NEIL: One last time PLEASE can we lay this all to rest if not for each other then for the sake of how we present MAFF to the public.
i agree with this guy
Sam, respectfully, you need to direct this comment to Napa and Budwick. They are causing the problems. No one else.
i'm sitting in the middle...not on one side or another. just would rather fish than fight.

Im not trynna get in the middle of anything because i have no problem with anybody on here but jbigs saw that i was having financial and offered to help me out till i could pay him back not because he wants the trophy money but because he is a nice guy and offered to help a fellow maffer in need! Thank you again man
I'm glad he offered that to you man. You probably deserve it. But that doesn't mean he has any more respect for maff and I quote " the nef OG's are 3 for 3" he's a fuckin moron and his true colors are really showing. Good luck Sunday buddy . Hope you kill em!

I understand the times have changed.I really don't think we need to fish a full 8 hours.We were fine with 7,My previous get together club only fished 6 hours.I'd be happy with 4 hours.I like competitive fishing,I like to see everyone catch fish,I like this atmosphere.
If anyone has fished Cranbog Hawgs you know what I'm talking about.Everyone gets along and has a great time fishing.I had nothing to do with fishing 8 hours.I say put up your poll for 7 hours or 8 hours.
The nuts and bolts of the tourneys are the same, so then what is it that is causing the difference in opinions?
1. Trying to turn it into the Bassmasters may be one thing?
2. Statements such as "Once the fish are handed to the guy checking to see if they are legal size and alive, they become the property of the TD's (which titles are kind of a joke in itself)" may be another?
3. Maybe leaving stranded boaters and making statements such as "The responsible thing was to get your own fish to the weigh-in first" or "We could always take your fish in for you and come get you later" may have added to it as well?
4. Or saying that "Nobody stepped up to help when asked", when in fact many did and successfully ran their tourneys, might be a bone of contention to some of us who did and offered to again this season? Oh yeah, I was told too many Chiefs, so "No thank you". I still like that guy, but that didn't sit well with me.
5. We've all gotten permits in the past and could have easily done so again, just saying.
6. Aligning yourselves with easily one of the biggest villains (or misunderstood in his own mind) in MAFF history probably didn't help? Too many posts were deleted. Newbies and others who have latched on did not get a chance to see the douchey stuff, just the helpful offering up info side and therefore latched on and protect. Personaly I have no beef with him as Sam so often points out, but too many people do and maybe that is a shame or not?
There were many more examples, but I am done writing novels to say why there is now a difference now then before. These are just my observations, but I'm sure many others feel similarly, whether they say so or not. Most of the people on MAFF are really good guys. Regardless, we can all choose to fish in these tourneys or make our own "The way it used to be", which is exactly what we have done. Anyone can fish how, where and with whoever they want to. Personalities are always going to come in to play, but I just don't remember it being so much until others came aboard and brought the problems of different boards and groups with them. That's all I have to say about that and said what I felt.
Fish on folks!

Thank you! It got old after the first 5 you wrote. We get it!!! Let's all enjoy the rest of the season and keep filling up tournaments and having a good time. Or at least start a thread where people can have their therapy sessions and keep the sign ups for what they are intended for.

You just go where the thread does. Only the first page is what matters of the sign-ups. It was longer but I had to make some points. Doesn't matter though, it is what it is.

sorry guys I had to throw in my 2 cents...I joined this site last summer and ended up fishing around 6 or 7 T's..I also fished with some great guys and fisherman..Sam and Jeff...everyone I have meet on this site has been very helpful...I hope to fish in some of the T's later in the year...There are to many conflicts with my club T's early on...Good luck to all....Lets all please just get along.
steve, i still appreciate the invitations and it was great fishing with you. hope to see you out there again soon and best of luck in your club tournaments and ABA.
I hardly freshwater fish anymore as I chase tuna for the most part with my available time. I get out 2-3 times a year on the freshwater but hope to do a few more MAFF- T's this season. A big thanx to the guys that take the time to make the site and the T's happen!! Alot of unseen, under appreciated, thankless hrs with little return !
Growing pains!! Many sites go through the same issues. Start small, tite group. one guy tells a friend or 2, and so on till it aint such a tite little community anymore! Larger group more oppertunity for A-holes & newbs to rub the nerves of the old guard. Keep helping each other, posting reports, MAFF Tourneys, trips & pics as I enjoy reading all about it!!
