I have read in a couple threads that the guy that talked Larry into having this Tourney didn't even show ? ...... Who is this guy ?
Maybe Larry can chime in and let us all know who that guy is that talked him into having a tourney ?
catnwitbigmac, You jump on here bashing the people that didn't show without even knowing why.......... things sometimes change at the last minute and you just don't have time to post the changes.
If you want to talk to me about why I wasn't there post away dude........I AIN'T SCARRED EITHER !

BTW, This is the very first time I have missed a tourney after signing up in all the years I have been fishing.
Missed 1 tourney in about 20 years...............doesn't sound like a bad reputation to me.

yeah i signed up but i did post i wasnt going ot be able to make it, BUT if i hadnt posted i wasnt going to be able to then well maybe something came up that i couldnt post, i dont think it is a crime in the fishing books that i MUST post even if i didnt have time to. I do agree i some what of what you are saying but not eveyone gets time to get on here all the time to post everyday. Not sure who you are talking about not making it that talk to Larry about haveing it, i thought Larry is the one that said adn started it myself. I DO REMEMBER HIM asking people if they would be interested in haveing one if he closed down the lake for it. not sure why you are calling people out for (pm.ing you if they dont like what you said) you just might not like the turn out that will. Just my 2 since. Not trying to down anyone in anyway but just putting in my 2 since thats all.

I'am not posting this to make anyone mad. I only know a few guys on here and have fished with them.This was my first tournament that you had to sign up for so you could fish that day. So with that said. If I tell someone I'll be there you can take it to the bank.Thats how I do my work and what ever. I don't care if someone never showed up. The only thing is when Larry told me that some guys drove over two hours to fish his lake that day and he had to tell them it was closed. So they left and may never come back.Who knows about that. I'am sorry you had to do that Larry. Mike Wheeler

I agree with Wheeler, If I say I am going to show, I show. I am a Man that will back my every word. I wouldn't say it upset me that so many didn't show, I dont really give a rats a** who shows, but it does speak volumes about the character of some people.

I got about 50% of sign-ups to show for tournaments last year. I wasn't able to make this one and I should have posted that, but I'm not going to try to make any excuses. I have read in a couple threads that the guy that talked Larry into having this Tourney didn't even show ? ...... Who is this guy ? I'd like to point out that this was a non-Cincypaylakes run tournament before anyone reads into this. I had nothing to do with it other than talking with Larry and letting it be advertised here.

Things come up that you can't help. Josh can affirm that i was looking forward to this tournament and was planning on going until I realized I had an exam on Monday. Fishing is great, but some things are more important. I am sorry to Larry for not showing, but as for my reputation, well lets just say I am pretty sure it is not going to come up in a job interview. The character of some people? Give me a break. Tell me, what really says more about my character, the fact that I did not go to a fishing tournament that I really wanted to attend, or the fact that I stayed home all day to study, which is something I definitely did not want to do?
Don't make such general statements until you know peoples circumstances. Moreover, if something important came up, say relating to family of work, would you realy have kept your commitment to fish?

As I have said in another post. Wasnt able to make it, thats the bottom line. The reason why is my concern and NO ON ELSE'S. I love to fish more than anything, and the fact that I wasnt able to make it should tell you something more important came up. If you want to talk abut commitment, try being a father of 4. Thats where my commitment rest, Only a fool would choose fishing over family. If someone chooses fishing over family, It is then a question of the caliber of father that person would be. Like Randy, Josh, Mike and Elijah said. Things come up. And as far as the PM. I am open for any discussion.
