Southern Classic and Women

[Jerry Barton]

I've been getting private emails from someone who has been telling me that
there wife is thinking that the Classics are "Men Only", and that they're
not sure whether we think wives should tag along. I've explained that we've
had wives and girlfriends attend these things before, and I'm sure we'll
continue to do so in the future. I'd appreciate it if everyone would put
their minds at ease by letting them know how we feel.
For those of you who've never attended one of our Classics, male or female,
let me assure you that it's a "not to miss" event. This is not a
professional, in any way, shape, or form, tournament. It's designed to let
everyone have a reason to meet people from this newsgroup, to put a name to
a face, and rekindle some old friendships. I can say personally that I've
made some true friends at these tournaments, and the friendships continues
away from the newsgroup. I think I've also gained a couple of step-sons in
line for an inheritance, they've already taken inventory of my rods and
reels. So please, if it's anyway possible, make an effort to attend the
Southern Classic this April, you'll never regret doing so.

I'm sure that Terri will be happy to hear from you all on how the
group feels about this. It doesn't seem to have the same effect when
I tell her this. Thanks for all of your help.

I can't believe that only Randy and I don't have a problem with the women
coming to our Classics, so how about some feedback so that a certain someone
will know.

If I were to make it to the Classic this year, and no I won't.My wife would
be there also. I would not have any qualms about wives being there. My wife
has been to several of the Classic's held in Tenn. Wife's can always have a
good time at these shindigs if they have a mind to!

I certainly don't have a problem with it, as long as it's not my women!

I've never had a problem with women. Heck, I married two! ;-p

No, seriously, I can only speak for myself and the Northwoods Classic, but
if someone wants to bring their significant other along to one of these
events, I say GREAT!!! They just have to understand that there's going to
be a lot of fishing talk and general silliness. So if your spousal unit can
deal with that, COME ON DOWN!

This reminds me of a statement by a guy I know. 'I am not getting married
again. I am going to pick out a random women walking down the street every
5 years and buy her a house. Is cheaper.'

The first time I read this, my wife was standing over my shoulder so I
though it was best NOT to respond. Since she's not here to censor me... I'll
answer now. LOL

These tournaments were NEVER meant to be male dominated events! However,
there are certain requirements that have to be met in order to come.

1st: You must have a sense of humor.
2nd: You must be able to at least speak the language to fishing. Example: A
hog is not a pig... a toad is not a frog. A wiggler is a worm... that lives
in the ground.
3rd: You must have a sense of humor.
4th: You must be able to keep a straight face when telling your fish
stories. Especially if someone is starting to believe you.
5th: You must have a sense of humor.
6th: You must promise never to mention anything that happens, to anyone
(especially my wife) outside of our newsgroup.
7th: You must try the gator. It may sound bad... but it's actually pretty
good.
8th: You must promise NOT to get Randy started with the chicken bit.
9th: Once again, the sense of humor thinggy.
10th: Raccoons are NOT our friends. It's best just to leave them alone.

Ok... as you can see, the actual ability of knowing how to fish wasn't
listed here. Why? Well, I think you'll just have to come and see for
yourself. Actually, you can probably to a Google search for the posts on
last years weigh-ins and get a pretty good idea of what I'm talking about. I
think that my final total for the two days was something like 14oz at the
Mid-Tenn Classic.

There may be a few other things that you (ladies) may need to know.

1: Moe may lead you to believe that he's an older man... but you'll need to
watch yourself around this guy.
2: Moe and Warren have been known to kiss on more than one occasion. I've
actually got this on film somewhere. Just think nothing of it. Oh yeah... He
seems to have a thing for Steve and Joe too. Still, watch yourself.
3: Jerry Barton is safe only when tied to a tree. Jerry don't care if your
husband is sitting right next to you!
4: Steve Huber is also known as Mr. Smooth, and his wife knows it. That's
why he's only allowed to travel to these events accompanied by either is
wife or daughter.
5: I am always the perfect gentleman! You can trust me...

So ladies... feel free to join us! Fishing is just an excuse for us to get
together and have a good time, all well within the law. We also have a good
excuse to fish some of the finest fisheries in the United States! I mean,
you know... if I just told my wife that I was going fishing in Florida, that
wouldn't sound as important as *having* to fish a *tournament* in Florida.
The first way just sounds like a vacation, instead of something that I HAD
to do.

I'll quote Randy and say, "The more the merrier!"

Now let's go fishing!!!!!!!!!

Good reply Charles,

The general silliness will continue, keep in mind ladies that mentality
levels can drop at any given moment. We are bass fisherman after all and
that mixed in with no work and beer can never be a good thing when it comes
to stimulating conversation. I must insist that there are no stimulating
conversations. A sense of humor will go a long way, a deep black hearted
cruel sense of humor will keep you around long after most have called it a
night. That is when the true fun begins.

So come one and come all. There isn't one person I have met at any of these
gatherings that I wouldn't want to meet again at one of these
gatherings....a dark alley,,well thats a different story..

Also one last bit of advice, don't let Moe take you anywhere alone to show
you something. This apply's to both women, teenage girls(legal consent) and
any new guys that have never attended before, ask Harry he'll tell ya. Just
Kidding Moe is a great guy,,,, Double the gator order Moe!!!. tastes like
chicken!!!!!!

neighbors? Just curious...

[alwayfishking]

Actually, we all live all over, but have fished together or had a beer(or
two or a dozen) at one classic or another.

This is what makes this Newsgroup different from most, Most of us can place
a face with a name here. And it will be said again. If you have never
attended a classic event, you really should, everyone has been a downright
enjoyable time from start to finish, with a great bunch of people.

Even if you think you don't fish well or that you don't know know how to
fish well. Don't let that be a deciding factor. Most of us know how to fish
well,,, until we get together, then for some strange weird reason, we all
forget how to catch those limits(except maybe warren, but i suspect he
doesn't try hard enough at these events : )))) A great time to be had by
all, good company...fishing and good company are three reasons to attend.
