#1113, "Bkt'mouth: you a prognosticator, or WHAT???"
|
Geez, bud, you couldn't have called it any closer! I scrolled down looking for that replica-maker's link -- that YOU provided, coincidentally enough!!! ( Jeffsfishmounts.com )
Anyways, when I read your "JSmith" post from 3/14 just now, I couldn't believe you called it to the DAY -- catching your 10-plus on the 29th, the last day in your "no later than" statement. That was quite the call!!!
Can you tell me what day it will be that I beat your **16**???!!! :7
In any case, this guy 'Jeff' looks like he does some good work, even if that "$13 per inch" quote adds up pretty quickly!!! (What did you say yours was? 28 inches long? Hmmm... 28x13=$364, plus another $50 or so for the driftwood mount. Looks like over $400 for his basic quote). Well, at least you have a starting point for comparison, if nothing else! Like I had said a couple weeks ago: since all you're left with is the PHOTO, which you'll ALWAYS have, there's no real reason to rush into anything.
If you happen to shop around & find a better deal, with the same level of quality Jeff Soto seems to offer, be sure & post what you find. I've still got an 11-5'er I'd like to see mounted on the wall someday -- if not something BIGGER!!!

That sounds really great. I'm sure the BnT'rs will love the idea.

I guess we'll need to clarify all this stuff if it's gonna be an ongoing thing. A couple of guys who *caught* their fish before the 3/31 deadline, didn't get their photos up in time to win. So, does that mean that their subsequent *postings* count for April, even though the fish were caught the last weekend of March? Or do we specify that the clock starts on any *catches* beginning on the 1st of the month, and you have to post your photos before the month is over?
I'm not just trying to be my normal anal self on this, it's just that a couple of potential (actually, *legitimate*) candidates missed out on the prize because of the way the rules were stated, even though their catches were caught in the calendar month. Right now, the basic question is: would Bucketmouth's 16'er count toward April, even though he caught it on 3/29?
Just for the sake of clarity (and therefore, fairness!), I think we need to nail this down, with as little ambiguity as possible. Of course, the whole contest is based upon the honor system to begin with, so I suppose there's potential for any number of disputes. Hopefully, we can keep it to a good ol' *gentleman's agreement*. I guess it shouldn't get too far out of hand, given the limited number of qualifying candidates we're going to be dealing with.
Thoughts from the board?

Sounds like we're on the right track here -- I'd better get to work! CJ, your follow-up sounds fair as fair can be; I'm all for it, the way you've sketched it out in your post. I'm sure anything close to that would be good. (Yeah, Jerry, you can take a day or two to catch your breath with your Seco 16'er, but with this buncha hawg-hunters, NO lead is safe! You've just raised the bar, that's all (and that's what it's all about, anyway, right?)!!).
The battle's on yet again, boys!!! (And, hey - where *ARE* the girls, anyway??!!! Any honey-dew hawghunters out there???). :D
