Shame - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SHAME, SHAME on me! What are we doing to OURSELVES? I hope we make things better for next year, if there is a next year. What a loss this could be for ALL of us.

When you mix Viagra, blood thinners and Scotch.....you get a few "iffy" moments.

Or he's just working on his post count.

Are they making the entire coast a mpa?

Probably had a preminision of the Chargers game

JeffB · 09-09-2013, 10:10 PM

Possible war on Syria? Lack of reported lobster cards? I don't have a third guess

I'm guessing the Halibut Measuring debacle that turned into a Bloody Decks thread...

makobob · 09-10-2013, 08:48 AM

Baja_Traveler, you win, just glad it is over before someone got hurt.

Jimmyz123 · 09-10-2013, 10:14 AM

The one on here that was asking for other's opinions on what the lenght of the fish was? Did that really blow up?

ful-rac · 09-10-2013, 04:44 PM

Oh thanks bob for starting this back up!

It's all good for now...at least that's how I feel. I just hope wade addresses the issue(s) soon, I would like to hear what he has to say.

I also think I speak for everybody in the fact that we are all appreciative of wade for putting on these tournaments. I know it's not easy to do and time consuming for little or no reward...but I believe that, that is just the nature of not just fishing tournaments, just tournaments in general...there are always going to be issues that come up...whether you think they are issues or not...fact is somebody out there is going to think your non-issue is an issue....and dealing with that crap has to be maddening...

Hopefully wade isn't too upset with the way that this situation unfolded. I hope we can get it straitened out new rules in place and we can all move on like nothing ever happened....

I think wade needs to come up with 1 method of measuring fish, and if somebody doesn't like it...tough. Just as long as we are all doing it the same uniform way.

When I first saw the Judge and Jury post I thought it was a joke, not in a WTF kind of way. I thought this was Wade's intention:

Post pic of fish
Have everyone guess the length
Post pic of head shot
Tell everyone that their guesstimates were wrong

Why did I guess this? Well, its plain and simple. I assumed that Wade received all of the photos I had sent him but that wasn't the case. I didn't realize that was the case until after I posted the head shot and Wade questioned it but by this time the thread had totally gone Ala Bloodydecks.

Even after a few of the comments were posted I believed that this wasn't all a joke but even after I realized that this wasn't the case I failed to contact Wade myself. Rather than contacting Wade I posted the details of the communication for everyone to see, this was a bad move on my part. At my office we follow a simple rule when it comes to communicating; if you feel a need to send a fourth email on the same subject pick up the phone and call the person instead. I could have done this but I didn't, maybe its because I was expecting the same...... in a childish kind of way.

Fast forward a few days and the thread is getting nastier by the minute. It was starting to look like a bloody decks threads combined with those old south vs. north BWE threads. I couldn't believe what I was reading but more so who was saying it. Anyway, what's done is done, there really is no point in poking a healing wound.
