THE ODDS - continued

22. Long Ball Larry – Larry. I’ve researched his posts over and over. I put him as a fair fisherman who doesn’t boast about his catches. But his age makes The House wonder if he can hang with the big boyz??? Plan an offshore sea bass trip for the 18th Larry 40 to 1 OUT
23. KurtisB – Kurt. AHHH finally a seasoned fisherman who’s reports SHOWS that he catches when many don’t. Modest reports but WE can read between the lines. He will be making the cut. 9 to 1 Been tuning up his game doing A LOT of fishing past couple weeks 6 to 1
24. Lefty Reeler -Ron . Hasn’t earned the name Mr Miller for nothing. The reason he uses left handed reels is so he can pound his beers faster RIGHT HANDED. He has tried to set The House up saying he already can’t make the 18th. Don’t worry Baby……….you won’t NEED TO! STILL FUNNY 200 to 1
25. Sea Soda – Chad. THIS IS WHAT I’M TAWKIN’ ABOUT. Finally a charter guy with the ballz to fish man to man. If he wins……..He’ll be a God. If he doesn’t, he’ll still get his name and face out there for other members to fish with him. A win/win for him. And it’ll be a good thing………..if anyone wants to charter him, He WILL be open on the 18th LOL 50 to 1
26. Fish Styx – Kris aka Fish Cakes. I gotz to be nice or he’ll run for the hills. We all remember Young Guns vs Old Farts was because he caught feelings about me calling him out on his reports. Well we’ve mended those fences and he’s become a professional. BUT he will NOT be on HIS boat so the playing field is level (well, sort of). It will be fun Cakes fishing with on the 11th; a shame we won’t be doing it again on the 18th 33 to 1 Brought his personal mate on the trip now and this will certainly help the odds.........FOR THE HOUSE 44 to 1 Can't even get me back my crab bags and already whining to me on the phone 'I'm not a party boat fishing-type' 100 to 1
27. Jigsmith – Steve. A PROVEN fluke producer. A plethora of knowledge about rigs and crafting fishing poles. But you don’t have your personal captain putting you on the meat and the competition is ON. 20 to 1 Will be close on making the cut
28. Falcon – Chuckie. Finally. We’ve fished next to each other for years, bs’ed at the dock and hung out at The King’s house but never on the same boat. After this trip, you’ll know WHY LOL. If he wears his good luck shirt 30 to 1. If he doesn’t 20 to 1
29. JMurr – Philthy Riff Raff, Joe. ALWAYS fun to fish with. ALWAYS takes home fish (even if it’s bergalls). Last year’s line, in an Emcee’s voice “you’ve just won an all expenses paid, one way trip to Philadelphia” was priceless. The Flyers win the Cup, the Phillies the Series and the bEagles the Bowl before he wins PUOSU. 100 to 1 OMFG He's been on a tear (when Jerry puts him directly over the mother-lode and Stelios calls him in on a bucket-bite 200 to 1
30. Quanman – Mark. Has been a part of these trips for a couple of them and has always been a producer. He adds entertainment and is a joy to fish with (just be on the other side of the boat). BUT between him and his buddy (odds to follow) you can bet these two as a team or individually. Alone 300 to 1. With LobsterBisque 88 to 1
31. Shrimpman – Steve aka Softbait. Banned last year due to slipping a banana in my bag (I know…..I’m such a baby) but WELCOMED back with open arms this year. Every trip needs a Steve. Oh if you don’t know him, you will remember him after this trip. CERTAINLY NOT for the fish he catches. If you’re not sure who he is……..just follow the food. LOVES to fish with shrimp and will claim to his dying day that it catches big fish. It doesn’t. IF he catches a fish be sure that it’s weight will increase drastically throughout the day; until it hits the official scale. 44 to 1 Pin Hooking SHYTE. Crying because a couple peepz called him out on his Magically Weight-Increasing Fish????? 100 to 1
32. Smokey Joe – Tom. Not shy to imbibe but will also stand at the rail all day. He has let The House down in the past years but the Cream Will Rise this year. He’ll make the cut. 8 to 1 OH what a week Tom had.......12# on the Mimi.....9# on the M*** M..........and surviving the Boston Pete "Snag and Switch" 5 to 1
33. Bagel Boy – Gene. Cut his teeth with some good local captains then branched out onto his own and still caught. He’ll make a good showing on this trip too and will be cordially invited to vie for the TITLE on the 18th @ 12 to 1
34. Gerry Z – Gerry. Site owner. Fearless leader. The man who made LAB eat shyte for a month (and it tasted horrible). Gerry does a fair amount of fishing but will admit this isn’t his forte. He’ll be found OFTEN by the food OR cooler. You will also be sure it’s him when you hear the mates grumbling “can’t this effing guy tie his own rigs like everyone else?” LMAO Love ya big guy; enjoy THIS trip. Plan a late dinner date with the lovely bride on Saturday night the 17th because you won’t need to be getting up early on Sunday the 18th . 75 to1 Closest Our Exultant Leader hasn't SEEN water in a month. Stopped off @ the Ocean Explorer TONIGHT to explain to the mates that their job is to "NET THE FISH, LET THESE MAMBY PAMBY WANNA-BEs TIE THEIR OWN RIGS". Ha ha ha Heart U Gerry 500 to 1
35. Eamon – duh. Gotta say don’t know what happened???? Used to fish regularly on party boats and charters but seems to have fallen off the face of the Atlantic??? He’ll probably bring some of the best Irish Soda Bread you’ll ever eat to the trip and will go home with some fish. Just not any BIG fish. 50 to 1
36. Tautog 1 – Paulie. My Boy. He’ll have us in stitches with his stories and antics. He’ll slip some hermit crabs out of his pocket and lose them as fast as he puts them down. Don’t fish next to him because the breeze from his constant swinging and missing will get you cold. He’ll have a blast with the “party crowd” on this trip. Just won’t catch any big fish! 25 to1
37. Lobster Tail - . Won the title of Best Dressed for his hat on PUOSU 2. Kept the crowd alive with his homemade wine. He and his partner, the Lake Louise Launcher even caught some fish (think they caught a lobster pot too?). Hell they MIGHT have caught the biggest fish on PUOSU 2 but wouldn’t have known (see The Wine above) ha ha ha ha ha. You saw the combined odds under Quanman. His individual odds are the same as Mark’s 300 to 1
38. SportsfishingUSA – Vinnie. MY OTHER BOY. He’ll regal us with stories. He’ll bring a smile to your face. He’ll fish, drink, eat, sleep then fish again and you won’t be able to tell which on he’s doing LOL. Absolutely ZERO chance to catch the big fish. NONE, NIL, NADA. 1,000 to 1 Warming up on Fish Styx Charters and doing "well"???? A plus. Paying late on paypal (wow that was hard huh? Vinnie?) A minus. 1,001 to 1
39. IronFish - Ralph. Another unknown. From his posts I see he is an offshore guy. Friend of Mike Garone (don’t win ya points Kid LOL). This is a BLACKFISH ONLY tournament. The biggest pout don’t count (well unless you’re trying to win points with Murray). The House has a feeling this guy may lost the most rigs (yeah Gerry……..more than you). 66 to 1
40. Taxman – John. OH we’ve had our fair share of “discussions” on the site. I’ve actually even read FISHING reports by him. And that’s why his odds are better than Vinnie’s. 200 to 1
41. Tats – Dave. Tat’s will shine without the baggage of that OTHER HRU member. He’ll be smart to hang around the Bow Boyz and learn from the PROs, not listen to SOMEONE bitch all day long. (we WILL miss you Mick). He may even catch ONE decent fish; enough to get him on the 18th trip; MAYBE. 13 to 1
1a. Replacement for Joe Longo - Nikola Really wanted in on this trip and plans to make the cut for the finals 15 to 1
2a. Replacement for Long Ball Larry - Jezebiotch Chances he'll carry Fish Cake's stuff on to the boat EVEN MONEY. Making the cut to the final 15? ha ha ha 50 to 1. Catching the biggest fish on the Ocean Explorer? LOL 75 to 1. WINNING the entire thing? LMFAO 300 to 1

Do not worry what people say as they are just busting chops. Can not let it bother you. Worry about what you have control over and do not pay much attention to the rest.

Whether you have a good trip or a bad trip you always seem to make the best of it and have a good time. Many do not have that good a disposition when they have a bad day. (myself included) Need to take a page out of your book on bad days. Luckiliy I have not had that many of them.

It was my buddy that caught it Mike.. He was fishing right next to me with 'Clamstrings' rod so you might want to lower mine and clamstrings odds!

Tie Breaking Procedure


Gonna keep it simple


In case of a tie to those on waiting list, the person who signed up first gets the spot. If said person can't make it, the spot goes to the next person (the person he was tied with who signed up later).

While the 2 trip format was a good idea, with so many qualifiers not being able to go back to back weekends I am gonna hafta re-think this format for PUOSU 5



Mike Garone - You are now on the Mimi Trip since Scoundrel can't make it. IN or OUT?

I thought blackfishermen actually had the ballz to say "I'm going fishing and that's that. Take the family portrait without me!" hoo luvz u cakes?
