals. That's the
spirit guys...I LOVE IT!
-HSJ-

| 477.19 | | AIMHI::TOMAS | Joe | Thu Sep 17 1987 11:02 | 10 |
| One more thing...
Will some of you please try to bring smaller bills (i.e. $5 bills) so that I
don't have to break larger bills.
Also...there is normally a $3 launch fee at the ramp, however, they offer a
50% discount for tourneys. I will be happy to collect $1.50 from each team
to pay the launch fees...but again, please bring change.

tell you how to fish!!! I can't believe this. I know your looking
forward to meeting me...I want to meet you too....! I want to see
what you look like...Stained water....THIS IS GOING TO BE EASY!
I have no idea why your asking Tomas questions...He didn't catch
anything at the last one..He tried to steer the rest of us wrong
with some crap about worm...Dad(GOD) punished the mother!
Oh...And this clown with the CB...YOU GOT YOUR EARS ON.....good
listen up!
The only postive thing you've got going for you is COOTS! Another
Brockton BROTHER! Now you have a chance of beating the LEGEND!
As for the CB...I'd tell you what you can do wityh the antenna but
I promised to behave!
Pomeroy called me last night before I left...Just to say he was
sorry and that he respects the LEGEND...Sounds like A real bright
guy!! I thought I was talking to a # year old!

Please accept my most sincere apologies in advance for giving you the chance
to meet the VENOMous Legend. I hope we can be friends afterwards...

| Geez, the poor guy asks a legit question and just because a couple
bozo's (ooops a 4 letter word) don't know what stained water is
themselves they give the poor guy a hard time...
I don't know the exact skinny myself but......
The color-c-lector breaks down water into 3 categorys, clear, STAINED,
and muddy. The rule of thumb that they go by to determine what
type of water your fishing is to drop the probe down to you can't
see it - they then have a chart, if it goes out of sight at X feet
it's X clarity - now, do any of you gizmo junkies remember how the
scale breaks down exactly...
And Joe's right about one thing..... maybe we shouldn't have tightened
up so much in here... Joe's mailing some of us unfortunate souls his
terrible poems... The Legend is sending me X rated hate mail...
oh well... such is life...
Don Mac

Thanks for the input Don. Like you, I remember seeing this on one
of those cable fishing shows, but can't remember the break down
either. Those other guys (and yes I'm referring to you mr. l) must
not be too sure of their own fishing ability if they're afraid to
offer a pointer or two to a rank beginner.

| The way I see this legend FELLA, they better get him into the
FUNNY-FARM real soon. He seems to have these dreams of grandore.
The nut house is the place for him. He's living in a fantasy
world. And by the way, if anyone believes that the "THE BIG HAWG"
apologized to this poor accuse of an abortion, you just might have
to join him in the nut house. This guy really can't distinguish
a childhood fantasy form the real world. I must now dedicate a
song to this dreamer that can be heard on the Dr. Demento show
by Napoleon 13 th. It's call "THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY..."
and finishes off by saying "...HA,HA. TO THE FUNNY FARM, WHERE
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL ALL THE TIME..." This so called legend also
reminds me of the character of the WIZARD in THE WIZARD OF OZ.
He also thought that he was all powerful and all knowing. But
he was just another wimp in a FANTASY WORLD.
This legend make me want to sleep....zzzzzzzzzzzz !!!!!

drops it in, he just tells me what it says and I say "oh, ok"...
as matter of fact, the use of these may be a "noteworthy" topic
I know they were brought up way back in here somewhere, but the
actual use was never discussed (to my recollection) and I know there's
a few of us that have started using them (or at least bought them)

| Assuming that these Fishing notes are supposed to be informative
as well as humorous, here's a suggestion on fishing "stained" water:
try a 1/4 oz. chartreuse spinnerbait with tandem blades (either
copper blades or chartreuse blades and fish shallower. Grass beds
are good (if you can find 'em, or multiple obstructions like
stumpfields. Boat docks can also be good, and don't forget to try
"buzzin'". O.k., boo me!

rest of you BASSERS out there know what's going on, the legend
has officially BACKED DOWN to "THE BIG HAWG". He sent me a Vaxmail

Ahem, well I have been known to open mouth and insert both feet,
but I admit that I got too carried away this time. Sorry Gene, I'll
behave from now on.
Legend, I hope you got my mail.
From the sounds of the weather report I just heard, all we'll have
to do is keep the bilge pumps on and let the fish swim around in
the bottom of the boats.
See you guys Sat. a.m.

| Well...it looks like my and my partner's old nemesis is back to haunt us. In
case some of you don't know, for quite a while last year and right through
the winter, every time Chris and I went bassin or ice fishing...IT RAINED!!
Anyways...come rain or shine...the show will go on.
We've already had one team cancellation and a couple changes in partners.
If someone with a boat has a last minute partner cancellation, Mike Loewe
would love to fish this tourney as your partner. Following is a mail
message I got from him...
=========================================================================
From: ANT::MLOEWE "Mike Loewe, DTN 296-5980, LMO2/E06" 17-SEP-1987 16:28
To: AIMHI::TOMAS,MLOEWE
Subj: I know it's late but....
Hi Joe,
My name's Mike Loewe, we may have met at the last Monomonac gathering
early this spring since I fished that one.
I've been interested in the tournament, but I haven't been able to come
up with a partner, especially one with a boat/motor. I do have a canoe
with an electric trolling motor, but from the sound of what this gathering
is going to be, I don't think it's feasible to bring it. So, if there any
more cancellations or another individual with a boat looking for a partner,
please give me a call. I can be reached at DTN 296-5980 during days or
(617) 537-1366 evenings. I can keep myself available up to Saturday morning.
BTW I think << name deleted >> is going to fall flat on his face.
Mike
===========================================================================
OK....that's it for now. Be sure to bring your rain gear and plenty of
java!
later....

about whats going on in this file. I have a couple of questions...
Did the individual(s) that found some of the notes in poor taste
send any mail to the writers of the notes/replies? If not, dont
you think they should have extended the curtisy. If they did send
mail to the writers, then why dont they wake up!

R/O just stopped by to tell me he saw the Legend in the cafeteria stuffing
his face.
R/O said he was sitting with ALL his fishing buddies and formulating his
strategies for tomorrow. The only problem was, besides the Legend...
THE TABLE WAS EMPTY !!!

This is my last entry of the day. Gotta go run a bunch of errands like
buy gas...buy oil...buy spark plugs...buy fish...(oops, I didn't say that!)
I sure hope that the weather doesn't scare any of you off as I'll guarantee
a good time will be had DESPITE the weather!
One last thing...
I T A K E B R I B E S ! ! !
================================
Seeing as I'm bringing the scale, the more $$$ you give me, the heavier your
bass will weigh!
BRIBE AMOUNT SCALE READING OVER ACTUAL WEIGHT
------------ --------------------------------
$ 5.00 + 0.5 Lb.
$ 7.00 + 0.75
$10.00 + 1.00
$15.00 + 2.00
1/2 of the POT + 1 OZ (if that's all that's needed
to win 1st place)
Also, I will have available some special spray cans of "Bass Pattern" paint
for sale at $20.00 per can. Guaranteed to make a perch, sucker or even an
eel look like a bass! (Hey Ryan...if you use it on the Legend you'll have a
new WORLD'S RECORD!! Then you can take the money you win and GET HIM
STUFFED AND MOUNTED!!)
See ya'll there and GOOD LUCK (heh...heh...you'll need it!)

| Rich, what difference does it make. Let's not dwell on it. We
got a little out of control, but that's history................
It *is* possible to do a little ranking and still keep it clean.
For example, the Legend tells me that you couldn't catch a bass if
someone threw it at you. 8^)

| It seems that your partner has finally got his act together. He's
come to his senses and dumped the legend. Well, you just better
not chicken out and miss meeating the WINNERS, that is Jack "BASS"
Brickley and "THE BIG HAWG".

the last tourney results.
The number of fish caught was inversely proportioned to the amount
of notes/replys submitted.
The lavender duo...
Can we start after the "Legend"? Do you think that color would clash
with the lavender on the side of our boat?

I know HSJ and the legend will be letting my partner and I have
it but good when they get a chance, so I figured I better get my
$.02 worth in first. After about two and half hours of wet miserable
NOTHING!, my partner and I said ENOUGH and headed for home. Guess
that puts us in the BOYS catagory.
Hey legend, you sure weren't what I expected!!
It was good to finally get to put some faces to your names, and
I hope to get together again when it's more a case of fishing than
survival.

| 477.80 | NEW RESPECT FOR THE LEGEND! | VENTUR::BRICKLEY | | Mon Sep 21 1987 07:42 | 11 |
| Sorry we were late but it was worth the ride to meet the LEGEND
I now have formed a new respect for the LEGEND. Upon MY arrivial
the LEGEND went down on one knee to shake my hand. A true gentle
mans gesture. To bad he didnt get a chance to wet his line I would
have liked to fish against him. We left early due to getting wet
thru in about 2hrs. Hope to fish with you guys another time. Good
luck fishing, until next time:
JACK "BASS" BRICKLEY
P.S.
HAVING THE LEGEND BOW AND SHAKE MY HAND WAS WORTH THE LACK OF FISH!
|
| 477.81 | A HUMBLE GESTURE | VENTUR::POMEROY | | Mon Sep 21 1987 08:39 | 11 |
| I want to let the rest of you know. that not only did the LEGEND
get skunked but he never even made it out onto the lake. He and
Mr. BASS never even made it past the docks. Mr. LEGEND, I like
the way you got down on one knee and shook the hand of my partner.
And by the way, I remember reading a note that said if you got
skunked, that you would kiss Tomas's behind. When is this going
to happen. I would love to be present for that one. I'll talk
to you later.

| 477.82 | The Legend Will Return! | VENOM::WATERS | The Legend of the Lakes | Mon Sep 21 1987 09:03 | 30 |
| What can I say...I am still really bummed out about Saturday.
I felt like a rookie! There we were two hours into the tourney
and I never even got my line wet. We had trouble with the motor.
I was sitting there wishing someone would pinch me hoping it was
all a bad dream...I drove all the way to Ringe to hand over $15.00
and get soaked for nothing. We finally gave in and call it a day.
Mr.Brickley and his NOT TO SWIFT partner came in and tried to help
out with suggestions but nothing worked. I won't say anything bad
about Dan Snow leaving...After Saturday it is going to take me a
little time before I can say anything about anyone elses Lack of
fishing skills...I looked like a total Unpprepared ROOKIE on Saturday!
As for all the guys ..It was nice meeting all of you. We will
meet again...COUNT ON IT! For all you guys who couldn't make it...
Let me just say the THE WORM *IS* as stupid looking as he sounds!!
But atleast his motor started;-(!
I can't wait to find out who one. The Legend is DOWN...but in
no way OUT! I'll be back next year.
Dan Snow said he was surprized to see what I looked like...I'm use
to commits like that...I'm a handsome BASTARD!
A Sad Buckerroo!
Legend
I want to know who made the toilet paper holder! I have a good
idea who it is JOE! Sorry to ruin your plans after the tourney!\
I know something was UP! I'm sure I'll being seeing it in the mail!
|
| 477.83 | at least we had a nice day | RAINBO::MACINTYRE | In search of the Largemouth Bass... | Mon Sep 21 1987 10:03 | 11 |
| Wimps...
I believe that most of us stayed and fished the hole 8 hours.
I'm sure that Holeshot is preparing a lengthy note on the days events
but I'll put in a quickie and let everyone know that Bass'n Bob
and R/O cleaned all out clocks - weighing ~14lbs of bass, with a
6lb 2oz HAWG in there.... Hey Don Pardo, did you ever find your
trolling motor? (he was looking for a diving maskl last I heard!)
Don Mac
|
| 477.84 | What's the REAL story here??? | JOULE::SNOW | | Mon Sep 21 1987 11:02 | 9 |
|
Come on Joe, What's the real scoop? Don Mac, even if you were numb
enough to spend the whole day out there, do you really expect us
to believe that one team caught almost 5 times the total weight
that was weighed in at the first tourney??
Dan
|
| 477.85 | | MPGS::NEAL | | Mon Sep 21 1987 11:18 | 11 |
| Don Mac is right, You shouldnt have fagged out you wimps.
That was a good sized hawg.
What ever happend to the nightcrawler, did he slither away into
the darkness? You had to see these bozo's, it sure was fun to
watch them in action.
I think Joe has lockjaw, kinda like the way the fish treated him.
I could only smell skunk com'in from his live well.

|
| 477.88 | THE RESULTS ARE IN! | FEISTY::TOMAS | Joe | Mon Sep 21 1987 12:10 | 119 |
| OK folks...the results ARE IN!!
First, CONGRATULATIONS are in order for the the team of R/O Palmer and
Bassin' Bob Puishys for blowing the rest of us away! They weighed in a
whopping 13 Lbs 10 Ozs of meat, with 12 Lbs 2 Ozs by the noontime weigh-in!
And KUDOS to Bassin Bob for bringing a REAL HAWG to the scales...6 Lbs 2 Ozs!!
NICE GOING GUYS!!
Second Place team was the team of Jerry & Diana Weisback with a nice total
weight of 5 Lbs 12 Ozs. And who said women can't fish!! All I want to know
is if it was Diana that caught them!??
Third spot goes to Mike Loewe & Lou Hohos who fished from a CANOE!! They
had a total weight of 4 Lbs 13 Ozs. Give them a great big ATTABOY!!
Not far behind in 4th position was good Ole Lavender Jack Hagerty & Tom
Coots with a total of 3 Lbs 6 Ozs. Almost, Jack!
Tied for 5th position with the same weight were the teams of Ed Guertin &
Dave Stone and Rich Neal & his partner, Lindsay Allison. Ed did manage to
have a single bass weighing in at 2 Lbs 5 Ozs while Rich & Lindsay needed
two bass to equal Ed's big one. None-the-less, we have to give them credit
for weighing in bass!
And last, but certainly not least, 6th place awards went to Al Whitman &
Bart Lasky with a bass that tipped the scales at 1 Lb 4 Ozs. Nice going, Al
and Bart!
NOW...for the rest of us (including ME)...well....uh...mmmm....it was a
DonMac type of day!! Ahyuh.....BIG GOOSE-EGGS!! I'll add more commentary
in following replies, I want to get the results posted first.
Let me just say that the weather couldn't have been much worse short of a
Nor'easter (try to convince R/O and Bob of that, though!). The rain was
heavy at times and the wind literally howled...there were whitecaps on the
lake in the afternoon!! Trying to keep our boats positioned in the wind
certainly drained the elec. motor batteries!
OK..here's the results...

Congrats to all who stuck it out, and double congrats to the winners.
I was thinking of you guys while I was curled up on my warm couch
watching football. It only took two and 1/2 hours to convince my
partner and I that Saturday was not a day for novice fisherman to
be out. But we plan to keep trying, and who knows, someyear we may
actually catch something!!

HELL IS THE NIGHTCRAWLER" REPLY "yo", Joe had it right "YO-YO"
The wimp is quiet today!
|
| 477.92 | | FEISTY::TOMAS | Joe | Mon Sep 21 1987 12:35 | 66 |
| NOW I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE EXCUSES WERE!!
HEY LEGEND...
I've never seen a couple of REAL NOVICES or LANDLUBBERS like these two guys!
Talk about not being prepared! If it were me...I would have at least used
my electric motor and fished the cove for the day. I mean...you were
already there and had paid up so at least you could have TRIED!! SO it
seems that now we're gonna have to listen to his cockamamy excuses.
BTW, Legend...stop by and see me....I've got a couple of awards for you.
YO, NIGHTCRAWLER...
So you win the rod and reel and then slither away into oblivion, huh? It's
obvious that the competition was too much for you. Give that team a CHICKEN
AWARD!
To DON PARDO & THE STRIPER KING BROPHY...
It was real tough luck losing your electric motor overboard. I'm sure
everyone feels real bad about it. For those of you that thought you were
wet and cold....John stripped down to his skivvies and went diving in 20' of
water looking for his motor....but no luck! BUT...you can forget about us
setting up a DON PARDO RELIEF FUND!!
HEY BRICKLEY & POMEROY...
Where were you guys? What a couple of wimps! First they're late and don't
pay up...then they don't catch anything in the first couple of hours and
decide to pull out alltogether. WIMP-A-ROONIES PLUS!
DONMAC & BRIAN...
That's OK, guys....your performance was only to be expected. I knew it was
a waste of my time making that Certificate of Improvement! Oh well...
there's more tourneys next year for you to lose your money in, so don't feel
too bad.
ME & FLETCHER
I guess my only excuse was that I had to concentrate too much on running
this show....who's here...who's paid up...who didn't pay...weigh-ins...etc.
Despite the foul weather, I still had a good time and enjoyed meeting the
faces behind the names.
WHERE WAS RANGER RON & TBDW???
Hey guys....WHY DID YOU WIMP OUT??? Geez...I dunno 'bout you two.
BTW...if you're looking for an excuse...
I believe that everyone who got skunked forgot to use the LEGEND
HANDI-WIPE dispenser...myself included!

never made it past the docks. at least they made it to the
tourney. Also, if you guys still think your great BASS fishers
why don't you come to the tourney that Jack and the "BIG HAWG"
are running. This will weed out the BASSers from the Bastards.

I just wanted to write congratulations to Bob. That was one hell
of of Bass you caught 6 lbs 2 oz!! All in all I thought the turney
went well. The wheather was unbelievable cold, wet and windy all
day. The fishing at least for my team was sad at best, but at least
we had fish!!
Big Al thanks for teaming up with me, maybe next year will be the
year for the hawg.
Till next year,

| 477.97 | give back the door prize | HPSCAD::WHITMAN | Acid rain burns my BASS | Mon Sep 21 1987 13:45 | 17 |
|
I think if the WORM had any decency at all he would give the ROD & REEL he
won to back Diana Weisbach for two reasons:
1: her name was drawn first
(for those not present, there was some confusion at
the time of the drawing as to whether or not the
Weisbachs would get away from the dock due to boat
problems so she graciously withdrew her name from
the eligible entries in the interest in fairness)
2: she stayed all day and fished instead of taking off

| 477.98 | The "OFFICIAL" RULING | FEISTY::TOMAS | Joe | Mon Sep 21 1987 13:59 | 14 |
|
Before this gets out of hand, and as the "Tourney Coordinator," I do have to
say that when the name was drawn for the door-prize, Jerry & Diana had
already "officially" withdrawn and were refunded their tourney fees. It was
just too wet to go rummaging through all the names in the hat to remove
those that weren't fishing. Also, the agreement was that IF they were able
to get their boat started and were able to compete, they would pay me the fees at
the noontime lunch break, which they did. SO, Kyle DID win the door-prize
fair and square.
And Jerry & Diana ended up taking 2nd place despite their late start!

| This is going to kill me but I've got to back up Mr. Brickley and
His partner Pomeroy. They were concerned with paying there dues
and offered to give me the 20.00 that was owed so I could give it
to PaPa SMURF (Joe) on monday...But I suggested they find out who
won and then settle up with them cause if I gave the money to Joe
the winners would probally never see it! So don't be bad mouthing
my PALS...besides I wouldn't dish out any shit to Brickley..This
guy looks like BIGFOOT!
And to answer Joe's question...The troll motor was no match for
the wind and Chriss didn't bring his oars..I would have rowed out
there if he did! It was a case of being totally unprepared!
I SHALL RETURN!

Congrats to the winners...Hey Bass'in BOOB...When Are you going
to send up the money to keep quite about the NOT so EMPTY live well?!!

| 477.100 | AWARDS | FEISTY::TOMAS | Joe | Mon Sep 21 1987 15:01 | 62 |
| I just want you all to know that the Legend just stopped by to receive his
awards. For those of you not present for the awards ceremony, the Legend
was awarded the "PIGSTY AWARD" - "For showing us a bass boat that looks like
a cesspool", and the "CERTIFIED IDIOT AWARD" - which needs no further
explanation.
The Legend was SO PROUD that he was recognized with these awards and told me
that he would try his best to continue living up to them in the future.
In retrospect, I think one more award should be presented to Chris "Mr BASS"
Ryan...."THE WORST PREPARED AWARD"!!
There were three other awards that went to people that weren't at the Awards
Ceremony...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACK SEAT
DRIVER AWARD
Presented to
THE BACK DECK WIZARD
For outstanding whizzing from
the poop deck.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIG MOUTH
AWARD
Presented to
DON PARDO
For being a foul-mouthed baboon!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOOT IN MOUTH
AWARD
Presented to
Kyle "NIGHTCRAWLER" Wooldridge
For not knowing better after
stepping in
Legend
DUNG!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you gentlemen will kindly send me mail and let me know your mailstops,
I'll be happy to send you the awards you really deserve.

| Re.104
Boy Joe, your all heart! I knew I could count on someone
helping me out in here.
As far as another tourney goes I was thinking...If next year we
got together and go up to Winni for a week end Fri,Sat. and Sun.
The people who need a license could buy a 7 day one. We could camp
out and Have one hell'va time..Make the stakes real high and have
the tourney both Sat. and Sun till noon,leaving Friday for practice..
Thats for Bass'in BOOB's benefit!
Think of all the mud slinging I could do...Boy, by the end of the
day I would be afraid to close my eyes in the tent!
I will be more then willing to put it together with Joe. We could
make it for late May early June time frame!
Smallmouth Season....We have plenty of time to talk about it!
I have all kinds of camping equipment and a tent that will sleep
six comfortablly! I will only charge $30.00 a night for anyone
needing a place to sleep..I know its high but I feel is still a
better price than what the hotels in the area are charging!!!
SHOP AND COMPARE!
Although I can not guarantee your saftey...Be in my tent could be
life threatening!
Lets toss this thing around and see what people think....If it flies
and you want to book a bed at the LEGEND MOTEL...Please send CASH
to MK01-2/F35!!
The Legend is BACK!

|
The day of the tourney
Is now over and done
It rained like hell
But we all had fun!
For those of there
And those that stayed
Saw R/O and Bassin Bob
A big hawg they weighed.
They cleaned our clocks
They took it all
And from what I heard
They had a real ball.
Now quite a few showed
At the ramp that morning
But no one took heed
Of the Legend's warning.
For the Legend did fail
To even make a cast
As he and Mr Bass
Were using old gas.
Their motor was pulled
A thousand times and more
It barely even sputtered
While still tied to shore.
So they left us all
In the cold and rain
To drink some beers
Till they felt no pain.
Alas there were others
Who wimped out that day
Like Nightcrawler and Snow
They just couldn't stay.
They couldn't take it
Like true bassers at heart
They called it quits
What bunch of ole farts!
But the spirits of the rest
Remained mighty and high
Fighting the elements of nature
While trying to stay dry.
But a misfortune had struck
Don Pardo and his crew
Don's motor went overboard
And Don after it too.
He searched and he dragged
And he dove for an hour
He just couldn't find it
It wasn't in his power.
It was Don Pardo's misfortune
A stroke of bad luck
As he watched his motor
Sink into the muck.
But still there are others
I must let you know
Who showed up that day
And helped make the show.
We were all gathered
And I yelled real loud
"Where is the Nightcrawler?"
And a "YO" came from the crowd.
There was the Worm
As thin as a pole
Soon after he left us
He slithered to his hole.
But not until after
His boat went adrift
It was DonMac that helped him
He give him a lift.
Ah yes, DonMac
We can't forget him
Once again he went fishless
His future is quite dim.
Poor Don must be used
To being empty-handed
And going to these tourneys
Not a bass has he landed.
But cheer up, my friend
For your day will come
When you go to a weigh-in
And you'll finally have some.
So now I must finally
Bring this poem to a close
To let some others
Answer back with their prose.

pushing me...You won't be here, come spring!
I want to see how many would be interested. Then I'll go off and
find a nice camp ground right on the water so when we are all done
fishing for the day we can get right to some serious drinking and
ball busting. The hell with pulling the boats in and out of the
water! I'll set something up...I usually go up in the spring with
a few guiys anyways. But just think what it will be like with
30-40 of us all at the same camp ground....I won't even bother
sleeping!
It would be one hell'va TIME!

| LEGEND, sounds like a great idea. Count me in and probably 4 other

fish it each ice out and always manage to pick up bass as a bonus.

| Look you wimps. You fished probably the worst day in the last 90.
And Im thinking the next 30 days too. Another tourney in October
should not be out of the question. If you think Winni is a nice
lake in the spring, last saturday was nice. Ask me about steelhead
fishing in the Salmon River - in December. What do you say? DonMac?

right now that's it for the year - I could squeak in another...
My fishing is FAR from over, I'll be fish'n weekly until ice-in...
(then probably bi-weekly or monthly until ice out)
I don't think I'll have a free Saturday until Oct 31 - Oh my, that's
Halloween - If Joe runs it he'll have us all wearing costumes!!!! 8^)
I'd be up for another one sometime... anyone else up for it?

| Nope. Dont own a cowbow hat. See no reason why I wouldnt tho. You?
I had the grape/metallic (lavendar) bass boat. Did you see the shotgun
I had in the rod locker? This team also had the "Legend-busters"
stickers on our rain suits. Maybe you should hold up on purchasing
a good hat and invest in a rain suit. Notice how they worked real
nice.
Mr Coots (my partner told me to bring the gun, and then not to use
it after SEEING the LEGEND) and I will set up another one. We will
have to do it here since Im not going to have the time or energy
to register my boat in MA. Its also really too late to expect anyone
else to spend that $$ for - one weekend??
We will also keep an eye on the weather and
call it off if the weather looks anything close to what we saw last
saturday. So far the weekend/day will be saturday Oct 17.
Who can make it?? If enough show an interest, we will pick a place
either real good or real close to NH depending on who is going.
I had Pawtuckaway in mind - too far and could be drawn down - or
Messabesic (sp) in Auburn/Derry. (2 mins from junction of 101/93)
Joe you can relax, enjoy, but you better show.

| 477.126 | GO FOR IT, JACK! | FEISTY::TOMAS | Joe | Wed Sep 23 1987 18:05 | 18 |
| Thanx for jumpin in, Jack (a new name? "Jumpin Jack"??)
I was talking to R/O a little while ago and we came up with the same
choices, either Pawtuckaway or Massabesic (not Messabesic). I agree that
Pawtuckaway may already be on its way down as I recall a Park Ranger telling
me that they planned to start drawing it down around Columbus Day weekend.
Maybe a call to the Park Services might be in order to confirm.
I've already marked my calendar for Oct. 17th. I'LL BE THERE!!
And as far as the Legend is concerned....after 17 years of marriage (this
could be my lucky number, huh?)...when I tell the wife I want to go
fishing... I GO!! No two ways about it!
The only thing is...I try not to tell her too often....I value my life!

Sorry Jack...Your the one who has the boat that matches my daughters

winning the next one!
I'm not sure yet, but I could have something going on that weekend!

Obviously, the Legend is starting to smarten up a little and covering his
A** early with potential excuses for not going. He knows that neither DonMac
nor myself would ever consider having that perch-jerker as a partner...and for
that matter...no one else would either! At least no one in their right mind.
But then again, we've all seen some people that weren't in their right
minds... like Mr Bass...and the Worm...and Don Pardo...and a few others. So
who knows...maybe the Legend will manage to find someone dumb enough to
occupy the same boat with him. It will certainly make for some interesting
excuses like...
if his partner was Mr Bass:
"The motor STILL WONT'T START!"
if his partner was Don Pardo:
"The motor fell overboard!" (sorry, DP...I couldn't resist)
if his partner was the Worm:
"My partner forgot to put line on the reel he won!"
All I can say, Legend, is that if we do another....YOU BETTER BE THERE!

Hey Bob,how did you do in that tourney at Lake Cochituate
last weekend? I was disappointed with seeing the biggest
fish was only 3lbs. and I thought that was a PRO tourney.
I coulda done better fishing from shore with a dropline.
I heard some good pike stories though.

the rules - maybe changes from Joe's .0 listing on this one.
So far - quickly, its at Massabesic - still maybe not spelled right..
Start time 7:00, but thinking of ending at 1 PM. With one weigh-in
then. COMMENTS PLEASE. Thinking is someone maybe able to make
this day if its sorta 1/2 day. If the fishing is lousy, why prolong
the pain..
The 17th of October.
Ive read the "Legends" notes a couple of times. I cant figure out
if he is going, or planting seeds for an excuse to slither away..
One of the quirks at this lake is you cant get your feet, or anything
else, in the water. Its Manchesters water supply. Im bringing chest
waders and will help who ever forgot a pair of boots - unless your
capable of launching without getting wet!! They watch real close,
so dont even think you can get away with it.
So far.
Hags/Coots
Joe T and ???
Mike Vallincourt and ???
Legend and ???
who did I miss?? (Ill go back and read the notes again too.)

| I'll be able to go if its an early one! 7-1:00 sounds good!
The Legend DOES NOT slither from anyone or thing! You have me missed
up with the WORM..Does anyone know if this clown is still alive
or what?!
I'll be there...

| 477.142 | we're IN! | FEISTY::TOMAS | Joe | Tue Sep 29 1987 14:51 | 23 |
| Jack...
Count the team of HoleShot Joe and R/O Palmer in.
A couple of comments....
First, I propose that we do this tourney even if we just get a small
turnout. Competition is fun, regardless of how many show up.
Second, I suggest that we also have a sideline type of competition going...
one team vs another. Each man on the winning team gets to select one lure
of choice from the loser's tackle box!! Neat, huh?
OH...BTW...
I just got a call from our Cajun buddy down south, CoonAss Bob. He'll be in
MKO for the next couple of days for some training, so anyone who wants to
meet him, let me know. He'll be having dinner at my house tomorrow nite.
Unfortunately, his schedule doesn't permit him to get any time in enjoying
some of our fine Yankee bassin.

RE .134
Whoever ends up with the legend in this tourney better
be prepared to row because after the last tourney I don't
think the legend could handle anymore embarassment.
Had to bustem once more

If we want to meet C.A. bob, do we have to have dinner at your house?
nothin against Mrs.Tomas.
|
| 477.146 | | VENOM::WATERS | The Legend of the Lakes | Tue Sep 29 1987 16:53 | 11 |
| Sure! Why not! Everyone is invited to Joe Tomas' house tomorrow
night for dinner! Don't bring a thing, Joe will have a spread your
not going to believe.
Thanks , Joe
From all of us! Does your wife still have a highchair kicking around?
If not let me know and I'll bring all the equipment we'll need!
Do you mind if WE sleep over?

| 477.147 | | FEISTY::TOMAS | Joe | Tue Sep 29 1987 17:18 | 16 |
| Hey Legend....
Sure....c'mon over! The moment my wife gets a look at you, she'll grab the
nearest 2x4 and lay it right across YOUR FACE!!! THEN...I'll have to spend
the rest of the night trying to convince her that I DON'T GO FISHING WITH
BOZOS LIKE YOU!
As for the rest of you...I'm hoping the famous Coonass Bob will be able to
take a lunch break around noontime. So for those of you at MKO or who feel
the need to travel up north to meet Coonass, give me a call and we'll see
what we can do. But PLEASE...only one autograph per person!
Sorry...he couldn't bring Phideaux with him. Some sort of restrictions
about having a 12' alligator bag that was still alive.

| 477.148 | Best Wishes to CoonAss | PIGGY::VARLEY | | Wed Sep 30 1987 11:15 | 14 |
| Wish I knew CoonAss Bob was coming up sooner; I'd have invented
a bogus meeting in MKO (after all, why would anyone go to New Hampshire
for any legitimate reason ?) to meet him. My sister lives in Victoria
Texas, and tells some great Cajun stories (generally describing
them as "the defendant"), but no one tells 'em better 'n ole CoonAss
Bob himself.
By the way, do you know the 3 times in his life a Cajun sees a
priest ?
- when he's born, when he's married, and when he's executed.
Hope to catch CoonAss on the flip flop, and don't get him started
on LSU feetball...

| RE:.140
Jack, I may be able to attend but would probably want to fish
without a partner. How about if we leave it open and whoever shows
up puts in 10 bucks and biggest 5 fish wins all???
Winner takes all!!!

| Well, the Legend didn't heed my warnings very well about what my wife would
do if he showed up for dinner last nite and to meet Coonass Bob!
SO....if any of you see the Legend around next week with a BROKEN nose and
wearing a cast...you'll know that my wife is real handy with a 2x4!
