[Blackfish Bobby]

Nice Post...... we are ready to go...

[HDMarc]

Thing1 and Thing2, I'm impressed with your determination guys! Hope your crew gets to make the trip, you guys are gonna need one helluva big cooler!

[Life's A Beach]

1. LAB - Reigning Champ and there hasn't been a repeat in 4 years, not even close. Between work, dogs, babysitting weekends and other committments I haven't been able to get out fishing. But with this group, I won't need to. 4-1

2. Scooter - Original Champ and one of the more unique techniques. He can stand in the bow, wind in his face all day long. Just don't ask him where the sun rises or sets. Probably won't make Mimi cut but still gets props @ 10-1

3. Loud - I've HEARD he is going to be wearing headphones and listening to inspirational music/speakers all day. In the words of Biggie............"now you know..........". He'll outfish BlackCloud and may make cut for Mimi but....15-1

4. Clam - Will lead Team BNR and be fishing both days. A serious challenger @ 3-1

5. Socks - This ain't ling fishing on Tagged Fish; how's it go??? ...... snowball's chance in hell??? 1 day and done @ 25-1

6. Tats - New ring on his finger and one in his nose. New bride has already told him he's NOT making the Mimi cut. ha ha ha 20-1

7. Foul - Maybe without Rob B, Tony will be able to grow a pair and stand on his own. They've been like conjoined twins for the past 4 years. 20-1

8. Dollar - Put a lot of time in last season refining his skillz, I "no", he bought 1/2 bushel off me every week. That and 1st timer's luck and he makes the Mimi cut but........30-1

9. Ray - The Momoi Slicer. No XQQus this year. Please see the name of the thread/trip. Ray will qualify for the Mimi but I ain't worrying about HIS hat size 10-1

10. Cloud - Just heard the story of how he got his name. Surf fished up a bag full of dog shyte. ha ha ha. Will send you up to the wheel-house to compare anchoring techiques with the captain. Leave the fishing to those better equipped. 50-1

11. Softbait - GUARANTEED he'll catch more than he did on last year's PUOSU. OMMFG Mr Zero! Promised Land blah blah blah. Personal Best blah blah blah. Put a banana in my fishing bag?????? What goes around.........33-1 and ONE AND DONE!

12. Stellios - Every year I put low odds on this horse and he FAILS......miserably. He's known for catching limits and he did once dead-stick a 19#er in Delaware but we're fishing in NJ and it's only ONE FISH. 5-1

13. Lefty - Are the Giant's home on 12/16? Because he'll be able to attend the game without worrying about missing a fishing trip. 99-1

14. Baccala - Re-united with his BFF but neither of them have shown me a damn thing lately. 44-1

15. FinS - New father, world reknown antiquer and survivor of association with the BBSs. Fastest reeler in the state MAY get the fish to the surface fast but it's not about speed Booby, it's quality. 8-1

16. MVP - Another Blah Blah Blah..........Personal Best on a charter in Rhode Island. Personal Best on a charter in Maryland. Guess what Alex........we're fishing in NJ 61-1

17. BobberBoy - an unknown *

18. KurtisB - Thought his beard looked better than mine and thought he'd outfish me; LAST YEAR. This year I'm clean shaven and wearing the PUOSU IV HAT. Two trips, no hat 10-1

19. Gerry Z - A mate's nightmare. 'Can you re-tie me?' AGAIN??????? Got lucky ONE year in -25 degree weather and outfished me. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. 200-1 ONE AND DONE

20. Hart - The best fisherman in THIS family is away at college. Sorry Larry ONE AND DONE 50-1

21. Boston - Another annual chalk that balks. Actually had to drive up to UB to pick him up last year then drive him home after the trip. Too cheap to gas up the BMW pppffftttt He's busy cleaning up after Sandy, too busy to refine his skills. but sheer talent does shine thru to make the 2nd trip 3-1

22. Soda - PROFESSIONAL charter boat captain. Should have good odds, right? Deservedly agree and they're 6-1 Serious contestant!

23. Smell *

24. Krueger - Freddy should be busy with his son watching the BEST hockey team in the tri-state area instead of fishing. Alas, the strike has us sitting at home. He's never come close in the past and The House sees no reason for that failure to compete to change 48-1

25. Stix - Another PROFESSIONAL charter boat captain. The difference? ha ha ha. Yo Kris.........schedule the family portrait for 12/16 30-1

26. Garone - Professional rod builder and Mike puts in his time on the water. Putting in TIME and catching THE fish are two distinct and different things. 13-1

27. D-Fish - *

28. Iron - *

29. Flynn - *

30. Eamon - A repeat PUOSU participant. Ed has never come close. I fished next to him last year and got wind burn from him Swinging and Missing (swung at every bergall bite too OMFG). 75-1

31. Dah Fish - *

32. D-Rod - Came close a couple years ago but he's spending too much time working and with his family. He'll fish 2 trips with no hat in his future. 12-1

33. Cadi - *

34. Reef - *

35. Salt - *

36. Faust - *

37. Noodle - An old salt and seasoned blackfisherman. The House puts him at split odds: 4-1 unless someone brings homemade wine or a bottle of good scotch; then the odds become 14-1 lmao

38. Blackfish Bobby **
39. Thing 1 **
40. Thing 2 **

* - Newbies with no idea of skillz. Take one or take 'em all. 99-1 each or for the field.

** TEAM Blackfish Bobby - last year they caught limits (well RJ caught his and dad's). They LIVE on this boat and know the captain's tendencies when anchoring. If they look up to Captain Quinn then move............follow them. Don't let the disarming smiles fool you. Drop over their shoulder, squeeze between them. They'll run that flying wedge all over the boat. I've seen Bobby send the young one to sneak between guys getting a bite (who's gonna say no to a kid?) then HE moves in and pulls the fish outta the hole.
1 or all three 8-1

[blackcloudbob]

If you think thats funny you should have seen the look on Ray's face when I hung that bag on the scale at his shop. Big dog .237 pounds.

[SaltLife1980]

Right place right time.. you never know..

LOL tell bobby that scotty will be swinging at bergal bites and if they mug him, they may well be mistaken LOL

[Foul Hook]

Champ, I'll be in the hood on Saturday, I'm to scared to knock on the door so I'll put the check in the mailbox. I don't have to wait for Rob's this year so know problem! One question who should I stand next to on the boat?
