Jim PROVES Why he is Editor of Fishin.com

[fishbum]

AND NOT A PROFESSIONAL Fisherman..LOL..
Wellll the third annual fishin.com Get Together and Fishing Tournament was held today and I must say.. Franswa did NOT win for the 3rd year in a row. Matter of fact I beat Franswa by .05 pounds... and came in 6th.
Winning poundage was 3.99 pounds.
I will let Silver Ranger post the official results, but wanted to be the first to make a post about the wonderful 10 boat tournament and the 20 person turnout at the 3rd annual Get Together.
I managed one GIFT fish from the Fishing Gods... it committed semi suicide by hanging on to my Pumpkin Green Bungee power worm long enough for me to set the hook. About 10 seconds if I recollect correctly.
Darn if it had only been 3 times as big I would have taken 2nd place.

I knew that some day my picture would be bumped or removed from the home page. However, I didn't think it would be replaced by some dudes rear end!!! How RUDE!!! LOL

Sounds like you guys had fun. I think I have to agree with Shadrap too. Scary looking bunch...

[JimDicken]

I think I put your picture down the page.. I did not bump it totally.

I know, Jim. I'm just messing with you... On another topic, thanks for keeping occasional posts up on Little Tony Nata. I sent the little guy a picture, letter and lure. I hope he gets swamped with pictures and lures from hundreds of fishermen!!!

Jim, on the front page where you have the pics, you have one showing the winner, but have the wrong name ... His name is Harry Stewart, and he was Francis's partner.

I want to thank everyone for their contributions of lures for little Tony, and the cash for his sister who gave of herself for her brother.

We were fortunate enough to collect a very, very nice bag of lures, plus... now get this... $75 in donations for an American Express Gift check to help replace the lost toys of the little sister.

But that's not all. While the total was $55, Jim D. agreed to match the first $50 of donations for the Gift check. That means in addition to little Tony getting a bag of lures from fishin.com, plus pictures from the get together, but his little sister will get an American Express Gift check in the amount of $125 to help replace her lost belongings.

For those of you who don't remember or are not familiar with what I am talking about, Jim posted a request on here for little Tony. The young man is an avid fisherman, who has luekemia. Huricane Katrina destroyed the family home, it is almost rebuilt now, and Tony lost all his fishing tackle. Then his luekemia came back, and he needed a bone marrow transplant. His little sister was the donor to save his life. The call came out to all outdoorsmen and women to help by sending Tony a picture of themself with a fish, and a new lure. No mention was made of his sister. Someone on this board pointed out how painful the bone marrow donation was, and that she too lost everything. So, we took up money to send her the American Express Gift check.

This entire package will be sent by Jim D. on behalf of all fishin.com members.

Again, thank you to everyone at the cookout for giving so generously.

Danny
