[Gordie]

well what happened lets get the detail

[Scott M]

Got your message elwood but I had to leave at noon for other commitments. Only saw some bluegills while I was there. AT 3 a little birdy said nothing had come through still.

Nice to meet merkman, laska, and mrs. laska, and I didn't catch the name of the other fellow I helped cut the hole with. Sorry bud, I'll remember to ask next time.

[Gordie]

da_chise I remembered that right after I hung up. was hopeing to get on BNS nerves I got that message as well from that little bird but it wasnt singing that nice of a song

Glad to hear you had a good time Scott

I take it that BNS's saw stayed above the ice this time

[Laska]

Saw was good, merk, his wife n I saw the only pike, Ill let merk tell the story of it coming in.... Beautifull day to be out but the Nord-Lord trophy stays with elwood for this year, dont worry tho gordie ill get it from ya next year!

[Gordie]

I gave it up for the day to let the trohpy try and leave my possesion but it knows how the real Nord-Lord is so I will take care of it(the trophy)until the next gathering.

Not much for names to write on the trophy for this season.

[bassNspear]

throw that trophy away!!!!!!!

[Gordie]

well I might as well cause you'll never get it at the rate your going

Next time I'm gonna hang it on the HBS and show you guys how to spear a pike

[bassNspear]

did you get one on clearwater with it??????

[Gordie]

didnt use it cause I was giving you a fair chance

[bassNspear]

i havent seen one fish in the 6 get to gators!

[bassNspear]

no need to worry about me!!

[merkman]

Some pics from the get to gator.

We didn't get a group pic this time.

[merkman]

My wife and I had a great time at the Get to Gator.

Not much to see most of the day, then Laska came over and we started yacking. We got all caught up in the conversation about the Perham decoy show and since we hadn't seen anything all day so I stopped looking down the hole.

Then I hear holly!!!

And the decoy line was headed right under my feet.

The pike hit my live decoy and took off like a rocket under the ice.

I grabbed the spear and gave the decoy line a yank and the pike came back though the hole as fast as he went out of it.

Back and forth two more times and I didn't have a good enough shot with the spear. So I passed on throwing at him.

Then the pike spit out the live decoy and sat down on the bottom of the lake just out of spearing range.

He just sat there looking at everything and I tried jigging him back in but no luck.

Finally he just swam away never to come back.

So the Nord-Lord trophy stays in Elwoods hands once again.

Bummer!!

No fish to clean anyway.

[Gordie]

sounds like a good time sure wish I would have been there and not hanging sheetrock. Can't wait for the next GTG we'll have to hit a lake up North like in the brainerd area

[bassNspear]

im open for anything!

[Laska]

As long as I have a month n a half notice I can make a gtg up north, brainerd area sounds fun, like next year I'm traveling more, should be a lot of fun plus ill be entering most of the nfda shows next year, should be fun to spear all over the state instead of mostly south like the last 2 seasons, like to try winnie, ND, and rainy lake next year for sure, and most definitely get heidi to spear one, although I'm trying a new spot on sakatah this weekend so maybe she'll get one then but for sure I'm making both GTG's next season!!! gotta get the elwood look-alike trophy

[hawkeye43]

The guy on my wheeler is behindthehead. I couldn't get home from the wedding sat. night and girls basketball on sunday in time to get out there. Sure wish I had a simple life.

[shamalex72]

how many people made it to this one?

[merkman]

8 of us this time, counting behindthehead

I still don't know why I didn't get a group pic.

[bassNspear]
