Move along people, nothing to see here. cancelled... done. Over...

well I stepped in it... didn't mean to detract so retract. Seemed like a good Idea at the time... Wasn't... Sorry

Ron, you sure want to do this, it's competition you know... 

Ok, I'm down. How about longest rockfish and longest cab. $10 each pot. Bring em in to measure or CPR with marker symbol(?) on your hand announced Fri night.  Once either pot hits $300 clams break it down 50/30/20. Open to all. ChaChing!

Mike

I never minded a cash pot for biggest rockfish. Winner take all. Please don't make a tournament within my tournament. Lets get this straight. David has always ask me first.

Well, some times we don't think before posting... At this point I'll wait till someone else sets it up. Didn't mean to be an ass or anything else. No hidden agenda. Just wanted to play too after missing deadline. Never mind and sorry If I was out of line...

You can't unring a bell.

haha, I know right. If my side bet suggestion is not relevant than disregard. I just thought it would be a fun and challenging side bet, that's it. Nothing more, nothing less, no harm done. 

I will provide a Luggable Loo for any side bets.

Hey Ron, if they don't want your fire pit donate it to the PIF raffle.  I think it was a nice offer and should be considered an art piece. 

Just a strait up side bet Craig.... I cut a smog calibration tanks in half and make a burner Putting cash for side bet inside (like nascar) Winners cup, winner takes all... I respect the deadline for signups jul 3 but I didn't get it together in time.... not trying to distract from event. I even suggested we target a NON Tournament fish so we don't interfere with event. Further changes, developement ahead. Title has "Discuss and set up right in it..." Craig, your input is welcome as well.... Just a place to "set up" the side bet OFF the Albion thread. Ok with you?

What part of Craig's response do you not understand? Craig puts a lot of hard work and love into this tournament so we can all have a great time, let's respect his wishes.

Might not even fish At all and just wander around eating others food

  That's some NCKA spirit

was just trying to take the discussion of the side bet off Albion thread... was not trying to step on toes... Will be talking to craig tonight and all on hold till I do... the no fish/ food thing was from a discussion of competition on another thread brought up by Mike here... Joke regarding that...

There has always been a side bet.

There has always been a side bet.

 That's right Mike. There always has. When David first was thinking about it in 2010 we talked about it and I liked it. It was very chill. Ten bucks each. Winner takes all. Some great guys have won that pot and I see no reason whatsoever to discontinue it at all. What I didn't like was the thought of making it into a big side show. With 1,2,3 places and then comes prizes and the comes sponsors and then what. I do work hard all year and I have for the last six to make this. But really I am nothing. Its the folks that show up who make the event and who buy tickets and who spend money in a fun way to help someone in need. This year is no different. This year we are honoring a lost son and a great Father. I just want everyone to have fun but at some point if something doesn't feel right I will say something about it. So low key side bet like its been is fabulous But calling it the Late For Albion Side Bet is degrading to me and the event as a whole. If you cant read maybe your Mom could help you. LOL. Meanwhile this is what I did last weekend. ON A BIG HAMMER.................... HALLOWEEN BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Nice fish.
Was it 2010 when I won the side bet?? Has it been that long? 

I can understand that. So I'll do the standing side bet. Seemed like a good Idea at the time. Sorry Craig, to have added extra drama Done, over, moving on...
