OK Fish are showing up and Capt Ron is puttin nice catches in da boat. Time for POOL trash talk and odds: No one does this better than LAB but I am highjacking his schtick cause it adds some fun to the trip.
For all new guys , This is just Kidding around so no getting upset
- Hartattack: Larry's mission in life is to be first to sign up which is credible and appreciated. After that he is too busy protecting his pulpit to notice the ocean is in the other direction. However is a Capt Ron regular and if he brings his son we may have to re evaluate:50: 1
- Lefty Reeler Gang: Always a huge help on these trips. Ahh, a tough one as they are an avid group of fishermen with all the latest toys and deserve consideration. Speaking of "toys" Capt Freddie wont be there to bait your hooks and this aint wreck fishing! 20:1
- Capt Fran Verdi. WTF he is a professional Striper Capt and sponser. Have to keep him busy selling raffles and handing out lunch. He wont be allowed in the wheelhouse and will be patted down for handheld devices. But he is a Striper Guy: 3 :1
- Mopar Charlie: Not enough info but heard some good things: 30:1
- Flukeguy: Name says it all, but hear he can fish: 50:1
- Shrimpman: Anyone who fishes as much as he does is bound to have a decent day once in awhile. IF its soft bait he has a shot, if jigging NOT, while jigging he has a shot to get the “pots off the reefs” all by himself 30:1
- Vinntastic: Has to be considered a major threat, home turf on Ron's boat and big seasonal pool winner. Get him talking about that though and he will forget he's fishing : 5:1
- Mike M: One of the nicest guys on the trip and we all know what happens to them 100:1
- Chris Gadd Crew: No info so 100:1
- Dockbuilder: If we fish the bay close to "DOCKS" he may have shot. In the Ocean there are NO DOCKS. 45:1
- Madman: Fished offshore wrecks with him and could be a player. 20:1
- Dr Sal and crew of 5. Not sure what to make of this crowd, They got a Doctor a "Tuna guy" and a “Capt”. Just names until they produce. 50:1
- SHIRTGUY: ALL CAPS IN HIS HONOR. Actually fishing without permission on wife’s birthday ! Will be checking cell phone and watch from sunup to return while wiping the sweat from his brow with a SHIRTGUY hand towel. 75:1
- Dave Meseck Crew: Threatened to fish with me half a dozen times last year. At this point still an imaginary fishermen and crew until there is proof he exists. 100:1
- Gerry Z: Will be worried about site crashes, No LAB to compete with and more important no River Rat to tie his rigs and tell him when to lift the rod tip! However he is a previous winner on the hat drawings, knowledgeable fishermen and beverage manager so we will go easy. 30:1
- John Henderson: Defending last year POOL winner but that was a “Fluke” (seriously). Usually deceptively quiet, has some nice fish on record (all species) and somehow ends up in the end of day photo shoot. Has to be considered a threat. 5:1
- Quanman: Been Blackfishing with Mark Monger style and he makes a hell of a Proscuitto. Can hold his own and time will tell. 30:1
Glenn Griffith, Steve and Marissa Douglas: Well lets start with the fact they are from PA. Nuff said! Marissa could be a puller though and the young lady at 13 or less is brave enough to go on this trip. You all know how the pool could turn out: Adults 75:1 Marissa 20:1
Major John Schwantes: No info but we go easy on anyone who puts Major in front of their name: 50:1
Willie W (Uglystick1) No info so 100:1
Jeff Criswell JR and SR: Sounds like a Chevy Chase movie (almost) No info so I am reaching here. 100:1
Wayne Walbum: No info 100:1
Mike Gifford: Again no info 100:1
Terry D / Keith M and Don S: These are the hometown boys I grew up with and have been fishing with since we could walk. All avid fishermen but better known for other things usually found on Post office walls. Not a chance 100:1
