Well, I just don't know what to say after reading that.. ah who in the hell am I kidding yes I do... Thanks Michael for the post and thank you all that posted on this thread with the congrats. Thanks Terry it was nice meeting you and thank you for the critique. Honestly I think when your a reptile guy and you have "fish guys" judging reptiles sometimes it worries you. I am happy to say that I took that mount to 4 shows and it only had a variance of 2 points from 4 different judges. Now thats something. Three judges scored it the EXACT same score and only one judge scored it 2 points different. Terry I appreciate your honesty and input and yes you nailed it. Everything you said was wrong with it was right on. No arguments here. It's nice to see the consistency in the industry in the judging. Thanks for signing my ribbons as well and yes you will see something bigger and better at WTC 2011 if your there.
Joe what do you mean, Dan was Dan, you should so lucky that I let you sit by me...
I mean most of the Michigan guys were pretty cool but you .... Nah just joking man your a blast just like the rest of the heathens.
Brian was just on good behavior because he had his boy with him.... because believe me he's no angel...
Brian I mean that in the most respectful way...
Brian you did awesome man. Congrats. It's nice to be able to have talented friends like you in the industry because I get to say look what my buddy did! I still really love that damn Koi of yours. I was going through pictures from the show and my kids were looking over my shoulder as I went through them and as soon as that rock bass came up my daughter screamed out, "go back dad whose was that!" Out of all the pictures of the fish thats the one that stood out to her and it wasn't the picture with all the ribbons and awards on it... I know she is no judge but for her to get excited about one fish out of all the photos of fish that were there, it must mean something. Congrats again Brian and next time you might as well just bring a uhaul... LOL
