Worst Fisherman: The Texans (on account that some LA fellas had to go catch the rest of their limit cause they couldnt)

Most unlucky: BassAssasin

Most determined: was a tie between BassAssasin and Pox

Funniest Quote: I gotta take that one "I see not everything is bigger in Texas"

Most Generous: Southern 151!!! Dude went out of his way all weekend for other people. Thanks big for today Bro!!

Best cook: No Brainer here.....EMAN!! Dude stuffed some bread with some shrimp stuffing he conjured up and deep fried that!!! Holy Crap son!!!!

Loudest Snoring: I dunno, I was "sleeping" unvoluntarily......

Most drunk: For some reason, I dont remember......

Most time on the water: T-Bone.....Dude didnt stop!! He put in 12 hours minimum everyday!!

Mr Congeniality: Nate with all his tattos and big presence, He made it a point to talk to and hang out with everyperson there......................

Damn looked like yal had a good ol time, where did most of y'all fished at?

Majority waded all over the place. Fish werent on. The offshore guys did well.

I was told to ask.....who was the biggest bum??????

Cool deal, looks like nothing but drinking going on.

If someone sold cans, they coulda made a house payment out of our trash!!!

Lol, damn that's a lot s

I drank the equivalent of the GOM this weekend! I'll get back on this in the morning...still entertaining guests and eating some awesome grilled red snapper on the halfshell!

The freaking GI trout hated me this weekend. Caught one on friday, and tried to flip a 4 lber up on the bank and he fell off. Had many blow ups. Fished Elmer's an the rocks. Had a blast meetin all you guys! Can't wait till the next trip. Also thanks to everyone that picked up my slack cleaning the place. Me getting home early saved my *** with my wife

Good to see old faces (EMAN) and some not so old faces.
Enjoyed my weekend.
Thanks Dink

Had a good time , fished / grinded it out in windy conditions. This is my home turf n I struggled this weekend .... Untill Saturday night my fiancé n I hammered em on topwater at dusk but for every 6 fish we had 1 keeper , ended up with 21 n the biggest at 2 1/2 lbs.... Still fun watching em hit that plug. On our way in got off course texting n driving lol n as soon as I noticed the black arrow wasn't on my red line on the gps.... Like a suction cup on a sand flat @ 50mph.... Pushed and pushed and used the TM 1/2 way in the water for another 500 yards, then big motor 1/2 in water for another 500 yards till it became mud so I buried the trim tabs nhammered it to get on top. Note to self when leaving the islands on low tide at dark pay attention !!!

You shoulda called. Champion has a jackplatr, coulda pulled you off no prob

Man that must of sucked

i dont think yall could have ade it ...at least when i first got stuck i had a 20' rooster tail of sand!!! i was gonna drop the power pole n wait it out till the tide came in but lucky for us and thank gos the north wind was gone we got off . made it back to the camp at 10 pm !!

It was a pleasure to have you "OLD" friend

Had a great time and met some awesome people. Kudos to Dink for picking out the camp, nice accomodations and lots of parking. Eman when you get a chance post up your recipe for your pistolettes please sir, them things was good. Had a great time with the Texas Duo, doing it Texas Style. I would like an order of red snapper hooks....Would you like that regular, medium, large or TEXAS SIZE? LOL!!!!!!!! Favorite Quote of the weekend (Wanna see my happy face?) LMAO

^^btw guys t-bone has to be one of the nicest guys I have ever met !! Gladto have the chance to meet you !!

Wow. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed our chats and I know you guys fished hard and were tired last night. I hope we can all cross paths again even if it is just to meet up for a day trip.

Sounds good dude!!!

sounds like yall did as good as I've been doing down there!

Glad y'all had fun on da Island.

X2 on that one! The Texans said the same.....

Thanks to all who made this trip what it was.!!!
Felt real good to sleep in my own bed last night after getting 7 hrs sleep between fri am and sun pm.
I really wanted to thank H , Tim and Corey , They knew that my finances were tight and still told me to come down and fish and not to worry about it.
So to answer your question "W" I guess i was.
Great to meet all the folks i'd never met and see some old faces.
Inshore fishing was real tough this weekend .
Had a place that was producing a few fish but between the gnats and deer flies it was a real tough to grind it out for a few reds ,trout and flounder.
I will post up the recipe for the pistolletts in the food section in a bit.
Thanks to all for making it a great weekend!!! Bob

I was standing about 20 feet away from Bass Assassin when he tried to flip a good 3.5 / 4 lb ( S.C. 5 pounder) trout up on the bank. I was sick when that fish hit the bank and flopped back in the water so i can imagine how he felt.

Still a good memory! thanks for takin us to the lil honey hole. Eman said pull over right here i see the trail. He hops out grabs his poles and vanishes into the 7ft tall marsh grass. Dude is a trooper

I can't thank everyone enough for all that everyone contributed!!! NO ONE was bumming anything except maybe me and that was a rig for one of my guys to use because one of mine failed and I didn't have a backup. Purebay came through with a nice setup for my boy Nate.

Loudest snoring award....Texans! Man, they got chainsaws goin! LOL

Dink busted em on the "I thought everything was bigger in TX" deal! I think beer came out of my nose when he said that!

Eman rocked em on the cooking and cooking tutorials!

Bass Assassin was an awesome guy to run around with. He was nice enough to let me ride along when all of the rest of the Okie crowd headed offshore.

The above being said^^, a HUGE thank you to Dink for taking all of my crowd offshore Saturday morning!!! It takes a helluva guy to take a bunch of guys out when you don't know 2/3 of them!

There's more that I could go on and on about but, work didn't do itself over the weekend so, I have to get after it!

Southern151 is a stand-up guy. Dude jumped in on Dinks trailer repair and was full of grease. I know Nate and Van had a great time and it was nice just to sit back and watch them enjoy the shrimp and crabs you boiled up. Southern and Dink could always open up a trailer repair business on the island, had lots of practice this weekend.

Why you holding MY snapper in your avatar? You should be holding some of yalls little ones!! Or are thise we had to catch for yall? I dont remember

If you guys have any PG rated pics from the weekend post em up.

Easy Dink :)

3 words.........TEXAS HOOKS BABY!

Looks like yall had fun!

You talking about the ones that were left on the wreck?

coolest part of the weekend was meeting all yall. No body looked like I envisioned their appearances based on their internet personas. Very cool and generous bunch of guys down there this weekend. Thanks to everybody for showing a couple of texans a good time.

A small donation to neptune. By the way, you are now my cooking mentor wether you like it or not. We hit best stop like you suggested, and wow! Best meAT market I've ever been to

I put some of your smoked pepper jack on a ritz and topped it with a little best stop boudain. Thats an hors dourve fit for a king right there

Great weekend with great people!!!
 

Had a great time in GI with some real class people, thankful for invite. Will second the nice guy thing for T-bone was a true pleasure fishing with you. Now as for the worst fisherman statement, lets reveiw. Think T-bone can back me in fact I had big day on red snapper also biggest snapper of weekend refor to pic "caught on Texas size hook". As for, bailout it was the young OKEE not LA that picked up last fish of our sixth limit of boats day... When all trash talkin done the bottum line is had a weekend to talk about with people to talk good about for years to come... Cant wait for next time.

Dude, you were one of the most generous people on the trip! You came bearing gifts and cooked the best dish of the weekend. Definitely the opposite of a bum
I'm my opinion

Heres the Texas guys Joey and Sean hookin it thru the gulf at 45!!! Them boys were a blast to be around, and they took the drum and sheephead jokes all weekend.......That Champion impressed me in the gulf. I was real suprised at what it could take

I wanna thank everyone who was there this weekend. Me and Lauren had a great time!! He texans had her laughing hard friday nite with some hunting and fishing stories. Eman; u really are agreat guy!! From food to helping me and Lauren find places to wade all weekend!! Thank you!!
T-bone is definitely in the top 5 nicest people I have ever met! He had the biggest smiles on his face after every snapper haul!! I glad he got to experience that!
The okie Boys were 100% game on!! They ate like Cajuns, drank like Cajuns, fished like Cajuns ..... Even had funny stories like Cajuns!! Y'all come back soon!
Corey good to see u and meet ur dad! Y'all are good people!!
Bassassin- man u are a funny dude!! Ya had me rolling the first nite!!
Pox- someday u gonna learn to follow that line on ur gps when u go home.. That way u can get back to camp at a decent time; lol . Good seeing you and kori.

All in all it was a fun trip! Waded a lot!! Threw mostly topwater; it's fun to spend some quality time with my wife and get to fish at the same time! We watched the sun come up 2 times and set 2 times while wading. That's pure majic to watch!
Tim thank you for setting this up!
Hope to see y'all soon!!

more pics from blast of a trip. Tim bustin it across gulf Saturday afternoon and a picture perfect sunset at end of a great day fishin. thanks again Tim for Friday afternoon run and a overall great weekend, everyone was cool defiently my kind of people.

Oh no!!! Thought that pic was burned!!!??? Lol!!! He needs to change his screen nsme to T-Bag!!!!

Man, I wasn't too sure about taking that last pic and, I dang sure wasn't sure if it'd get posted! LOL!

Great time and, if I get time, I think I may have a couple of pics to post...I pretty much ditched my phone all weekend so, I didn't take too many pics.

Wait a minute.....wasnt it your idea???

I never thought getting t-bagged by a big fella named t-bone could be funny, but that pic is hilarious

Grand Isle pistoletts recipe is posted.

Hey Eman....think I get a "honorable mention" for best Prank pulled?

I'm not going to sleep next trip....too afraid "Pops" may want some revenge :)

I forgot about that H .
Van and Coreys dad had a couple of nice fish in a bucket in the back of the truck when we left the fishing hole and H grabbed the bucket w/o being seen and put it in his truck. By the time we got back to the camp there was an APB out on the bucket and they were fixing to drive back along hwy 1 and look for it.

My Motto is "if you can't catch fish....Steal some" :)
