Man, I was in for the 11th but now that it's the 18th I'm out cuz got prior commitment on 18 th.

I would like to fish this tournament but I am going to have to find a babysitter. My wife is running in a 5K that morning. I love taking my kids fishing but they are a little young for tournament fishing.

I fished 2 tournaments last season with all 3 kiddos. Trust me its better than coffee trying to fish with them.... had fun tho!

My kids like to fish, it is just the tournament might be little much for them. They would tire out and get cranky way before weigh in.

Is it time yet !

Yup sure is see you guys tomorrow.

Hey, where you guys at, I'm at the ramp waiting!!!!

Cabin fever has y'all a little confused

Hey guys, with all this toury talk, any news on schedule for next year? Id like to fish a few if yall venture a little south. Also twonk is always on the radar.

It is not cabin fever at it is a lack of sleep with a newborn and one teething.

I got a trip on the 18th or I would be there...Hoping to make the classic, but I have to fly to Pittsburgh sunday...trying to get that booked a day later so I can fish!

If your scared just say your scared , we don't judge

Not sure what yall think but im doing the wooping this time

Bout time chicken pluckin season got here!!!!

All this chicken talk has gotten me hungry!
Maybe someone needs to bring KFC to the morning meeting.

Terry your begginers luck has ran out , its a shame cause your gonna need it on grapevine.

If we are doing chicken I prefer wings. But my favorite is sour gummy worms. Oh and I got this tourney in the bag.

Eric only bag you got has huggies written on the side

No it is actually pampers. Get it right!!

Ewww baby rash , Pampers keep ya up at night LOL

turning tournament smack talk into daddy daycare = Priceless

Drawout, you might want to bring some baby wipes, so those younguns can clean up after the seasoned fellers whoop that tail!!!!

With a quarter of the lake now passable by foot, should help with the fish stacking?

I might be young but had a good teacher

Extended forcast says rain everyday that week of the tournament.

Fish like rain.

When I get done. Everyones boat will be on craigslist. Get ready for a beating. This rookie is taking home the money.

Eric, sounds like you and I are in the same boat. Team pampers for the win!!!

Don't count your chickens for they hatch ya never know who might show up

Randy needs his little streak broken lol!

Don't worry about Randy he will still have football on the brain did someone mention chicken and eggs I'm getting hungry . We play for bread and meat we don't win we don't eat lol jk yall know I'm gonna eat regardless

All we need is Betty & Deanna to make tacos for breakfast at every tourney and we will have huge turnouts. That was some good stuff.

Randy who? What streak? LOL

Easy on randy , I just hope to caught 5 fish

Yeap , you guys can't loose if you don't show up.

Oh you want get that lucky I will be there

Woohoo smack talking is working , at least this thread is yellow when I log in and it has new comments, who else can I harass let's see .... Where you at Ssfireman you ought a still be riding a high from lake fork win so come out and get in on this . Mickey mptree big mick , I know you may have lost your password so u may have a new username but you still read these forums get off the couch and come teach us something don't forget to bring tinycat nelson with you I know he knows a thing or three about ol grapevine .cant call out mounger he's retired and making babies . I'll think of some more soon haha

see how sure you are I have hopes in one good fish anyway lol! I may catch a few but since Paul caught a new dinky pb I hope this rain comes and helps out a bit or I'm in the dinky contest with paul lol

Learning from some of the best already puts us young'ens ahead of the game

Absolutely ! Now we just gotta talk them off the couch so we know how we stack up , In all honesty im just messing with everyone ive only been on grapevine once and that was a couple years back in march NTTC tournament

Ive never fished it. Beginners luck for me

I've fished it several times and really stink at it. I'm just a blind hog looking for an acorn so I don't starve to death.

Spray some gasoline on your baits tourney day and hold on

Dang you Johnny, Jimbo did that the week before last and it did not help, now I know where he came up with it.

Gas. Well I have been using diesel. Guess I need to switch

GREAT DRAWOUT! Wake up the GIANTS! Petree, Steve, SSfireman!

It's tough enough competing against you guys!

I was just starting to feel good that Smokey wasn't going to be there to smoke us!

Nope , Don't do it, I'm telling ya the gas Did Not Work.

I am out of options looks like I just need to give money to Deanna and go home.

Na that my job. Really figured I just needed to right the check to team Rictor with all the big fish y'all been catching.

Don't sweat it , they most likely forgot how to find blues I think most of them are chasing the striped creatures or gearing up for hunting

I think we are safe it is not ray bob or texoma.

Sorry drawout I dont hunt much but I have been in alaska chasing big ones so I am ready for some big cats.

Welcome to the Fun SSfireman.

Just got news Jimbo has a 173 lb stringer on grapevine # holy smokes !!!

Did you forget a decimal point?

That is a nice stringer

I also heard that the 50lbers are stacked up like a cord of wood at the dam

only reason jimbo had a 173 pound stringer is because i tied a rope around my neck and jumped overboard

All i can say is

You dog ! Show these guys some pics like you were sending me today

I bet it was a bunch of carp in his cast net.

Or he pulled hurricane out of the water

hurricane was in a bow stand, he had this epic day all on his own.

Was it an epic day in the stand?

Jimbo must be resting after catching all those fish.

What ramps are usable?

The lakeview north ramp is usable.just stay to the left and its a little more even

Thanks

Ended a couple of pigs, Friday.
Got a really nice gobbler this morning 12-1/2" beard and 1-1/8" spurs.

Not bad when's the cook out

That's enough of that hunting talk ! we talk diapers and monster blues only here

+1 there is texashuntingforum.com

Had to do something to get more people to chime in.

did someone say deer hunting??

Get out of here knucklehead ! Unless ya got more of Mr.P brisket then your very welcome LOL

Since Jjason chimed in he needs to fish grapevine and bring bbq for everyone.

no can do.

I am in the middle of Re-Powering my rig. Motor will be delivered tommorow, but im doing some other stuff to the boat , so it wont be installed and done for a few weeks.

Maybe we should start using "BS" for blue cat bait, sure seams to attract cat fish fishermen even the old ones that don't even remember what a blue cat looks like.

How long should my gummy worms soak in dead red?

Cats are blue?? Now I am confused

TTT. How many do we have ready for the 18th.

Johnny check my math

My partner and I will be there to take the money and 1st place trophy

Oh lord this is gonna take a while ...

Angler of the Year (For Active Members Only)
Beginning January 2014, points will be calculated for tournaments held in 2014 only. Points will be calculated using four factors for final calculation. The end result is simple, the angler (team) with the highest points at the end of the season will be declared Angler of the Year.
Points will be awarded for the following items:
o Place
o Number of FishWeighed
o TotalWeight
o Big FishWinner of the Tournament – 2.5 points
Place points are awarded in descending order beginning at 100, and stepping down one point for each place you are from first. First place awarded 100, second 99, third 98 and so on. In the event of a tie, we will defer to the team with the highest weight for their big fish. Any team that does not weigh-in fish, will be placed in last place and all “no weight” anglers will receive the same number of points for the last place finish.
Count points will be awarded in 5 point increments for each fish weighed, for a maximum of 25 points.Weight points will be awarded in the following buckets and will be based on total weight:

0.01 to 25.00 lbs
=
5 points
25.01 to 50.00 lbs
=
10 points
50.01 to 70.00 lbs
=
15 points
70.01 to 125.00 lbs
=
20 points
125.01 to 175.00 lbs
=
25 points
175.01 lbs and greater
=
30 points

Now your argument is that all you have to do is catch 5 fish and you have AOY so Hypothetical situation lets say 12 teams show up

you catch 5 4 lbers and have a total of 20 lbs and you end up in 8th place and you will earn 92 points for 8th 25 points for 5 fish and 5 points for 20 lbs total 122 points bring you total up to 669 points
Team ward catches 5 fish for total of 78 lbs and wins 1st place so 100 for first 25 for 5 fish 20 for weight and possibly 2.5 for big fish total 147.5 points would bring our grand total up to 670 we would be leading heading into classic , I know that's a whole lot of ifs and maybes but just saying don't get to comfy

It may not be between us and you but im betting the classic will be a nail biter

Im gonna have a hard time moving up.lol

Never know Terry crazy things happen when the pressure is on

It gonna take alot of luck for me. Ive never even been on that lake. I dont even know what it looks like.lol. but im gonna give it all

Wow that's quite a formula for AOY!

You like that , take notes Only thing I do not like is the fact that if there is only 10 teams showing up its too hard to make up points .

Catch bigger fish then Johnny lol

Not just me its a close race

I appreciate that Mr. Ward. I feel like I learned something today.

Gonna learn more then that on October 18th JACK !

Better watch it!!! Those Miles boys have a habit of sneaking up on ya!!!

Tom you meant the Mize boys

And real good on gvine I heard

Real threat is Jimbo he's putting some time in and has them dialed in

I have so much time in that they here the sound of my big johson and they're gonna stack up in the spot and miles/yell walks away with the first place win. So ya'll better soak them gummy worms a good while

Who is the Other rookie

i beleive your the only one

ROY , Terry, I think you got that wrapped up, all you gotta do is show up. They have failed to fish 2 times so they cannot catch you as long as you fish the rest of the tournaments.

I know the Miles boys are always able to pull a great stringer. Just like the professor. Oh and maybe ward ward

Jimbo still waiting on pictures of last weekend

I figured that I just want them there. I would rather win it with challenge. Lol

We will come fish just for the fun of it if it makes you feel better. Lol

Probably gonna get in a bind for this, Johnny, don't tell Jimbo I posted this either

Not just for fun Shane , you could still win some of these things and make us all look like clowns for talking smack.

Lol yeah I know

Hey you were sworn to secrecy your gonna give away Jimbo s honey hole

Shane come on out , the lakes pretty close to you and terry needs some competition

Glad I know that spot

Problem is I think we all know that spot....

If I were Jimbo I would be upset with the guy who posted the photos.

All I know is jimbo now needs a bigger net due to one of the massive blues breaking it , that's what I heard anyway

Yeap, think he mailed off the paperwork on that one on Monday.

Did he catch a record Paul?

Drawout you have a big pot stirred up lol!

Im comin for some of this fun!

Im trying boss ! Problem is were putting a lot of pressure on ol Jimbo so he may put a whoopin on all of us.

Hey jimbo is due for sure. But with the weather changing it is anyone's game

No sir , my fortune cookie assured me this tournament is mine

Actually it said this but I figure if I can catch those 6 fish I'll have a decent stringer:)

Dang you Johnny, Now I want Chinese food after the win.....

2 man/woman teams but kids under a certain age I think 16 are allowed in boat also

Hmmm ??? Guess I was dreaming when I posted but there was someone ahead of me asking what a team consist of Guess I scared them off

Someone said they wanted to fish and was curious about rules so I posted then when I rechecked forum there post was gone ? Nothing to see here just a bad case of cabin fever I guess

I saw it too Johnny....

Great, I thought I was losing it .

Not yet, but Paul told me you would lose it at the tourney.

Ouch that hurts ! Gonna be hard for him to beat me he has Jimbo as a partner and I have cursed him LOL I keep telling him hes gonna get skunked. Prob means I will

That curse is pretty powerful, last time Jimbo was on the lake, no one could catch fish till he left, then they started wearing them out. Think that's how it was maybe we should ask Kansascatman.
I do keep smelling skunk but believe its coming from Ward country.

That worked!! Got yall goin again. LOL

In the last tournament we fished, a simple pic of my stringer, made Johnny release all of his fish and come to the weigh in empty handed.
Now that's Defeat if you ask me! LOL.....

Hey that's one of my special baits ! And one heck of a prank for the girl (Deanna) checking the cooler during boat checks

Soooooo... Did Kansascatman go down to the vine and catch em some big girls Paul?

Think he caught a bunch after Jimbo left.

Now that would be funny.

Ooo that's just wrong , that's why that tournament needs to be for points it would make everyone actually show up and it would of made more fish come in to be weighed , in the future don't send me pics of anything over 20 during a tourny it sends me into panic mode

You lurkers reading need to throw in y'all's comment also , come everyone likes a little smack talk . Brain tx I know your keeping a close eye on this thread

He's not keeping his eyes closed, he's trying to sneak up on us with all this I got stay home and take care of my kids talk, when I know he just caught a new PB on the vine. He's gonna show up with a whip and a chair.

Where Is Vess? I know he can talk it up with the best of us.

Drawout what time are we meeting Monday for some prefishing at the vine

NO! NO! NO!, you two are not allowed to play together. I know what happened last time.

Hmmm so crazy it just may work, are car seats required on a boat ???

Which time Paul ? we do play well together if our dads ever retire you guys are doomed

I do agree there

Jimbo is gonna be sad, I think he's believing there is a front seat in your boat with his name on it if you dad retires. Ive had my eye on Randy's front seat since he got that fancy boat.

<< Jimbo I know ill be getting dirty text for this one

Wow that took a while to catch up on.

I will settle this. None of you guys have a chance. Blake and I got this one.

We have not fished in three months. We are back to beginers luck.

Hey now dont let your guard down on me yet. I think this new lake may be my prize.

I am back in. I found a babysitter. I've caught a couple of little ones this week. Nothing to write home about.

Here is one of the little ones...

That isn't even the new PB.

Nice one , only problem with it is tournament hours are from 7 till 2 pm

Bought me some 7lb trilene now stringing my poles

Would you prefer early morning?

Just know that your expected to win since that's your honey hole, no pressure . LOL Nice fish btw

Nice fish. Kiss it cause its your last

Nice Fishy Brian!

This is Grapevine we are talking about. It is a fickle beast, not a honey hole. Besides, ya'll are forgetting about Cap'n Dave.

Who's that ?

Brian's altered ego!

He is going to fish it with Smokey.

I we nt to the vine today and like every I was cursed. Lost a net, trim fuse blew, hat blew off my head and was nowhere to be found and to top it off my wallet fell out of my pocket when I was sitting on the rail. Oh I only caught 4 fish. But they were nice Ones

Anyone is allowed to win except Randy Miller and draw out. I am cheering for brian and smoky

Found your problem Eric ^ bananas are bad luck lol - your forgetting about miles brothers I gotta say if I wasn't fishing this thing my money Would be on them

I never allow them in the boat.

we caught a few fish there

I went out yesterday and caught a 152lbs stringer

Too bad it was at Twok

Is trailering allowed LOL'

According to Texas water data Grapevine dropped yesterday to 29.5 feet low making it at 17 percent capacity.... good news is as of today it is back up to 24.95 feet low and 26 percent capacity , so at this rate it should be good for the tournament on Saturday. LOL

Man 26% capacity! Ought to be like shooting fish in a barrel for you guys!!

Somebody must have pulled the plug!!!!

That's what I was thinking.

Noon. I had enough trouble launching last weekend

Noo. I had enough trouble launching last weekend

Uh oh I hear crickets chirping must be tournament week

I hear no crickets only the sound of spooling reels

thats no crickets you hear, thats all the crawfishing going on that you hear

I cant stand it no more. 2 more days of work

Which ramp is lake view south? This might be a dumb question bu on tpwd it does not show this ramp

When you come into lake view park it is immediately on the right just past the rest rooms.
If you go to the left it makes a loop to the north ramp.

Isn't the north ramp the best one ?

Yes, that is where I launched yesturday, but the meeting and weight in is at the south?

Thanks

Just sayin LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04KQydlJ-qc

I'm in and I going at it blind no pre fishing !
Drawout , just make your check out to me ! Save ken the hassle of going to the bank !

Lots of !!! Must mean your serious lol

Well things changed so I can't make it good luck fellas

There is no fish in that lake

Well all this hype and no results yet? Guess they all got shut out.

It was terrible today.

Had a great time. Many thanks to the Allison Family for all the hard work they put into the tourneys

Must have been tough fishing, wouldn't have thought 41.16 lbs would win.

I was wondering if the front would mess it up and it looks like it did. Well that is how it goes. Good going guys.

Had a feeling the bluebird sky's and little to no wind may have a big impact on the results. Looks like it did.

Was a tough day on the water.

About 1:00 pm I was starting to believe I couldn't catch Ebola, let alone a catfish !!!

I had the gar nailed down. The cat FIS eluded us almost all day

We didn't catch our 5th fish til 149p

We didn't catch 5 fish.

Amen!
1st fish = 1:35
2nd fish = 1:57
The end!

Yes it was super tough here is a pic of the board.
