Time to get this baby back in action. Been a crazy couple weeks and the blog has suffered, but it’s getting to be crunchtime. My brother promised to get back onto this once school finished, but I’m not sure he remembers what the website address even is anymore. As long as he’s focused on winning the tourney – and non tan t-shirts for this year – then we’re good.

Me, I’m taking off this Thurs through until the Headhunt so will be focused 100% on this baby, so be ready. I plan to get some serious pre-fishing in to add to my total of 1 fish caught season to date. Should be primed by next Sat.

I love the chatter, but we still need more boats. Right now, it sounds like we’ve got a lot of the veterans (Dangler, Burnbags, Corduroy, Petey, Goodie, and Plymouth crew) in, but still need more boats so spread the word.

Would also be good to see some more side action. Petey’s note on Vegas odds was spot on. Right now, I think the charter boys still have the advantage so I’ll peg Goodie and his team on Ocean Effect Charters. Capts Ernie and Jeff have the speed of their sweet rig, an us against them attitude, and a new crew of meat biscuits from Boston who have just the right combo of cash, energy, cluelessness, and money. Vegas money has them taking the lead.

Team Powe – if that’s what they’re still called – on Jailbreak - only has a real chance if they break out their Leon Powe jerseys again, but too many chemistry issues on that boat already. Word is one member may bail for his high school reunion so shows the commitment on that boat.

Burnies, is Sportbag even on a boat yet? If so, he still has no chance. His brother could repeat, and is definitely a top contender again. Home waters for him are close, he has been putting in the time, and I love his new brand Hakafish – so hopefully he brings a few shirts (XXL for my fatass) to trade for this years shirt, or for 1 of the 413 leftover tan ones we have from last year.

As for Corduroy and Dangler, I love the fire, the preparation, the strategy, and everything. On paper, they should be a factor, every year. There is just something missing then always holds them back – and I just don’t see it coming together this year either. Vegas has them just above the Browns winning the Superbowl, but not much.

O’Brien and the crew are also always factors on any boat captained by Tom Szado  - the most decorated captain/crew in Headhunt history.

A dark horse entry could still take this baby, and more entrants are needed. We also recently got more support from our friends at On the Water – I actually ran some data for them from my last company and showed they are crushing The Fisherman for people checking out content on their site – def the place to go for local info. Read the latest issue cover to cover and first time in awhile I actually took a few notes from an article (Tuna section) to put into practice. Keep in mind, I suck at fishing so bar was low, but if you tuna fish on the Cape there were some good nuggets in there.

Overall, blog is back in action and let the trash talking continue. Pre-fishing next week and I’ll be on the Cape if anyone wants to get together. Lastly, if anyone wants to donate to prize packages, let us know – we’re trying to put together another kick ass prize list for the top 3 boats – and maybe a few others, so let us know.

Fellas, It’s Reverend Dangler here. it’s been balls to the wall nonstop. Sorry Team Dangler hasn’t been carrying this blog as usual and letting everyone down this year. We been dealing with a lot of chick banging leading up to this fishing derby in a few weeks. I did see this “Headhunt” tidbit on Wikipedia while on the way back from a recent humanitarian visit to Gramblowie Marcao
Straight from Wikipedia –
“Headhunting is the practice of taking and preserving a person's or fishes head after killing them. Headhunting was practiced in historic times in parts of Oceania, South and Southeast Asia “Quincy”, West and Central Africa “No Comment”, and Mesoamerica, as well as among certain tribes of the Celts “from Charlestown to Southie and all the way down the Irish Riviera to Marshfield”, the West Germanic peoples (Lars Schlonghoffer), & the Norse and Scythians of ancient Europe. It occurred in Europe until the early 20th century when Harry’s great-great grandfather was raping and pillaging fishing tournaments in the Mediterranean, in the Balkan Peninsula and to the end of the Middle Ages in Ireland and the Anglo-Scottish border regions where Captain Danglers Father used to headhunt with his cock n’ balls. This practice continues today and is dominated by Team Dangler off the coast of South Western Cape Cod in the Rip Regions off Chatham and Harwich during an annual event coveted by local natives and Sports Bags alike. As a practice, headhunting has been the subject of intense discussion within the anthropological community as to its possible social roles “Dangler Dominance”, functions, and motivations “Drinking Beer”. Themes that arise in anthropological writings about headhunting include mortification of the rival, ritual violence, cosmological balance, the display of manhood “dangling”, cannibalism “eating snatch”, prestige, and as a means of securing the services of the victim as a slave in the afterlife. Team Dangler continues the tradition today and is a world renowned leader and odds on favorite of the modern day “Headhunt”

I have been lame but I have new blog on the block which lame but I cannot day enough how lame I have been this year my bro Ryan!


I am the local lame guy if anyone was wondering but the Dangler response is about as frightening as someone dangling anything.

Dangling is like dropping a worm on a bobber and dangling it over a something and expecting nothing other than a fish that would catch a dangling dingle sack. I need to go as my family is home and I need to get ready to be lame again.

Dangler means less than bobbing which is something that I would fear if we were in a stocked rod and gun club man made pond stocked with jelly beans and swedish fish with a few starving catfish mixed in.

This is not a candy store Team Dangling!

We aren't here to start trouble or anything but your understanding of the English language, and more importantly "Team Dangler" is a bit troubling. I can understand that you might be a bit confused but Dangling is as follows (take your pick)
Dangler = Usually used as a hockey term. A dangler refers to a player who has very good hands and various skill moves to get around a defender, much of the time making the defender look stupid. "Harry is such a dangler! just dangled that defender by putting the puck through his legs!

Dangler = A penis that hangs a minimum of 1/4" from the ground. "It's dangerous for Captain Dangler to ride a bike with that dangler!"

Dangler = When you take a shit and one piece is still hanging from your ass and no matter how hard you shake, it won't fall break off. "Man I hate when Sportsbag takes a huge dump and a dangler hangs from his ass."

Dangler = Rev. Storm “Boston Dangler” DuPont, Harry Corduroy, Captain Dangler and Lars Schlonghoffer, the best, most admired, biggest feared and highly decorated fishing team known to mankind.
Obviously your confusion between dangling and bobbing is immense:

Bobbing = A float, also called a bobber, is an item of angling equipment that is attached to the fishing line which serves several purposes. Firstly, it can suspend the bait at a predetermined depth; secondly, due to its buoyancy, it can carry the baited hook to otherwise inaccessible areas of water by allowing the float to drift in the prevailing current; and thirdly, a float also serves as a bite indicator. Fishing with a float is called float fishing.

Not sure about you cats but Team Dangler has been pretty effective at "bobbing" for Giant Blue Fin Tuna. Not a typical practice for Striped Bass unless we are targeting the cows during big money Tourney's.........maybe we will dangle some bobbers next Saturday, then again, maybe we will relax and enjoy our fans.

Woah - here we go. Dangler is officially off the rails, but I do like the fire - no matter how misguided, inappropriate and frightening.

Odds on favorite though? My guess is they finish outside of top 10

So Burkie ate a bowl of balls for breakfast and is giving a sermon on non-sense. Ninja PALEESE! Listen up fellas, I've been too busy curing HIV with the Brigham and Women's hospital by way of the first and second successful stem cell transplants that eradicated HIV and also working on this cluster fuck of a nightmare over in Egypt to worry about Burke et al. It would be nice if Kerry got off his fucking yacht over on Nantucket and did something productive for once.
But lets get down to the important things, beautiful women which are no strangers to Harry, the good Reverend and myself, great booze like the bottle of 1946 Macallan which the Duke of Earl bought at Sotherby's auction and gave to Team Dangler as a gift to imbibe after we crush the fleet next Saturday, and our celebrity. We will be signing t shirts at the Land Ho again and yes ladies we will honor all the requests for Team Dangler to sign breasts again amongst other body areas. Harry bring 2 sharpies this year; my email and twitter account are blowing up with plenty o' talent that will be on hand to witness yet again another championship.
Bag, you have a ton of heart and emotion but you lack one important thing; talent. But breathe easy my good friend, the Reverend said he would tutor you in his off time when he is not playing polo with the Sultan of Brunei or making dreams of so many young dames come to fruition on Gray D'Albion Beach. After he's done with you Ill show you a few of the tricks that make Team Dangler the rock stars of fishing versus being just another member of some whatever team and if your lucky, really lucky the Reverend will take you on a beaver hunting trip. He is the best of the fur and furless beaver trappers dating all the way back to the Puritan times and possibly of all time.

As for odds for winning,
5 Dimes has Team Dangler way ahead at 1- 50 odds and rumor has it that they might not take any action due to the certainty of an absolute Team Dangler onslaught. Bovada and The Golden Nugget as well as most of the other Vegas casinos are also looking at Team Dangler with the star studded cast as an absolute lock. Place your wagers on us boys, we'll make you some cash.

As for the rest of field good luck god knows you'll need it. Brothers Burke when I was at the Vatican last Wednesday I had Pope Francis say a special prayer and I threw in an extra euro or two into the basket so that you may be blessed enough to weigh in something this year that is respectable. This year Team Dangler uses hooks to level the playing field.

Off to dinner on the Champs-Elysees with Harry and the Reverend and my old school herem of Elle MacPherson, Heidi Klum, Claudia Schiffer and Helena Christensen. It is good to be Team Dangler real good.

Nice - you guys spend a few hours off of wackipedia and get your heads in the game. A lot of talk about not a lot of action - haven't seen one fishing related note in all of this whacked out rantfest. Part of me thinks my brother should go on your boat, just so you guys can go toe to toe with each other in babble battle. He has been quiet this year, but I'll make sure we start a slow drip of Dewars starting around Wednesday to get him lubed for battle.
