1506.0. "UPI Marlboro--- BIGBIRD wins at WEBSTER" by SOFBA2::SULLIVAN () Wed Oct 17 1990 16:22

    
    
      What a day of fishing last Sunday at the Federation's Webster 
    Lake Benfit tourney. 62 boats showed up and alot of fish were caught.
    I'm standing in line to weigh-in Walter Surrette's and my catch and
    I look behind me and there's BIGBIRD (Bruce Judson) With a BIG bag
    of fish. 
      Let me tell you Bigbird and his partner Joe ran away with the tourney
    culling 7 keepers for a total weight in excess of 16lbs !!!
    
      Congrats on the win BRUCE!!!
    
      I however made a protest that almost overturned thier victory. I
    recall it being illegal to have more than 100 years of combined 
    experience in the boat. And also I belive with that much gray hair
    confused the fish into thinking there were on an polar ice-cap and they
    just froze and floated to the top where BIGBIRD scooped them up.
    My protest was denied.
    
      Too bad Bassless Bob, Les and the legend weren't there cause there
    would be some serious slaming for sure.
    
      Gus and I finished 15th....
    
      Congrats BIGBIRD!!

1506.1Grey your #@*%$, Cloud 9CSSE::JUDSONWhat do you mean it isn't supportedWed Oct 17 1990 17:3122
Thanks Sully,

	BTW it was just over 18#, and second place had 11#...As far as
the GREY hair.....You wait, at least I have hair to turn grey...I think
your going to be beyond that in a few............

	Back to fishing, we caught all of our fish (except 1) in 25-35 ft
of water....We found a hole and they were stacked up on the edges of it.
Bait was the goood ole green weenie, thats not the first time that bait
has produced for us, its a great fall weather bait.

	I'll tell you one thing, the thrill of winning that tourney will
last all winter long, both in the mind and at BPS or NBS for added goodies
to compete with you guys next year.....    

Bring on the LeGeNd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But he's EASY............

Bigbird


P.S. Legend, thanks for the pictures, can I contribute something to your local
charity.........

1506.3Prize and EntriesCSSE::JUDSONWhat do you mean it isn't supportedThu Oct 18 1990 13:4211

Thanks Les,  

	Total of 62 boats, $1200 for 1st and lunker was worth $620, the guys
that came in second had the lunker, they actually made more than we did, but
not the GLORY.....It was my first experience in fishing a MassBass tourney,
but I had a great partner (Joe Ayres) he knows Webster like the back of his
hand.

Nice Job Big Bird..  i only wished I could have made this one.  The fish in
Webster have been down in these deep hole since aAug.  They have not
really started to be in the fall partens.

I would like to welcome you to the ranks of the big boys now.
If you think  that was a good payoff fish the spring Ranger Open on webster.
There will be about 100 baots.  This past spring it payed $2098 for second
(which I got) and $2500 for first with a $1000 lunker.  

Hay legend don't show up in your canoe they will not let you fish..

Hay bigbird are you going to fish the entire trail next year?
Oh and for all you amateur (not you bigbird you lost that status)
there will be a PRO-AM in mass next year.  $100/pro $20/am

This will be a great chance for you folks to fish in a State tournament
not a dec party!

re ray--  WHATS YOU PROBLEM

I have been big birds friend for a while and he puts in the time and deserves
to win..

as for the monies I was just to give an example of what is out there..
Many  if not ALL of the noters fisher persons could win a state event with
the big bucks..  And the PRO/AM is a good chance to fish a big tournament.

Or are you bent out of shape because I called you dec tournament a party?

Bassin Bob
1506.11Ray and I think YOU stupid!XCUSME::WATERSThe Legend of the LakesThu Oct 25 1990 11:208
    Shut YOU hole...Bob!
    
    You're digging yourself a bigger hole.  
    
    While you're out fishing take a dictionary with you....Christ, YOU hard
    to read.

1506.13IE0005::PUISHYSBob PuishysThu Oct 25 1990 13:137
Hay stink hole legend stay out of this.  It all your fault any way.
I tried to give an example, because you commented on the bucks, of whats 
out there.  I in no way intended to give anyone shit.  I am sorry if I offended
some of you folks.

Hay thats life.

    Bring the crap to BUSTIN'
    
       Back to the original topic,  NICE JOB BIG BIRD,  I think I said this
    already.   
    
     I know that more people like you fishing these events will increase
    the class of the of the contenders.

 Please stop the busting, folks. Busting is only supposed to occur in specially
designated topics, and then only in preparation for a tourney. Further 
busting entries will be deleted.

     6   Bob, G E T  A  L I F E  !!! Let me give you a $.25 to call all
         your friends from this file. Oh !! What's that .. you only need a
         dime?  to call Le$ Ba$cko?  
    
     7   Keep it up !! NUNHEAD!!
    
1506.18I'm still just a Little Guy!!!CSSE::JUDSONWhat do you mean it isn't supportedThu Oct 25 1990 17:4832
Bassin Bob,

	Thanks !!! It was luck that we found the the right holes, and boy
were they ever stacked up in it....Thats the first time that I have found
them that way...... You say welcome to the ranks of the big boys, well I
appreciate the award and money, etc....But, while I like to fish tourneys
with my partner, most of my fishing is for fun, so I guess that I'm still 
one of the little guys going out for a good time and to LEARN as much as I 
can about fishing in general. As of right now, my partner and I are not sure 
if we will fish Massbass or go NABA next summer... I know its a big step, 
but all we have to do is place in 1 or 2 tourneys and it will pay off. One 
of our club members won at Squam (Ranger boat + $$$) last month and he fish's 
NABA all the time.

See You at Webster in the spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take Care and THANKS again,

Bigbird



P.S. To all the folks in this file, I fully intend to fish all the DEC events
next year, provided the creek doesn't rise and flood us out.....All of you
have made those tourneys fun and serious at the same time, sure we would
all like to win or catch a couple of fish.(even you legend) But what I get 
the most out of is the companionship from all of you, we laugh, we joke (legend)
and we bust, but it is all in good natured FUN. Please don't let that stop.
Just look at the file on RayJ, that will tell you what WE mean to each other.

    OUCH!!!!!
1506.20easy,easy,easy...thanksHPSTEK::MMURPHYFri Oct 26 1990 07:2713
    
    Well said Bird !!!
    
         At times i think we can be a little "thin skinned" by a comment
    or two. WHY !!!!  no one here is out to get anyone "i hope". Were all
    in this together....to fish & "have fun" doing it, hopefully together.
    
         Light'n up on Bob ! Insted of assuming why he hasn't fished with
     us at our tourneys, ask. Building a new home and fishing in his club
     TAKES TIME.
    
                                                    relax and go easy
                                                           kiv 
1506.22RETRACTION AND APPOLOGYSOFBAS::SULLIVANFri Oct 26 1990 14:3914
    
    It has been brought to my attention I made a mistake in a previous
    reply.
    
    I appologize and please accept this as a retraction for that note.
    
    In the line where I said Bob needs a dime to call Le$ Ba$$co, that
    was incorrect of me. LE$ has NO FRIENDS...
    This would also mean that Bassin Bob wouldn't need the dime after all.
    
    BIGBIRD -  Well said !! Spoken like a true 'Terminal Angler'
