Headhunt tune-up with some alligator gar

6/9/2014

Just back from New Orleans bachelor party and we survived. We were not able to make the hog hunting happen, but bow fishing was epic.

Friday night we drove out from New Orleans and headed about an hour south. It was very similar to True Detective, driving through swamp towns at night, and the last leg along dirt roads along miles of swamp. Showed up at a small lodge on stilts on a bayou river, and didn't know what to expect. 

Soon enough two young guides showed up, accents as thick as you see on swamp people on TV. We piled onto a sweet 24 foot airboat that had LED lights mounted around the entire outside of the hull. We were soon heading 40 mph into the swamps, in the dark, which was awesome. 

At our first stop we got a quick lesson on the bows, and then it was showtime. We stayed out from about 9:30 - 1:30 in the morning, and it wasn't easy, but was sweet. We caught a bunch of alligator gars and a few redfish. There were baitfish, mullet, and even alligators all over the place, and you would slowly cruise up along the banks of the marsh, look for a gar or redfish cruising by and unleash. 

At one point we were cruising about 10 feet off the bank and the bushes moved and a 5 foot alligator came out of the reeds at full speed, dove into the water and came straight at us and then last second went under the boat. Was a pretty small one, but was still pretty cool to see it trying to attack the boat. 

Overall, once in a lifetime experience and may need a trip back when hog hunting is on (smaller airboats and AR-15s  - how sweet would that be.

Anyway, more details to come on the Headhunt, but we are keeping things simple - only doing a couple of the corporate sponsors we had last year - Quantum and Stormr, from Goose Hummock. More to come on that, but can't thank them enough.

Let's get the registrations in and the trash talk cooking. It's getting closer.

Hey Bag, glad you dusted the cobwebs off your cock n balls this year. I've been busy working with Sealy Posturepedic on a "Love Mattress" They're doing R&D on getting more miles out of them and they knew just who to call.

See you on the 19th, maybe I'll let you look at our trophy (and our trophy wives)

Team Dangler, Out-

Dangler your bravado is nice to hear. Although misguided and you have no 3rd leg to stand on to back it up.
You and Petey should hang out and call me when the midgets overtake you guys in length and girth.

No handed push-ups are my specialty Mr. Bag. I challenge you to a duel. You name the time and place and my kickstand and I will be there.

Hey Dingleberry, Spooning in front of your girl doesn't constitute "R&D" also bragging about your 1 handed kneeling push up while in a Mexican Jail is not appropiate for this family tournament. I challenge you my friend to a fishing tournament you may be confused because not having ever shown up in a tournament but you will need to actually catch something besides you 3rd cousins case of crabs! Game On!!

I dont do push ups due to Chuck Knorris doing them for me. And he does them with his majestic beard. We have been tight for years and im going to hook use his chest hair for hooks.
Lots of talk from the clowns of the fleet. Didnt I see you guys on wicked tuna? Or was that RuPauls drag race? Either way I know all of you would walk a mile just to smell my essence and to bask in the glory that is The Bag.
You boys run along now and throw on some sex panther and talk about your gun show. Im going to sit back and just win.

Bag, we don't need to walk a mile to smell your essence, we can smell it from miles away.

Hey “This Year’s Chump”.

Lots of talk out of gate from you and we applaud your effort. This is Team Dangler (Harry Corduroy, Storm DuPont & Captain Dangler….and let’s not forget our spotter plan pilot Lars Shlonghoffer).

Please remember, we downright own this bog. Many involved in past years have had to seek therapy (which we paid for) from the lashing handed down. Don’t be a number they are…we’re here as Ambassadors spreading peace and goodwill (walk softly but carry a big stick if you will). We’ve been balls to the wall busy since last year. We created Tinder to help guys like you get laid.

The only thing a Burke will hoist that day is a compact mirror and a new shade of lipstick as they battle it out for the prettiest Burke mermaid

Hey Chump,

You sound like the type of guy that drives a Prius to a Bruins game and orders a glass of Chardonnay. I don’t hold it against you though, I guess that’s just your thing. Team Dangler is not here to start trouble. If you have time on the 19th at the Land Ho between playing leapfrog with Sports Bag and using your nutsack as a mudflap, get in line and say hello to us…we might even give you a nod of acknowledgment.

I am insulted by the lack of imagination on this thread. A Burke claims yet again that he is going to win his own tourney. I equate that to Obamacare. Lots of talk, lets everyone down then stands on the podium making up excuses.
Then "this years chump" is trying to slide in and make his name known. Rumors are abound that he is really wally the green monster looking to latch onto something else than the sox for a championship "this year". Yet again another loser with aspirations of being the Sport Bag.
Lastly we have "team dangler". Just letting you boys know that your combined 3 inches of dangle doesnt impress anyone. Except a field mouse in 21 degree weather. And id say carry a big stick, if you want call me you can carry mine.
Being a veteran trash talker and taker out of the trash you ladies may want to come up with something better. If youd like before I flush my toilet I will take a pic and send it to you guys so you can get some more shitty ideas that dont impress anyone.

Hey Dingleberry,
In typical bottom of the pack mentality your poor planning is expected. I would love to visit you while you sip on some of your moms warm milk however I have a prior engagement. Yet again the wifes of the Burke Boys have asked me to speak to their "men" about their Justin Beiber obsession. Sad so sad. If I wrap up the bitch slapping early what time will you be at the Land Ho

Up off your knees loyal subjects, Harry Corduroy is back. I am not going to regale you nerds with stories of all my fishing accomplishments and photos from the trophy room like in years past. This year I am all business. Champ, glad you are involved this year. Looks like you enjoy the game. Usually power-bottoms are submissive but I like your style friend. Bag, love the hustle as usual. This board would be a dead zone if you weren't on it, we all thank you. There is no doubt you will be cuckolded again this year, but cheers to you for taking it like a man. -Harry Corduroy

Hey Harry Toughskins you may want to be my friend but your lack of resume hurts your chances. Lets face it the classes don't only apply to society but also to the fishing world and you my ''friend'' have nothing to offer a decorated Fishing Virtuoso like myself. I may allow you to wash my boat but only after a lesson or two.
