Bassin' USA - Bass Fishing Forum Archives

Once a Moderator, always a Moderator. I tried using my old name, rank and serial number, but I couldn't make the system recognize me.

If any of you talk with Brendan or Joe, tell them what you've read here. They can work miracles. I've used up my only miracle just getting back to CT.

To all of you, good to read all the good things that you've been doing. As soon as we
get this identity crisis over with, we'll pitch in and get back to work.

If you are wondering, "Danjo" is short for "Danbury Joe". Can't wait to get up and
running again. Joe

Welcome back my friend!

Thanks, Craig. I've talked with the Boss and I'll be back up pretty soon.

I am extremely proud of the way you fellas have excelled on this website. It is a great experience to read each post and try to commit it to memory. As I've said many times in the past, I try to jot a lot of the info down on a notebook. The Search feature makes it possible to reduce the note-taking and you get to read all the comments. I love it.

I'll be monitoring the site every day from now on. Not that you guys need any help. If I can be of any help, please let me know.

Bass Wishes. Joe

Glad to have you back Joe.

I was wondering the other day what the heck happened to you.

JT Bagwell

Thanks Jeremiah-
As I said to Craig, you guys have been doing a bang-up job on this website. As you can see, the system now recognizes me. It all came about after I had a brain transplant.

Keep up the good work, all of you. It's fun to read all the great information; each guy adding his take to what has been posted before him.

Great to be back up here. Much obliged to all of you. Joe

JoeMo, Glad you're back with us, we can always use your guidence and advice. Met a lot of nice folks from the Northeast this past week in Alabama at the Federation Championship. The Eastern Division did a great job catching fish under tough conditions including a tornado or three. Welcome back. Johnnie

Johnnie- Good to hear from you, too. I've run into more dead ends trying to get back on line. Once BassinUSA straightened me out, I figured I was home free, but my mouse turned belly-up and I had to replace him. Gave him a nice burial, though.

As to the Fed Championship, I'm a bit more familiar with the NY guys than the CT fellas based on a lot more years spent in NY State.
But like all bass fisherman, these fellas are helpful, friendly etc. The Federation is and has always been the backbone of B.A.S.S.
By the way, how did the CastingKids Finals turn out? Those Younsters are marvelous.

I like how you and the other Pro Staff Team Members manned the boards this year. Just when I thought BassinUSA was going at top speed, you guys put it into pass gear and haven't let up.

I'll use my favorite words for all of you: Much Obliged. Joe

JoeMO, the CastingKids finals went great, some of those kids are really dedicated. At the hotel on FRiday night, the kids practiced in the parking lot until midnight, then were back at it at 7:00 a.m. I guess the Illinois representitive was the most impressive, he scored 140 out of 150 points, but tied with the kid from Canada, They had a castoff and the Illinois youth won by 30 points, he is now going to the Classic for the World Championship. My Iowa Kids finsihed third and fourth, I was proud of them. Just after the competition, a tornado came directly at our outside site. With 93 castingkids, and their parents, all the Youth Directors and officials from BASS running through a hail storm to find shelter, it was quite a site. We all crowded into a block bathroom. The tornado went over us, I did get a snapshot as it was leaving. I had picked me out a ditch when it got bad, luckily I opted for the outhouse because the ditch filled with four feet of waterAnyway, the KIds were great and I love being the Iowa Youth Director. Later, Johnnie.
