New shirt?

[fritz]

I will contest every answer that Josh says I missed! I will not accept anything other than first place! Hah!

[Casper]

I retired last year, resting on my 2013 win. Maybe you have a chance this year Fritz.

[Josh Blaylock]

Maybe you have a chance this year Fritz.

doubtful.........

[fritz]

It was a fluke win Casper. I thought i only had to enter to win

What do you mean "doubtful"

[Casper]

Fluke?
I have skills few are aware of.
With that fluke comment i blazed through and submitted my answers.
You better go for that extra point if you want to at least tie me.

[fritz]

Well!!! Fishmas is over. What are the results Josh?

[Josh Blaylock]

Don't know...who's in charge of compiling the results.....

Actually, a nasty stomach bug has had me down since Saturday and I haven't done it yet.

[Matt DeLaVega]

Heather and I had it. You should be good tomorrow. Only lasted about3-4 days. We'll look forward to the results tomorrow.

Great fun again Josh. You had some challenging as well as tricky questions. I almost missed the redlip darter, remembered the ashy darter split just as I started to turn it in. Fun to dive back into NANFA history too.

[Isaac Szabo]

Congratulations Mike! Thank you Josh for doing this again. It was fun.

Thanks Isaac.
And Congratulations!
My computer is acting more and more frazzled but every time i run a "clean" it says all is well. The day is coming for either a big hammer or new system.

I missed 2, maybe 3 questions. Part 1, number 4... i answered as Chris Scharpf. Who the dickens is Editor Bill Scoggins? Oh my, i obviously misread the date. Chris Scharpf was likely still in diapers. Californian Mr. Scoggins had been NANFA's president in 1977 and became American Currents editor in 1979. Sorry Bill and Thank You!
Part 1, number 8. NOT Fall, 1972. Hum. Unsure where i got that wrong date... ah... i see... you tricked me good! I better be careful next time if i wanna dipnet in a new shirt.

http://www.nanfa.org/history.shtml

Part 1, question 12. I answered, ( correctly and AKA... ) Hart's Rivulus but the answer is "Giant". Hum. Them fish can walk about and folks eat them down in South America. Where are we now?

I need to look at those tricky questions again as i do not recall those first 2. ( Done ).

Submit to all authority.

Good Job Josh.

[Josh Blaylock]

A note to you winners. I've had a ton of sicknesses in my household and a death in the family that took me to Virginia. I'll get the prizes out asap.

Don't worry about it Josh. It's not important at all. I just played for the fun of it, not because I wanted to win a prize. Just take care of yourself and your family. I hope things get better soon.
