Thread: Hooligian Bay Tournament

TAE73, didn't get a chance. Had to help a neighbor with medical problems. Sounds like it was a rough day. Looks like this week it is going to warm up. I'm sure I will make it up to Truman this week-end. Hope they start biting better. I'm glad there were 22 boats. That makes for a respectible tourney too.

There should be another one next year, might see ya at truman leaving Wedn staying till sunday. Good luck to ya.. and hope your neighbor is doing ok.

TAE, whatever. Maybe the reason you don't post on the Conservation Cafe is that others differ with your opinions. I respect your opinion/decision and will leave it at that. However, I had two friends that wanted to just come along Saturday and we enjoyed the morning by laughing and joke telling. Not serious, competitive fishing, but fishing nonetheless. I want to have fun rather than just compete, and I am competitive and work at catching crappie, maybe not your one pounders but I catch my share. Wish you only the best! Bruce, wait a minute I think I have another bite.

No Bruce the reason I dont post of there is becuase I got tired of your BS. So I deleted everything and have never went back, I found this place that has a good group of people. Where people tell the fishing reports they way they are. And no one is not out make themselfs look good or drum up business. Yes business because that was how you introduced yourself to me. Asking for me to give u a 150 bucks for a boat ride and you would show me around. Remember my name yet???????? Becuase I used the same name.

I am glad that you took your friends fishing, but dont start out saying that I might would have fished if I had a entry form and then say no I took friends. If you can read directions I would have been gladly to mail you one. Just dont give one story and then change it.

My one pounders???? Where did I say anything about my one pounders???

Oh by the way if you are giving fish away that counts on your limit/possesion, maybe a MDC officer should check in on you for being over limit/possesion. I only take what I am going to eat for 1 meal the coming week and thats it, which is usually 5 or 6 fish.

Ted, No I don't remember your name or you! Unlike you, I talk with hundreds of people a year about fishing and my memory is not as good as it was 30 years ago. I conduct fishing seminars and help kids learn the sport. I welcome the MDC agents to contact me, I frequently visit the MDC staff, but you wouldn't be aware of that. Yes, I give fish away, but am very aware of the regulations regarding donations. I give fish to dozens of families in my community each year. Those widows and others unable to fish; if that is a crime report me. I give them away after I return to my hometown.
Ted, you have a chip the size of mount rushmore on your shoulder, grow up. Maybe that is why the CC crowd had problems with you. I don't participate in your tourneys, maybe because I would rather be with friends, I have the ability to change my mind and I might change again. It is your opinion to take what you can eat, I believe in sharing the harvest, a theme of MDC and good christian behavior. And I am checked several times a year by conservation agents from many states, bought licenses in 5 states last year. And, I have been a hunter safety instructor for over ten years, participated in the MDC regulations committee meetings to determine limits and seasons. I donate my time and resources for our outdoor sports. I donated 25 years of my life in service to my country and the US ARMY. Sorry if I don't measure up to your expectations, but I strive to meet my standards which are probably higher. I don't really care if a fish is 14 ozs or a pound, as long as it meets the minimum standard and is legal. Either way I always wish sportsmen the best and have a safe and enjoyable season. May Gods' shadow always cover your life. Bruce, wait a minute I think I have another bite.

Ted, next time you question a guys fish, see them before you doubt and call liar! It is easy to hide in the woods and call foul. Hiding behind your TAE, I stand in the open. People know me and what I stand for and believe in. What have you done for God and country? Perhaps I shall invite the good folks from CC to join us here, no I am bigger than that. Again I invite you to have a good safe season. Bruce

Come on guys, lets play nice. Things are getting too personal and we don't want to lose the tone of the valuable information we get on this website.

thanks for your cooperation, Roger (Jigman)

Bruce, I could really care less what you do or who you help. I know what I have done in life and to me its better than your 25 years in the service. Just becuase you was in the service doesnt make you better than anyone that wasnt. I have several friends in the service and some in the middle east, they dont think they are better then me becuase I didnt join up... grow up. Nor am I hiding behing my name, Mine is Ted A Ellsworth maybe you couldnt figure that out I use my intials. Nor am am I hiding in the woods, I live in jefferson city, I drive a silver dodge pickup with white charger and black merc nor like you that lives in mid missouri... thats what like a raduis of of 50-75 miles???? to me thats hiding. And no I dont have chip on my shoulder I just dont like they way say one thing and then later change it or dont read what someone tells you then your bitch later. Nor did I call or say u was a liar, yes I did doubt your scale. At first when I saw your reports years ago, I thought maybe we knew your ****. But after learning that you did a guide service...it didnt take long to put the 2 and 2 together. Lets see if I make the reports look good then maybe people will hire me and I can take them fishing, then say well you should have been here yesterday. I am done with you and what you have to say and this topic so....good bye!
