Never a big fan of the contests.....always turns into some pissing contest! The only contest I like is the one with myself! And I always win! You can keep the contests.......I will be there but could care less about them!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Sorry if any feathers were ruffled by my vague comment.

I was talking about a bondo and repaint I did on a big Lupo danny that won Best Representation of a Classic. Thus my blushing smiley about being embarassed for it.

My point was that my pretty paint job should not have beaten out guys who fabricated representations of classic plugs from start to finish.

my memory isn't what it used to be but I'll take a stab at it

1. Rookie
2. classic
3. general

then the goofball or unfishable???

it's just a fun competition where the winners get twinkees and a certificate and braging rights.

Frank, I don't see why you can't use a kit body to start with, especially if you're a rookie.

Slip, you guys that started plugfest in your garage wasn't it originally should make the final decision on who does what. I think I'm going to hit Larry's and turn a couple anyways. I have done beans yet this fall or winter. Have been to busy with everything else. I appreciate all the feedback. Tanks.
