PUOSU VIII - 12/12 and 12/19

[CadiShackFishing]

Gerry, I can help Alex with the weighing since the Admiral is backing out. Also I will bring some Dunkin Donuts for the trip (for the record I did not take them home last year Larry LOL) Also my odds need to be changed to more like 10,000 to 1.

Gerry, just to clarify, you have my paypal. I believe Bobby's check will be for two. I am, however, a charter member of the Tog Team!

[Rob B]

Jerry I am having trouble getting off of work. If someone is waiting for a spot they can have mine. I'm not going to know till last minute m

[Taxman]

While waiting for Jmur to post the official odds, here is my take

There is a reson “Former” is in the name, all make cut, none repeat
River Rat - Former PUOSU Winner
Scotty - Former PUSOSU Winner -
Rob B - Former PUOSU winner
JLRotary - Former PUOSU winner

Gerry – Those who can, win, those that can’t create a web site about it Makes next trip based on site owners exemption
Alex MVP – top 5 in talent, will he be too busy being a good guy to win?
Hartattack – puts in the time, makes cut, maybe Shrimpy can resuscitate his winning chances
Lefty Reeler – fished next to him a couple PUOSU’s ago, will catch, will have a really good time, will not win
Joey Dah Fish – read once or twice on site he was dropped on his head as a child. Too busy telling everybody about some fluke he once caught
CadiShackFishing – gets no respect
Dales – another guy that is too good at being a good guy to actually fish enough to win
HDMarc – uses a blackfish as a prop in his picture, question is did he catch it or borrow it
KurtisB – my odds on favorite to win
Joetheplumber – we are not fishing in Brooklyn
SaltLife – poses with a fluke, will be a fluke if he makes the cut
Stelios – If Kurtis doesn’t win, the big guy is overdue
Blackfish Bobby – Home boat, named himself after the target and still has never won. Maybe always the bridesmaid, never the bride
Reel Ron – having a good season so far, makes the cut but doesn’t crack top 5
Dupes – see a post where he outfished Blackfish Bobby, BB will cut his line if he sees a big one coming
Sven of the hook – Seems to fish a lot with Gerry and JdF, you are judged by the company you keep. Misses the cut
Taxman – forgets that tax you strive for zero, fishing you try for max. might catch a keeper this year which would be one better than last. No chance unless I snag one
Thing1 – Only wins if dad hooks it and passes pole to him like he did when he was young. Will make the cut due to good genes
DFish – see a lot of recent posts, none with blackfish, no chance
King of the knoll – This ain’t stripers and it is many, many years since that competition. Good to see you join for oldtimes sake, no need to keep next Saturday free
AWD3 – only 22 posts? Nice whale picture
Gbgeorge – Owns a fishing systems company, almost as good as owning a website
Bacala – another ringer that never rises to the top, makes cut, cheers winner
Hookset - will be too busy jigging near and harassing JMur to win
Dupes – he ain’t no thing 2
Islander II – Selling boats, does this mean the fish won?
Foul Hook – name describes only way he makes cut
Small Fry – 1 post total, does name describe catch?
Snafu777 – Is your name for the rig or the number of screwed up trips?
SportfishingUSA – wins funniest guy award, top 5 in beer consumption, makes cut, barely
PABeerGuy – Can’t be mean to the beer guy  makes cut just for the brew
JMurr – side kick to the funny guy, same results
Quanman – will arrive with wine, will leave with a whine of didn’t make the cut
Lingking20 – this isn’t ling, I am getting 5 extra rigs just for you when you run out,
Broken Bobber – this isn’t the TNT where you can avoid the crowd but does have the intangibles on his side. Emotional odds on favorite, top 3 finish
Fat Fish Stick – is name your bait or what you will be having for dinner after missing the cut?
Two Guys Rod – should have no chance, but just like the little girl with a Barbie pole, sometimes the unexpected happens

Quick LAB story for the newcomers to PUOSU...

This one year LAB was riding me on the PUOSU thread like a broken bike calling me out..... Zagorski this and Zagorski that..... I let him go on and figured I'd get him to PUOSU and make a little side bet with him.

The bet was who ever had the fewest keepers on the first trip had to write a very specific reply on the message board when someone asked anything related to blackfishing the entire year until the next PUOSU.

It went something like

" If you want to know anything about Blackfishing you will have to ask (insert winners name here) because I know nothing about blackfish and (insert winners name) is a better blackfishermen then me, I suck"

Well.... You "no" if he's called out, he's not going to back down and as luck would have it, blabber mouth LAB was forced to PUOSU and lost the bet..... Everyone went out of their way for the next year asking questions on the board about Blackfishing. If he missed a post we all made sure to PM him to let him "no" there was another blackfish post up on the board.

I "no" how much it pained the little devil to write those words but as a man of his word he did.

Funny thing was when the year was over, he went up on the board and deleted every one of those posts.

RIP Mike Wells..... Miss you lots. An equal opportunity offender who took the time to know everything about everyone, never missed a trick or to bring you and unexpected cup of "cawfee" and behind the scenes, he always gave more then he got.
