I accept membership and have given my pledge. I also vow to no longer refer to green sunfish as green scummers, nor will I bank them during electrofishing surveys. I must be educated as to whether I can still use them as bait while flathead fishing.
Excellent, you have been added to the GSA membership roster. Your decoder ring and secret hand shake instructional DVD will be sent via mail.
Although we prefer you use trash fish such as Blue Gill, Red Ears, Pumpkinseed, Yellow Perch for bait we do recognize that on occasion you must sacrafice the mighty GSF in pursuit of the perfect pond. The GSA recognizes that culling must occur in order to enhance the GSF population as a whole. When you take the life of a GSF however we recommend that you thank the GSF for giving it's life in such a noble and brave manner. You may do this silently and there is no formal wording requirement.
I will begin a training regiment to re-hone my skills at playing quarters so that I am an asset at the next PB Conference. To take down Sunil will be a difficult challenge, but I suspect he will take a drink regardless of the shot being made.
Your dedication to the GSA cause has been noted. Sunil is a fierce competitor and I am sure that he is in training as well.
One of my favorite players in the league is Troy Polamalu. He wears #43. When added together, we get 7. The seventh letter in the alphabet is "G". I think the "G" stands for Green Sunfish. He may be trying to communicate with us. Further, he is from California where the GSA is headquartered. Coincidence?? I think not. What's this mean? There will be a green sunfish on the field tomorrow. Watch for roaming behaviour and a knack for devouring the competition.
Fantastic analysis.
Welcome to the GSA.
