**DISCLAIMER**
During last year's smacktalk post for the rally and in a few for the mini rallies some people ignored the disclaimer and responded and/or posted in the smacktalk thread THEN they wanted to be all hurt and sad when they got slammed so..........once again........this thread is for smacktalk only. If you feel the need to wish people luck, tell them to be safe, compliment their fishing abilities or any other fluffy stuff........post it elsewhere. In addition, if you do not wish to be involved in or subjected to smacktalk do not post. ANY post in this thread will be taken as an indication that you have entered the arena and think you can smack. This year there will be no post smack apologies so if you are thin skinned and/or sensitive please go read the daily funnies. I would also like to say that the last couple smacktalk threads have been rather weak. If you feel as if your smacktalk post is below standard then it probably is and the rest of us can do without it.
First off I would like to thank Brad for worrying about me and the smacktalk thread. It is an honor to know that a member of Team Fluke is concerned about me.
Note to all anglers.....if you see stumps on your right that are completely out of water and forty feet of water to a mud flat on left....it is probably not a good idea to run your boat in between them....SHOCKER....gonna get stuck...then your buddies have to come see you wade in your underwear. Think of others.
Looks as though we have had some folks back out of this year's rally or were not attending at all. That is a shame, however, I am glad to see the Battlecreek boys coming back down. Can't wait to see those northerners throw jerkbaits in the flowers on Kentucky Lake.....luck to ya fellas.
Don't show up on the last day of the tourney and wonder where the card game is....here is a hint...when you see people loading their trucks and Daniel is surrounded by smoke as he cooks.....the rally is wrapping up...come earlier.
At this year's rally there will be a sleeper rule. If by unfortunate circumstance you fall asleep in a public access area there will a penalty and it will probably involve body decoration and pics.
Wow Eric that is great. Maybe this year you can take pics of all the two pounders you catch.
Dear Kyle...I have some ADVISE for you and I hope you take this ADVISE. I would ADVICE you to bring your own beer. Nobody is interested in contributing to the deliquency of a minor.
Ken is a really good poker player. Check out his stack. (Ken is the one on the right)
In the above picture some of you may have noticed the expression on Cassell's face (one without the hat). It all worked out though for him. His hair fell back into place the next morning with just a extra shot of gel.
Hey Cassell and Daniel...it is not impressive to catch keepers on a spot that was hand delivered to you by a guide. While I am glad you all caught some fish and had some fun, fishing somebody else's fish does not make you KVD. Here is a novel idea....spend some time looking for your own fish and catch those.
Whoever is fishing with Dave this weekend gets the "I love Dave and want to be a guide too one day" award for this rally. Easy way out of some competition I think.
On that note Dave...I say put your money in and bring your stuff on Saturday. I will be on fish by then and I tend to be a big fish guy. I promise I won't get on any public forums and discuss how I beat you and your "partner" on MY lakes.
Allen....I have not heard any talk of any Hooters girls coming this year. I know you usually use this time to get your fix for the year but I hope you come anyway. It will take bigger fish than you caught at Rough to get a picture taken anyway.
Hey Brad....how bout you abide by creel limits at the rally and not pose with 27 keeper fish at once. There is no slot at the big ponds so it should be easier for you to manage.
Ohio people.....PLEASE at least go the speed limit on the way down and try to keep it between the yellow and white lines.
Tennessee people....can't wait to hear you sing Rocky Top and wear that real manly orange you all love so much.
Indiana people....ahhh....nuff said. Indiana....whatever. We will try to have enough government cheese so you all can take some home.
This year there will be a Chevy sponsored team at our rally. Just speaking for myself I have to admit that all those stickers look impressive but when you get down to it.....you all will have to be called the "buy here, pay here" team. Three cars in a front yard does not qualify as a Chevy dealer. Also, Triton gold does not apply at the rally. Believe it or not the rally is for fun and there is no money to be made. I realize as borderline pros that you fish to pay the bills but we won't need to see the team shirts at the rally please.
Bring your poker money. The entertainment for the night will be when Kyle wins a hand and starts the fist pumping, high pitched screeching of celebration when he gets a pair of nines and wins 7 chips.
Rally schedule:
Wednesday night...talk about props
Thursday night.....talk about jackplates
Friday night......talk about everybody's new carpet.
Remember to bring your own beverages. Just because you are a good guy and have a nice boat does not mean you are getting any of my cooly pops.
There will be a counseling session on Friday morning for those of us who saw Hibbard in his skivies at Barren.
Jeff (JC25)....bad news bro...there are spots in these lakes....remember your flash cards slick.
If for any reason you are afraid of small rodents, bugs, birds, fish or squirrels I can recommend that you stay at home. This is a rally....with boats....and fishing....OUTSIDE....with critters. Can't change that.
Hey Buck...got any donuts? Do I smell bacon? Where is your boat? Have you ever won a rally? There you go....I got all the very funny and deep hurting posts you people normally put up in reference to me. As usual I am in stitches laughing already.
I am done for now. Please remember to keep all the attacks personal in nature. If for any reason you post in this thread and regret it please IM me and I will have your post and any rebuttles removed....I will then alert the others that your panties are in a knot. I would hope that we do a better job of smacktalking than in the past but I also understand that most of you are very mature and responsible adults and don't like such foolishness. For those who decide to participate........DING! DING!
Buck
P.S.--For those of you who are coming to their first rally and may not know anybody and wish to join in we welcome you. You will get no "first timer" sympathy though.
