Boat Spotlight: SS Eye to Eye
I am not going to lie, this was my favorite boat to name. I am a sucker for a good double entendre.
Ladies and gentlemen, i would like to introduce your odds on favorite to bring home the money this year. It is a combination of proving ability, years of experience, and just plain old being due.
Andy is no longer tagged with the rookie label. He has a mount to prove his ability. The easier it gets to pull the anchor rope, the easier it gets to go looking for big fish. Andy may suffer the senior year blues but that is doubtful...another big year is a real possibility.
Troy has a lot of trips under his belt and has caught a ton of fish. The really big one seems to have escaped him for a number of years. He seems to be around for lot of huge walleye being taken over the years but the rod he is holding never seems to be the lucky one. This could be the year. There is probably only one other person in camp more due for a big fish. Future spotlights will reveal who this might be.
There is no question this boat will bring a great number of fish in the boat and to the fish house. Is this the year Troy replaces his 23 incher with a truly mountable fish? I think the odds are pretty good and give them the edge to have the biggest week.
So far, through two spotlights the weighting goes like this:
SS Eye to Eye
SS Camp Director

So let me get this straight, you are putting a boat that didn't even catch a pot winner last year ahead of a boat with two seasoned veterans. I hope you realize that you are just adding fuel to the fire.
ReplyDeleteYep. This is one of the rare instances where past performance is not a great predictor of future performance. You'll be ok. With Theron and Connor in the boat together, you may not end up at the bottom of the confidence list.
ReplyDeleteWait a damn minute. Not only did we catch several pot winners last year. Andy had the walleye of the week. I think you are still stuck in 2009. Its over man, live in the now.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, I think Andy found that fish floating on top of the water. Troy, I don't remember you catching one single pot winner. My boat will come out on top again this year.
ReplyDeleteThe boat to beat is the SS Camp Diretor we will be at the top of the leader board every day.

mudslinger your walleye was floating on the top of the water not mine your getting your facts mixed up.
