Early Vegas odds for The ICE series champion AKA "The World's Greatest Ice Angler"

[Scott Steil]

I was going to try to get my odds changed to "the long shot 200-1" but I see I was dropped from the list. This is probably a good thing, I am getting old, slow and I rely on my GPS now to remember spots.

Scott,

I don't think it has to do as much with your age. I think it has more to do with the Mercury in all of those Shiners that you eat.

[Scott Steil]

I'm Shocked! I do plan on attending all of the events The Hubby and I have to sit down and figure out if we can make it to all of the events together or my dad is able to fish with me also - He's pretty good at Mille Lacs and LOW. Red Lake should be no problem me being I.B.O.T. #59 and all - I hope the Crappie Gods are happy with me at that time. Winni is my downfall have only fished it once or twice years ago. The other possible conflict is if The Hubby doesn't want to go with me I drive a car with no trailer hitch Walking out on the lake wouldn't be so fun. I am hooking up the computer at home this weekend so The Hubby can keep up to date on these things.
Thank you for the show of support . I think 2 - 1 is admirable. I am looking forward to meeting more of you soon.
Keep Smiling.

4-1 now? Don't the odds makers know that I still don't have an auger? Those fish better be aggressive to break through a foot of ice to hit my topwater presentation. My hooking percentage will be very low

On the brite side, I just got my bio bait test packets. It looks like Rice Krispies though. A real bad breakfast joke just popped in my head.

[bucks-n-ducks]

so what kind of odds would a person like me have???? I fish LOW alot in the winter, I haven't fish a ICE event, but am looking at probably fishing all four this year....What kind of odds would you give me??? Just wondering if I have to put some cash on me. The extra cash would come in handy haha

Bucks-n-ducks

[Rick]

Bucks-n-ducks

with a name like yours, if it was a fall event Vegas would probably give you pretty good odds.

We all know IceLeaders Pro Staff are going to be out there helping those in need. You might have long odds on lake of the woods if Steil is out helping the less fortunate. He'll give you a wide berth there.

Right now there has been no money placed on you. My guess is you will come in pretty high being a bucks and ducks fan....are you living in Anaheim (Ducks) and originally from Milwaukee (bucks)???

[Paul Waldowski]

This just in!!!! Scott Steil has agreed to pair up with Bucks-n-ducks bringing up Scott's chances considerably.

Odds are now down to 157-1 for Scott Steil & bucks-n-ducks. The downside is bucks-n-ducks odds of being able to survive a night of partying with Scott are 1,000,000,000,000 to 1.

[Dennis Steele]

19-1?
I would have thought my odds would be a little better since I will be helping out at weigh ins!

[bucks-n-ducks]

well......how does that sound Scott??? I think we could take them odds and prove everyone wrong!!!! I would not bet on them odds with the partying, I turned 21 in September and I ain't a real primed partying machine yet....but oh well. Let me know Scott

bucks-n-ducks

PS I'm neither a ducks or a bucks fan!! And neither bucks or ducks look forward to seeing me!!

[Scott Steil]

I will be there to "have more fun". If I do try to find the ice it will have to be with my old partner, seasoned vetran angler Duck-O-Holic. He is a great sleeper...he can actually sleep on a 5 gallon bucket, sitting up, without leaning on anything and not sway back & forth. Plus, he can eat way more shiners than I can.

I do have a back up partner lined up also. Adam Adler, my guide partner. He can eat more shiners then Duck-O-Holic and doesn't nap until the event is over usually.

Lotsa nickles just in on Dennis Steele... that was an overlay if I ever did see one! Is Secretariat in this thing? Hey ebass if she jumps up and out of a hole in the ice she still counts...drill lots of holes eh?

[EBass]

I just inquired about an auger. Don't count me out just yet.

[Jim W]

Someone has to be out of their minds!?!?!

Don't put your money down on Dennis. He has a history of breaking stuff during tournaments and events!!!
Also word is out he is't very good in practicing selective harvest on "the other guys" waters!!!!lol

[CNY Tim]

If it's walleyes your fishing for my votes for T-Bone and WallEYES... Sentimental favorite? Ay yup you betcha...

[mistermom]

I wouldn't even give you 5-1 that my wife will let me fish any of these even with my son's help.

Da Godfather says, "Its better to fish for da fishes den to sleeps wit dem!"

[wastewaterguru]

2-1 for Dennis........????????????

Let's see...top ten reasons Dennis should be more like 50,000-1.

1. The RiverPro doesn't help on hard water.

2. He can't see his new Marcum through the smoke in his shack.

3. He can't tell he even has a rod in his hand after holding his 9 foot surf rods all summer.

4. He drives a Ford.

5. He can't figure out how to get a 50 pound flathead through a 6 inch hole.

6. .....

7. .....

8. .....

9. .....

10. .....

Let's see what else you guys can add to that list....

[Rick]
