Corey and I fished the Media Lake Fork event this Saturday and had a fun day of fishing up until about 3:00 PM. Game warden showed up and I gladly showed him the safety equipment and went to get my license out of my NEW wallet. Well, I could not find my license even though I knew I had put it in there when I changed wallets. I looked and looked then handed him my drivers license to issue a citation. He informed me that when I find my license to call the judge and she will have me mail a copy then dismiss the charges.

Well, then reality set in and I told Corey that we might as well toss the fish back because I cannot fish the tournament without my license because the rules state that I must have a valid license on me while competing.

We pulled up to the weigh in and I verified with the TD and told him that we would not be weighing any fish. On the way back to the boat Corey looked at me and said, "You did the right thing dad." We went back to the boat and tossed our fish, loaded up, and headed over to meet the wife at the swap meet because Corey was riding in a playday Saturday night and needed to get there by 6:30.

While sitting around at the vacant swap meet I dug through my walled one more time and damned if I did not find my license tucked away in the center pocket of the tri-fold. Not sure how I missed this when the GW was there but I missed it and canceled our day. Now we are sitting in 68th place in points and we have to make the top 50% to qualify for the championship. With 3 tournaments left I am concerned but we will bust our tails and see what happens.
Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

Too much pressure! At least you did the right thing.
Quit being a mad, little bald man!

Yank... LOL..

I'm sorry for ya PQ.. That dang GW was bird dog'n guys at the weigh-in ??? I mean --there's a time and a place for every thing and that wasn't it.
Guys trying to bag their fish and this dude is on their azz, with boats trying to get in and get out.

I'd step in my boat for some advil or water and here he'd come LOL..
I'd quickly step out of the boat back on the dock and he'd back off.
It was a cat and mouse game for a lil while.
If he really wanted to, the cat would have ck'd the mouse..

The whole deal with the GW on tournament day was like a cheap shot to the nad's. What a Joke that dude was. It made the TP&W look like a Barny Fife
