First off, I'd like to thank goosepondmonster again for his hospitality. I think the "Meet & Greet" was a great idea and we couldn't have asked for a better place to have it. Members in attendance were goosepondmonster, strippitman, catfishsam, thebooeyboy, Monty, Chase, and myself. Oh, and we caught some fish! Catfishsam with a couple monsters. Monty with a nice 'gill... These things were some fighters! Booey the Slab Slayer... Now for the REALLY nice catches! Strippitman living up to his name... Chase had to go out and try to match Matt's catches.... Looks like the Cubs pulled out a close victory over the Red Sox... I need a bigger cutting board!! The 'gills were released to fight another day, but we fried up around a dozen dink bass and the crappie for a nice shore lunch. It was a fun day!

I'm glad you guys had fun. It was nice to meet the men behind the screen names. The lunch was quite excellent and I really enjoyed seeing those big crappie.
We'll try and have another bass slaying party later in the summer.

Hopefully I can make the next one. Came down with a bad sinus infection on thursday (second one this year) and that pretty much ruined my weekend.

Goose - Thanks so much for allowing us to come and fish your pit. I'm pretty sure if you have another outing there, I'll be there Would love to catch more of those giant crappies The shore lunch was great, too. Troy is the "Fryer King" I had a great time and I know everyone else enjoyed it also. I sure would like to see more members make it to the next outing if you decide to do this again. Thanks again!

Chase is kicking himself in the butt for not entering his crappie in "The Fish of the Year" contest. Guess we were too worried about the "Hall of Fame!"

What are the requirements to enter it for FOTY? 2012 Bell's Bucks & Beards "Fish of the Year" Contest Contest runs from January 21st through November 30th, 2012. Only fish caught during this time period will be accepted. Who Can Enter Any registered member of the Braggin Board and their family. A registered member may enter a fish for an immediate family member. How to Enter 1. Catch a fish. 2. Take a photo of the fish with some form of representation of Bell's Bucks & Beards. This could be BB&B, 3B, or something like that written, or you can print and use a BB&B logo like this: www.bellbucksnbeards.com/images/BBBlogocopy.jpgOr be wearing a BB&B apparel item. Hats and shirts are available here; www.cafepress.com/bucksandbeardsOr even just hold up 3 fingers in the picture to represent the 3 B's. No edited photos please. We want to make this as easy as possible, but still have proof that the picture was taken for this contest. The date of the catch is not mandatory in the picture. Please include what state(or country) the fish was caught in when you post. Any additional information about the fish is also welcome; length, weight, story, video, etc. Entries will only be accepted for the contest in the Official Entry Thread. Please only post entries in this thread and not congratulations, all other posts except official enties will be removed. Congratulations and trash talking can take place in the Tourney Talk thread, or you may start a new thread. Try to resize your photos to 640x480 pixels or similar size. If you do not know how, Chase or myself will try to resize them when we make the entry "official." An entry becomes official when Chase or myself post an entry number to it. If the entry does not meet the requirements, it will be deleted or moved to the regular board. Enter as many fish as you like, of any species, from anywhere in the world. Judging BB&B "Fish of the Year" = "most impressive catch by a member." For example; a 5lb bass caught by a 5 year old might be more impressive than a 6lb bass caught by a 60 year old, or a 2lb bluegill might be more impressive than a 20lb flathead. After November 30th the best "Final Four Fish" will be chosen from all the entries by a panel of judges. These 4 finalists will then be put against each other for a final vote by all registered members. Prizes See "Grand Prize" thread.
