How about the two of y'all putting some $ where those alligator mouths of y'all's are?

I haven't fished tournaments in a couple of years; but the two of you have just about convinced me that it might be a good idea again.

While I know it is going to be hard to get everyone's schedule lined up, how about we have a little tournament? No partners. No BS. Each individual's best 5. Have an independent party ride along with each of us.

And nobody's home lake. We pick an independent lake. Close to nobody's home lake. Let everyone pre-fish on Sat, tournament on Sunday.


Anyone else's thoughts on this matter on rules, entry fee, tournament name, etc. are welcome.

I LIKE IT

I'm in but no prefishing just go in blind draw the lake out of a hat

Standard tourney rules, no dead fish, 12 inch limit on both spots, heads and small mouths. daylight til 3pm. 30 a boat winner take all

If only 30 why not bragging rights if we are going to talk money let's talk money...

Now we used to have a tournament in our old club two rods and reels and two baits. You bring your shakey head and spinning rod. I'll bring my flipping stick and beaver

Then please make a suggestion o the entry fee.

No, I'm not doing any stupid tackle limiting stuff (but I could almost be talked into you bringing a flipping stick me bringing a spinning rod....I like my odds, honestly).

My whole point when I started posting things was to state how you could use different tackle for different conditions. That was before you showed your true colors.

$500 entry fee

bring the spinning rod then. When Ben chimes in we will figure out where it's going down.

Oh Lawd!!! That's layin' em out on the table!

Bass fishermen may be crazier than deer hunters!

or............it may just be the thread starter

Didnt figure it would take long to get off track.

You can send me a pm on where you live if you don't want to put it on here. I think Ben lives around Bessemer Hoover area. I'm in the Tuscaloosa area and fish most of the warrior river chain. But I don't get on the tombigbee much I've spent a lot of time on most of the Tennessee river lakes grew up in prattville fished all of the coosa and alabama in that area. I can tell you one lake that's fairly close that I hate to fish and very rarely go to is lake tuscaloosa. There's a lot of tournaments up there and it's probably the toughest lake in the state

Guys I have not fished a tournament since 2010. I plan to fish some aba couples trails with my wife this year if at all possible. I just don't have time to fish anything right now. I bought a boat in june and have not gone fishing by myself to date the longest I have been on the water is 4 hours. I work 6 days a week and have and have 3 yr old twins to keep up with.

Give me a year or so and I will be in, but just don't have time right now. I live in pelham so anywhere within 2 hours is doable for me.

I fish mainly Coosa and Warrior, I hate the tn river but will go with a fighters chance where ever yall decide. Day or night whatever. As for the money what ever is fine by me.

As for the ass hat comment I was not trying to be an ass at any time. However I was poking at you due to the fact that you have fought me on several comments I have made and I felt like you were saying your way was the only way.

I have beat some of the best fishermen in the state and have lost to some of the worst so I will take my chances against anyone. Sorry to be a downer but keep me in mind and I am all for making it happen at some time in the future.

I believe I'm the asshat

Hey Avengedsevenfold, what is your name. I ask as I have been on pro staffs and worked lots of events and shows and know a bunch of pros from around the state. Just wandered if I knew you. PM me if you don't want to post it.

Wow, I feel like I am back on Bass Boat Central in this thread!! lol

Buncha damn Bill Dances on Aldeer. Who knew? Why don't y'all all just qualify for and fish the Classic? Settle it on the big stage!

Big Creek Lake in Mobile....none of you bastards will catch a fish
