[Gone8to1248 158]

After reading what is going on with Roger and the Thunder Bay Fishing Board, This AMERICAN is throwing out the GUANTLETT!! I'm saying that you beer (swill if it's Canadian) drinking, no fish catching, Chicago Bears Fan, funny talking people from NORTH of the Border CAN"T MATCH the $250 I'm going to pledge to Roger for the board. And no that doesn't mean you each have to put up $250. I'm saying you ALL TOGETHER can't do it!! I'm so sure of it that if you can I'll DOUBLE MY PLEDGE TO $500.

Is there a group of you out there that want to take me on? Please Step Up and Raise your voice!

Of you members that know me you know I'm dead serious about this. I will not let this board go down without a fight! Because Of the Thunder Bay Message Board I have met some great people not only inperson but also on line. People like beamer,Roger,Terry K., Shane (Canuck), Peter, Jeff K.,Joe (Big Moose), George (GC54)( Who I just spoke on the phone with) Vera ( who along with her husband I plan on fishing with this summer) Snowball( who is helping teach me how to post pictures) Kevin Greene(Who swaps fishing spots with me), Bill (Slick Willy) and many more that the list is to long to mention. Til Later my FRIENDS

You had to raise me, huh??? OK. Make mine $25.00.

8 more similar pledges and Bernie will have to bite the bullet. C'mon guys.

[GC 54 31]

Bernie, if us Canadians can't quite muster up the funds, can we count in the funds made from the contest I have running for those who find paid advertising for the site? We may need it to match your $500.00.

What's the time line for your offer? It will take me 5 weeks to match those guys with the weekly, I mean weakly, allowance I get from the spouse of my house. lol

[Bear 77]

Where do I send my $20.00. Is someone holding the cash for a count or do we send it direct to Roger?

We can be out done by a 3.2% beer swilling, Green Bay Packers (cheesehead) fan from south of the border, who cant catch as many fish as any Canadian. (no offence intended)

Keep it up Bernie we will have to initiate you as an honourary Canadian. (get the goat)

Is this contest in Canadian $$ or American (ours is still worth more isnt it?)

Bear

[Gone8to1248 158]

And for you Canadians...... Please don't try to use Canadian Tire Money!!!!!

Bernie

Okay you Canadians are on a roll!!!! Now when you all sober up and get back to your feet and quit BSing about the "Fish" you catch, I'm sure it will come to a screeching halt!!

#1 GREEN BAY PACKER FAN!!!!!!

Bruce, is that like the Newfies where they 'kiss the cod'? Will Bernie need to wear those waders he has with the soles worn off from running all the way back to Thunder Bay chasing Beamer, with TerryK in the trunk? Or will he need those black rubber boots that go up to just below his knees? lol

[Guest TerryK]

Bernie is already an honorary Canadian: he tells BIG fish stories like one that for sure!

Thanks for the challenge and the generous donation Bernie, you sir, are a real stand up guy.
