"‘Aquaman’ moment doesn’t define Austin"
We have another person claiming to be Aquaman. Golfer Woody Austin
has been tagged with that handle also. Maybe voters are getting confused when voting for "Our Aquaman"
In Dog Beers, I've had one.

In the for what it's worth department... If I finish out the month as a winner in my category I'm going to donate the Ambassador reel and Berkley tackle to the Pond Boss auction, which is then donated to the South Dakota State fisheries students for research projects. Actually ewest or Dr. Willis would be better at explaining the foundation, but it's for a great cause. The vote is not as close as it looks, because second place has received about 150 points in the last two days. It should be interesting. If I hang in there I will also see if I can get Hank Parker to sign the reel box for the auction, but that's not a given. Thanks a lot to you guys who have voted so far. Vote here: http://www.berkleybigfish.com/Sincerely, Aquaman (pondmesiter superhero)

I'm doomed. Second place guy got 120 points in the last two hours. Oh well, I have another idea for the auction.

He's beating you by one stinkin' point!
Alright guys, let's rally. To anyone who hasn't voted for Bruce, please go to the link on page one of this thread and vote for Aquaman!
There is a lot at stake here.

There is a lot at stake here. You're too nice, Dave. But it's really not neccesary for you guys to make the effort. I've already decided on a really cool thing to give to the auction in July. If you'd like I'll start a thread on Pond Boss eventually to describe the gift and try to generate a little excitement about it. I've been learning to customize aluminum LED flashlights. There's a small model that's so bright it will practically blind you, but I've been using my dental drills to make custom drawings on them. Lusk got one of the prototypes, but I've improved a lot since then. I'll post some pictures when I've made the first flashlights so you guys can drool over them. You all are too kind to try to help me out.

Just checked, and Bruce is up 17.
Come on folks - Tinkerbell can fish with Hank Parker if you believe.

I'm excited by the Condello/Steelheadrich ticket!
I always have had a thing for smoke-filled back rooms (having been practically raised in one by Grandma Gallus).
Aquaman up by about 100 votes; ScottSC currently third.

I could be wrong, but it looks like ScottSC is dead in the water. I just have to hold off KPangle, who's gotten some insane amount of points in the last two days. Something like 550!!! Do you have any idea how much beer I'm going to owe FatMcB if he keeps sending me votes!!!
Remember that Steelheadrich is a good guy. Send him some love!

I'm hanging in there. Earlier I really didn't care if I won or not, but now my competitive side has kicked in and I'm hoping to pull it out.
If I'm lucky enough to get it we have to find a way for Hank Parker to sign the reel box so it will auction at the conference for more. If it doesn't work out that OK though, because I'm going to give the flashlights no matter what.

I've never met the administrator of the site even though he evidently is from around here, but to be honest this website is a stroke of genius on his part. He said he's gotten a million hits this month. And that's on a website that's only about nine weeks old. That's almost mind-boggling!
I think I'm still going to need a few more votes.
