BPCL 2009

[Larry FlatCaster]

Shamu is in this year.... As a fill in Capt last year he got league bug.

Sounds like we might have a full crew, which would be a first. I think we were close a couple years ago.

As far as the Flathead hat staying in Mankato.... Ummmm Yeah right.... you might want to go back into hibernation Kyle.

What do we have as a tentative count for interest?

[Kyle B]

No hibernation for me... been here the whole time! I will say League has been one heck of a good time in the past and if we have a full crew its going to be that much better!

Another thing I got to do is put up an extra $25.00 if Wastewater can catch a total of 3 sheephead on live Bullheads throughout all league nights!

[dsm95]

I'm in I'll send Kyle up with my money I have several dates that will be bothersome through out the summer but no biggie. Heck yeah the pimp hat must remain! I won't be making it to the meeting due to getting married that weekend. These are the dates if you could take them into some consideration that would be appreciated May 15th, July 3rd, August 7th and September 18th don't work for me and like I stated it's not life or death but would be nice. Kyle when did you move to Jordan?

[Papa Grump]

For those on the fence or can't make my mind up Here is the tentative dates based on a few e-mails that I've received already before today:

May 29

June 12

June 26

Aug 7 this one is really in the air, dependant on the BP Cat contest, otherwise we go back a week.

Aug 21

Sept 4th This is the all nighter option night.

I'll keep throwing tidbits out there as we get closer to the first meeting or e-mail me if you have any questions:

I'm a bit surprised, I only have 1 conflict with those dates.

How come nobody wants to fish in July?

[Shamu]

I am in. This is so much fun I can't stand it. Been having a blast out there with all of you guys. See you at the meeting.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Ya I just have to finalize it with the boss, but she shouldn't have any problem with it.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Ok sign me up I just spoke with her and she was cool with it.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Does this count as a reserved entry or not.

[Larry FlatCaster]

Does this count as a reserved entry or not.

There should be plenty of room. Even if everyone that did it last year wants back in, there will be a number of open seats still.

Though I was on the decision committee, I leave the rules to Grump and the enforcement to Hanson.

[Dennis Steele]

Sign me up!

I'll have to be a rider this year. Might be awhile before I get a new boat.

Sounds like a plan. I will also have to be a rider as my boat is all tore up and nowhere ready for the water and not sure when it will be.

[Shack]

All right, the famous Dennis Steele is signing up

I think the below image is from the original BPCL crew?? How many of the original guys are still involved?

Awesome pic

[ec30_06]

I'll be back this year to defend my channel cat title. I think we should keep the flat and channel pimp hats to polytek owners.

I hear that!

[harvey lee]

I have heard a few rumblings through the grapevine that the hats will leave the Mankato area.

Have you heard that Kyle??

With Dennis back in the mix this year, that makes 2 people for sure. That spanking brand new River Pro in the pic was Jim Hooper's from Jordan that now belongs to WWG. Jim may or may not fish this year. Jim and myself are the only one's who have fished it every year.

I Don't listen to anything that comes through the grapevine...nothing but lies and misconceptions. To many stories get changed around!

Now the Word on the Street is that its stayin in Mankato!

[DARK30]

I kinda figured da Fishhead would start straightening the ol hook out pretty soon

I still prefer to keep the fishing un-official ... but I'll wave if I see you guys.

Nice pic...less belly on me there

[Gordie]

Hey shack as long as were almost neighbors would you want to car pool down there?

I also can be a captin

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Well at least now you match the kitties that you hunt.

[169Sportsman]

I have a framed version of that pic in my office. Dated 2002. Hard to believe this will be the 8th year.

Dark30 I dont think u are the only one whose belly has stretched a bit. :-)

[A.W.Wolfram]
