Hey guys, my name is Courtland… If I promise to ante up after you guys deal out the cards, is it okay if I play poker too? I swear, I will promise to ante up just as soon as you deal the cards… Hmmm… I see that you have all put your money in and someone has flipped a pair of queens… Hey guys, looks like I need to get home. I’m really not sure that I really had time to play anyway. Maybe I will catch you guys next time around. Good thing I didn’t pay before the game started, right? Wasn’t that the rule?
Courtland, it is now the 13th day of 17 days to fish. I guess IF I ever try to set up something again, it will never be this kind of time window to allow everyone to get out there on a day that’s safe AND convenient to their crew. Sometimes the stars won’t align no matter how hard you try. That seems to have happened to you, and I know it happened to me. I fished anyhow though. Everything worked out well for me too, albeit not for a win here. It literally all came together the afternoon before we fished.
I think it’d be good for you to say right here and now whether your money really is in the mail or if it’s not. It is totally unfair for you to decide the day before whether you’ll commit to this or not because the other two people who put their money up for this thing fully committed to it before competition began, and they went fishing and gave it their best shot. I see that you’ve said that you’d send people money if you didn’t fish or not send money if you do fish and win. You really can just let us know whether your money is on the way to 23Sailfish now or if it’s not. Then, none of us will have to worry about how this will turn out anymore.
We organized this thing, and I put my money in the pot for friendly competition. I didn’t do well, but for the sake of why I went to all the trouble to get out there and try as hard as I could, I’d like to see your crew compete since we were all under the impression that you would do so when Nov. 26 came around. If it’s maybe or you’re not sure, then say so immediately. You won’t owe anybody anything. This was all just friendly competition on the honor system. Nobody is going to say you didn’t follow the rules if you pony up and then win. Nor will we say that you didn’t follow the rules if you don’t pony up. We will, however, bring up the fact that you said explicitly that you were going to be in this and that the money was on the way. If you intended on never ponying up or fishing, that is fine. That could be a smart move. If you inten

I had every intention to fish during the run-up to this event. Enexpected changes to mine and my crew plans lead me to not fish, and this was posted when it happened. After much prodding, I ponied up late as asked, still not knowing if I could actually fish, and still don’t.
So now, you have my $, and I might be able to fish. What more is there?
SJ- You really are sad.

Cool. You have been fishing a good bit lately, and I think you’ll bring home some good fish. Hope everything works out for y’all. I’ll try and get out there and redeem myself with the grouper this weekend if the weather allows. The grays and reds bit well for us Saturday- just weren’t big enough to keep.

I’m not the one that was trying to weasel out of a bet, make excuses using other people’s personal misfortune which you posted on a public forum, and flaunting charitable donations in public to a bunch of strangers in hopes to get a humanity award.
Maybe I’m just jeaous of the guy who has 5000 hours of safe operation under his belt in 2 years of fishing who can’t find a single day to fish in a 3 week event… How many hours are in 2 years anyway… Oh, nevermind… Yeah, maybe that’s it…
This is srarting to get real ugly. Im sorry for my comments to you SJ, was just messing with you, Didnt mean to mess up your day.

Did I say in the last 2 years? I didn’t think so. Do you see what everyone else does? You lose credibility with every word you type. The thing that is particularly dissappointing are the personal remarks towards people you don’t know. For someone of your manliness and honorability, you’re still just sad.
Check your PMs Please.

You started this whole thing. I might have taken the first jabs on this thread, but you had a hard on for me on the other thread. That’s what this is about. It’s your turn now.
Lose credibility with who? The Grand Fishing Council of Charleston? I will still fish with my friends and you will still fish with yours.
Relax man. You said, “keep the comedy coming” and now I am making fun of you. Isn’t that exactly what you wanted? It’s good comedy too. Thanks for providing me with so much material (the private PM thing was classic!). Maybe it’s not as funny as you thought when the laugh was on you.
What personal remarks? You mean the one towards you? Get disappointed all you want. I’m about 99% sure that you started them. I will hand it to you though. You’ve got some good techniques. You pulled out the charity card. That usually wins over a lot of support. It’s the “Hey look at me, I’m really a good guy!!!” card. Even though most of us on here are able to donate to Charity through payroll deductions, etc and we do it for ourselves in a private fashion, not to flaunt it on the internet to win over a random audience. I know a lot
