    Dynamite Tournament of Champions 2007

    in Carp Tournament Series

    Posted

    It is hard to believe that only six teams have signed up. Unfortunately I have a work conflict and will be in San Diego. I wanted to fish this as the tournament should be a great one. I hope more teams sign up and look forward to the live leaderboard.

    I hope you aint going to the same guy who did your wifes ink?

    (Karl, theres so many "nasty, negative, and unecessary" comments going around that I figured Id give it a shot. Quite refreshing really. I like it. Expect more.)

    Nah mate!!! BTW it was a girl who did the missus' ink!!

    Nasty? Negative? You sir?..................Surely not!! Just misunderstood!

    Looking forward to more!!!! :D

    Good artists don't even need pictures or photgraphs...........They just let their imagination and creativity loose.

    Having said that if I was getting a common carp done I would definitely take picture references, otherwise you could end up with a tattoo of a guppy!!!

    Match Fishing?

    A true test of angling skills! :D

    You fish where draw, no matter what you think of the swim, you cannot change it.

    You usually fish at the worst times during the day.

    Your angling prowess will bring you lots of cash if you have any!!! :D

    Brilliant.............Miss it immensely!!! :D

    My version of the packbait "packer"

    in Pictures, Stories & Video

    Allowed---yes.

    No packbaiter worth their salt would ever use one though----unless they were handicapped. :D

    So Tim............

    Would the packed bait have to be packed around the hook and hookbait or could you thread this on and have it separate from the hookbait..........

    I always thought that the pack had to look like it was the actual hookbait at paylakes

    Cheers

    Would it be wrong?

    It's not just the Bass anglers....it's a personality type. At the Specialist tournament in NY a couple of English anglers were at the next peg to me....one of them owns the 'Free Spirit' company. Simon ######### I think his name is. This sniveling whingebag actually complained to the stewards when my team mate stood on a table to try to get a different angle on a fish that had snagged him on the drop off...he cited the 'You must have one foot on the ground' rule....which was meant to prevent people from swimming in their pegs! Later, I cast out in front of me, on a line I had been casting to for two days....and he suddenly started aggressively shouting at me that I had cast over him and he had a fish on. I ever so gently :D informed him that his head was on the wrong way up and that in actual fact HIS fish had strayed into my swim because he couldn't play it properly and if he wanted to be a dick about it we'll have it disqualified. He then tried to berate me for not having the courtesy to look left and right at the anglers around me before I cast out into my own swim!!! :D I shouted "Listen MATE! I'm fishing here...NOT CROSSING THE ROAD!!!!! :D

    Dude (I know you love it!!)

    You are absolutely right here, there are ar$eholes everywhere..............Seen it for years and years back home on the match scene. Seen guys actually come to blows over rules stuff too :D

    There is an old story about a well known English matchman that actually tried to get a competitor from South Africa disqualified at a World Championships because he was sitting with his seatbox on the line of the boundary of his swim. ..........South Afrcan guy told him to go ahead and call the stewerds, he was staying right where he was, and if it meant him being disqualified, then so be it. He was there to enjoy the whole experience and no English ar$ehole was going to spoil it for him. :D

    The English guy did call the stewards and filed an official complaint, but it went nowhere!!!!

    Funniest thing was that the South African guy snared a bream in the face, to absolutely obliterate the weight of the English guy who was scratching around for bits!!! Karma eh?

    Karl :D

    Well there's certainly nothing wrong with it, but my experience has been (and have spoken to others with the same problems) that there is no more good for nothing, sorry rude animal on the water than a bass fishermen when he is in a tournament...

    I have experienced this rude animal when fishing at a California reservoir with Borofc.

    Same guy in a float tube, in a tourney, trying to catch bass on their nests caught my lines twice as he passed left to right, then twice as he came back, then twice as he came left to right again............It wasn't until the seventh time he caught me that I had to say something.........

    The conversation went something like this....

    "That is the same line you have snagged the last three times you have come past, it is still out there and you are fishing right over where my lines are" (ME!!!)

    "I am in a tournament" (His reply!)

    "Oh! shall I wind in my gear and get my buddy to wind hiss in to, so that you can fish where we are fishing?" Was my blatantly sarcastic reply!! (Or I thought it was blatant!) :D

    "Yes, I can see the bass on their nests"............He said completely oblivious to my sarcasm, and as he untangled his hook from my line for the 7th time and proceeded to cast right over my other line.

    Now ask the guys that know me and they will tell you I am a very polite person, but am not known for my patience...........Him casting over me was the last straw!!!

    I struck like a Southern Paylaking Buff maestro :D , almost falling over backwards in the process, and wound down to my gear, dragging both my gear, his gear and him towards shore (Good stuff that 50lb Power Pro!!!) .

    "Hey You have caught my line!!!!" He shouted at me.

    "No #### !!!" says I.

    I bit through his line at the lure and threw it in the lake some 20 yards past him......................He went beserk!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D A volley of curse words were sent my way............

    Now he is talking my language... :D

    We "exchange points of views" for a few seconds then he gets on his two way radio and calls the tournament organizers, who come tear arsing across the lake, causing all kinds of bow waves on the lake (Where motorized boats are forbidden, I guess they has special dispensation!).....They stop and speak to him, then turn to me asking if there is "some kind of problem here???"............

    I reply quite politely that yes there is a problem, the problem is this selfish a$$hole has continually cast over our lines (Which I understand happens when sharing lakes), I stopped him casting over them , and he doesn't like it.

    "But this is a tournament" was the reply I got from the organizer!!!

    "So because this is a tournament, that gives excuses for a$$holes like that to spoil everyone elses enjoyment of the lake". I asked

    "But you stole his lure"..........Replies Johnny Organizer!!!! I couldn't believe this, turned to Chris and laughed.

    I didn't steal it,.......... I hooked into something when retrieving my tackle as numb nuts had snagged it again...........I found a strange looking piece of plastic with some treble hooks in it attached to my line, I decided I didn't want to keep it, as it had no nutritional value for me so I decided to release it to fight another day, I am hoping to come back in a few years time and catch again when it is worth eating!!! :D :D

    What could he say to that?????

    He started his boat up and buggered off!!!

    Old matey boy in the float tube didn't bother us again though for the rest of the day, although he did catch the lines of some Mexican dudes who were catfishing further up the bank!!!

    I don't think these guys had any clue we were actually fishing for carp, as most fish for cats in there, so I don't think any adverse publicity towards carp anglers was caused by us that day. :D

    Karl :D
