Hey Mike, Make you a deal, since you deserve it after the other tourney, We both catch 11.43 lb fish and split the 10k. deal? Deal.

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Wed May 28, 2008 1:26 pm

Deal! except I think its only going to take a 9+ to win

BMX Bassin · Post by **BMX Bassin** » Wed May 28, 2008 1:37 pm

Yes I agree just under 10 will take it, being in July, I just like the sound of 11.43lbs though. If someone gets a DD I will be surprised. But if they do they should win. I caught most of my biggest fish last summer but the biggest was only 9.5. So if I can find her again, or the several other spawned out 7 and 8lbrs I have a shot. Actually anybody who knows the lake and can fish swimbaits with confidence has a shot. Good Luck Mike and to all........ but I am buying!!!

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Wed May 28, 2008 3:30 pm

Well, I havent been on the lake in 5 years, but i can catch a swimbait fish once in a while

revrat · Post by **revrat** » Thu May 29, 2008 6:41 am

Waiting list for me. I just realized that it was on Clear Lake. I thought it was going to be down south again. I guess that's what I get for not looking into it. Hopefully some more folks drop out so I can slide in there and give it a shot.

Ricky-S · Post by **Ricky-S** » Thu May 29, 2008 6:45 am

I'm in and I don't think that it will be won on a swimbait and the winning fish will be 8-9 lbs.

It is a summer tournament. It will be interesting to see how they work the 6 hour rule.

BMX Bassin · Post by **BMX Bassin** » Thu May 29, 2008 7:07 am

Swimbaits all year at Clear Lake Ricky S!!!!! I dont think you want to give away your secrets but what do you think? Top Water? Frog? Jig? or plead the 5th!!??

Ricky-S · Post by **Ricky-S** » Thu May 29, 2008 7:10 am

Hey BMX-You seen me do what I plan to do

Summer time means hit them on the head baby

BMX Bassin · Post by **BMX Bassin** » Thu May 29, 2008 7:19 am

Yes, yes I did,

Good Luck. You were a cool dude, Glad I got to fish with you before I moved to the front of the boat permanately.

Marty · Post by **Marty** » Thu May 29, 2008 7:50 am

With a Sunrise of 5:53 am and safe-light about 30 minutes before - we could have weight-in at Noon and barbecue beef brisket for lunch with all of the trimmings. I could be on my way home by 2:00 pm with a check in my pocket.

Saturday morning I would have to head to the bank then go to the Pre-check-in for Pro-Teen Classic and Sunday fish it.

Marty

PS Good luck to you all.

basshunter4u · Post by **basshunter4u** » Thu May 29, 2008 8:13 am

Hey Marty, remember that the HBC only pays for first place not 2-10th place

but I do think that there will be a very early start and the weigh in will be at noon with the fun to begin after that. I believe there will be more festivities that are not mentioned yet that are in the works. Remember to bring your 4 inch swimbaits as most of the guys will be dropshotting

DOn Osborne

Marty · Post by **Marty** » Thu May 29, 2008 5:45 pm

Don,

Did you ever use those swimbaits I gave you? I have made some improvements since then â€“ I have a fall rate of 2 feet per second (estimated) and I think I can slow it down even more. But the main way I like to fish them is a wake bait style â€“ O by the way they are 6 inches. Check out the photos! Iâ€™m trying to imitate the Clear Lake Hitch.

I know there is only one spot for a check but I have the opportunely to fish with some big names (like you). Plus any given Sunday it can happen â€“ my odds are 1 in 50. That is better then playing the Lotto or going to Vegas.

But Iâ€™m really looking forward to the tournament!

Marty

Bwaaahhhaaa....LMFAO!! Good one Don.

basshunter4u · Post by **basshunter4u** » Fri May 30, 2008 5:01 pm

Huh giving up my belt.... Thats a good one since it is mine forever. The only thing left to say now is wouldnt the Clearlake belt go nicely with the Casitas one. I have a nice spot for it in the display case. I need to move some hardbaits to another case first but rumor has it the belt is a size 36 and thats my waist. Hey Don M I heard your waist was a growin?? Too bad the belt wont fit.

see ya soon buddy

bassindon69 · Post by **bassindon69** » Fri May 30, 2008 5:19 pm

There is no need to move those hard baits

I still am a 34 waist

You must have cried about giving up the belt so they made another

Yea see ya soon.

Don.

Don want to make a side Bet?

DO

bassindon69 · Post by **bassindon69** » Fri May 30, 2008 6:16 pm

Sure, I will bet you that you will talk to many for help and I will talk to no body. I will bet you again you already are getting tips LOL!!!
DUDE I got two cars not running now

I am not taking a suckers bet. Sorry.
But If you would like Me against You How about we Armwrestle for 100 bucks or more ? I will even let you get all the tips you want

I have more faith in this then catching a bigger fish

Can't take to many chances with money these days.

Don.

basshunter4u · Post by **basshunter4u** » Fri May 30, 2008 7:11 pm

Dude you are questioning your own skills, what happened with the double hud rig? No confidence? Suckers bet? Arm wrestle? Thats for kids why dont we have a spelling bee? Up on the podium you can spell DOUBLEDIDGIT. OH yeah thats my word, you can spell TWO POUNDER. How about putting up 200.00 and I will do the same and whoever wins if it either of us will take the cash and everybody elses. Sound good and maybe if you will let me I can buy you lunch

Don you'd better hit the spell check before you caps lock next time. I say you guys make it a triathlon! spelling bee,arm wrestling match,and a weigh in.

I know you can break off some of that 10g's for a side bet!

fourbizzle · Post by **fourbizzle** » Fri May 30, 2008 9:27 pm

My money is on B-don, arm wrestling and weigh in.

Don O

Like you said DOUBLEDIDGIT is your word, so you lose(double digit )

GAME OVER!
Oh and Arm Wrestling for kids? WHAT! Then you say lets do a Spelling bee

WHAT! I only know of kids doing spelling bee's

As far as the double rig goes It's fun period. I am not out for fun on this. I am out to win just like you BUT you wont win this one on the first cast

Someone or my self will be taking your 200 my friend. That you can take to the bank.

You want to talk a sport? That's fine but I'm not going to play any candy a _ _ spelling game with you

I suppose you want to compete in ribbon twirling instead

I bet you are a black belt in Origami too

YOUR GOING DOWN!!!

Don

PS I do have access to a table (Arm Westling) I will even let you say go. You would not last much more then the "o" in go

scott h · Post by **scott h** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 7:25 am

basshunter4u · Post by **basshunter4u** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 8:23 am

Actually I was never any good at spelling, spent my time on the lake. never done the ribbon twirling never even seen it. Is that an Olympic sport. As far as the black belt goes I do have a 5th degree belt in the arts of self defense that took me 17 years to get. I hurt my shoulder in a 6 on 1, just like the one on fight club which my instructor for a while Mark Gerry of Castro Valley was on, to get to the 6th degree and figured that was enough. Back to the fish. Clearlake sucks and I dont understand why. I figure last winter there was a die off of some major proportion thats why numbers of big fish are down. I am going to stop this crap back and forth because we both are good sticks and both have a shot at the win. Take care DM

DO

bassindon69 · Post by **bassindon69** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 10:11 am

Boooo Your no fun. We had them talking

Hmmmm Must have hit a nerve. I thought it was all good my friend.
Sorry if I went to far buddy, it's all a part of acting to make it look real.
Best of luck to you too.
One friend told me if we fished as much as we talked we would do well

Hope all is well. See ya there.

The Otter Don. I mean Other.
