I just want to double last years weight.

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 2:57 pm

327 pounds - if Sieggy and Mac can wiegh in their specialty catfish over all four sessions!!

I am predicting 33 pounds - or an 11 lb. per session average. Of course, I plan to weigh 20 pounds in both Sessions on Saturday and just take the Sunday session easy, maybe go Crappie fishin!!

We also need to ask for NumbNut predictions. My initial list of possible suspects is BassTraveler, HubSpinner, sTony, Angel and Mr. Bonham. This list may grow as the weekend gets closer!!

Lance · Post by **Lance** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 2:59 pm

For the Numbnut prediction I want to put my name foward

ash · Post by **ash** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:29 pm

I will go out there and say it 40lbs takes this one down.

Predictions for Numbnut - HubSpinner, Coochie coochie coo, and Myself - something tells me I may be a lock in for the numbnut as this is my first rally and I am riding up with Brian - Backseat- Day.

Predictions for the guy who diserves NumbNut but wont get it Lee "Thread Nazi" Hines - just for having that mustache.

Guess who just got added to the Pre-registration for the NumbNut award.....SOCB. You guys gotta learn, don't mess with one of the three guys who have a say on the awarding of the precious numbnut.

But that 'stache has done wonders for his career

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:12 pm

Add 1 more vote for Hub Spinna - damn dude, you are gonna win it before we even get there.

gt5bass · Post by **gt5bass** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:14 pm

Ya threaten that every year...this year I think we will have a coup and the nefarious Gator will git what he rightly deserves...the NumbNut

Wolfeman · Post by **Wolfeman** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:20 pm

This might be the year that the Big Nut record falls, what with all of you guys morgaging your kids college education for some of those Shell Cracker baits.

My memory is a little vague on some of the details but I'm sure some of the old timers can correct me and fill in the blanks.
I remember that it was one of the early rallys, maybe the first one, our of Anchorage Inn.
I think the kid's name was Chris, his Dad was Terry Christianson (I think). He was 13 or 14 and caught a hawg that I think went in excess of 13 pounds. He was fishing with Stickbait and was using a 'custom' jig that Stickbait gave him. I know at the time that it was the biggest bass caught in any Rally in the US. Probably still is.

Gentleman, start your swimbaits.

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:24 pm

Yup Wolfeman, that would have been Little TopCat. I'll see if I can find the old pics and results for the actual details!!

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 5:46 pm

Damn - don't have any of the pics. It will just have to be a fond memory. I'll send an email to TopCat and see if he has one.

Don't count me out for Numbnut. I'm bringing a surprise.

Johnny C · Post by **Johnny C** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 6:40 pm

I'm gonna show them C Lake donkeys a bait they haven't seen..If ya want to see it I am fishing all week in a pink and mauve Procraft and will be wearing a Seig Taylor mask!!!!!!!

Dont give Gator all the credit for the Mustache rumor has it he was the fifth queen and stole his look from this guy

Now Gator go up to the Rally and go STICK some bASS

Johnny C · Post by **Johnny C** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 7:38 pm

Those pics are not right SOCB...If Gator is the new Top Nut he will have to sing "We are the Champions"..

Johnny C · Post by **Johnny C** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 7:41 pm

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 7:45 pm

Lemme see....We are the Champions my friend..and we'll keep on fightin, til the end............We are the Champions......We are the Champions.....no time for ....

Ok - I think I've got it - I will sing when I win (NOT).

RichThiel · Post by **RichThiel** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 8:25 pm

Gator,

I you sing, then you will receive the "Numbnut Award" for SURE. The other factor if NOT, would be if Coochie does the "Pole Dance" after a case of Red Bull sing'in Wadda, Wadda, Wadda.

Rich

Cooch · Post by **Cooch** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 9:19 pm

thinkin about me doin any kinda pole dance, has gotta be numb in several areas! HAR! HAR! HAR! Theil just took a vote up on ole HubSpinner!

I don't know what the winning weight will be, but second will have fallen 2 pounds short of my sack! I'll win it the same way I won the Shindig, Baby bass Lunker Punker baby!

And from the looks of it, only singing Gator gonna be doin is a lil YMCA diddy! HAR! HAR! HAR!

Dewayne · Post by **Dewayne** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 10:03 pm

Could go higher if the afternoon session Saturday is productive. Nothing that will touch the record for Big Nut though. We might see some Numb Nut records fall with Coochie in attendance.

Hey Sieg - You up for a side bet for biggest crappie. I figure we will be done bass fishing Saturday morning at about 8:00am. Will need something to do the rest of the morning session.

Cooch - Is that 2# short by your eye or a scale? If'n its your eye, they will win by 3#. BBWWAAHHH!!!

I'll be lucky to catch 25# myself.

fishyd · Post by **fishyd** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 6:57 am

I am coming to the scales with 12 each time. Can't wait Top nut first time out.

Come on Rally'ers - I know you can all talk smack better than this. Rally is less than 5 days away - wo0ho0!!

Dewayne · Post by **Dewayne** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:17 am

Let's hear it. Quit whining that there is no smack unless you have some to dish out yourself.

PS - What time we starting the night tournament on Thursday? I may not be up till 8:00. Let's at least get a weight in time set in advance.

Sounds like the wife and kids are staying home, so I might even be up for a poker lession. It sure looks like a fun game. Will I need more than $100?

Calistar · Post by **Calistar** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:19 am

With all these "name" sticks that will be in attendance, I find it odd that the new TopNut will be backseater from Folsom (of all places)

Hmmm...Isn't it true that the topnut gets to choose the location of the Winter Rally?

Marty · Post by **Marty** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:35 am

No worries Calistar - I will pick a good place that everyone will enjoy!

mac (Doyle McEwen) · Post by **mac (Doyle McEwen)** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:45 am

Now that I almost have jigs figured out, I expect to catch a full limit for the first time at a Rally..With a lot of luck, I might even weigh enough to win top nut honors..Now Gator mentioned a big weight for catfish..Now all he will catch are those whiskered demons..A person can hope can't they..

mac

Pil9rotten · Post by **Pil9rotten** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:55 pm

I say 45 lbs. and it will come from a wise *** driving a tin boat.

"Hmmm...Never seen a tin boat painted in junebug with red glitter"

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:59 pm

I tell ya what Kenji - if that freakin tin rocket looks like it did at the last Rally you attended, we'll need our sunglasses before daylight!! Sheesh that thing had a SHINE!! I was just out riggin rods.....gonna be leavin EARLY Thursday morning so I can fish most of the day. Then get back in around dinner time to check in and start the BS sessions with all the early arrivals!! And whiskerfish are not on my menu, but if I catch one I will damn sure bring it in. If it will fit in the livewells with the three 8 pounders I plan to bring in each session!!

mac (Doyle McEwen) · Post by **mac (Doyle McEwen)** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 3:30 pm

OK, now that we know Gator is going to cheat by weighing in 3 fish each session, what say we just hang him now and save the expenses of a trial..Looks like a numbnut to me..

mac

Gator · Post by **Gator** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 3:34 pm

See, I still had the Texas Rally on the brain. OK - I will weigh in two 9 pounders per session.

mac (Doyle McEwen) · Post by **mac (Doyle McEwen)** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 3:56 pm

Lets see, Lee started with three eight pounders and a cat, now he is down to two nine pounders..Already lost five pounds..At this rate he just might weigh in a fish sometimes during the festivities..I wish you luck ..

OK Mac - I'll offer to take you out prefishing. I know where there is a 30 foot hole with a rockpile....will you hold this anchor for me........

And Mike....I'd mess with you but there are times when your expertise is invaluable....so I will refrain.....til we get to Clearlake!!

If'n I draw Cooch......I am just going too drop him in, smile and say it was a accident.

And Keep His Crackers..HARHARHAR

wats 20 pounds a session= oh ya, 60 right

mac (Doyle McEwen) · Post by **mac (Doyle McEwen)** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:29 pm

Geeeeez, you try to do a buddy a favor, and now he wants me to go swimming with his anchor to make sure it is working..I just don't know Gator, perhaps I should have said nothing about the three fish..You really can weigh three, but only two of them can be bass..There, feel better now..

mac

Pil9rotten · Post by **Pil9rotten** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:31 pm

Or is that the look of being Green with envy?

Step aside and let the real sailor show ya how it's done!

sTony · Post by **sTony** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 7:36 am

Alrighty then, rule of thumb is if you can bring in eight pounds per session you'll finish top ten. The bite might be a bit tougher then most figure it to be but this hot weather might turn that around. I think the angler that can average 10 pounds per session will win.

Personally I'm looking for six 5 pounders and the win baby!

sTony

Dewayne · Post by **Dewayne** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 7:53 am

30 will be a good sack. Not enough, but a good sack.

mac (Doyle McEwen) · Post by **mac (Doyle McEwen)** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 7:58 am

Man, a whole bunch of dreamers and schemers..If I catch a fish, I will consider myself fortunate..If I catch six of them, then I just might start thinking I am good at this game..In any case, 36 pounds is gonna be what it takes to walk away with the Top Nut title..I just hope I ain't the "Bottom Nut" again..
