Location: oswego, il | When I got to the southside musky hawks meeting last night, I seen a guy in the corner with a bunch of baits for sale. Upon my arrival to the table, I seen 4 HR baits. Just as I aksed the price a guy came up and grabbed the 8" enchanter and 10" hughey. He said 15 bucks each so I grabbed the two remaining 8" shakers. As the meeting went on, in came this person looking somewhat vertically challenged(kevin) and he(kevin) came up and said hi. Seeing how he(kevin) was late I showed him(kevin) my find, my two 8" shakers I got for 30 bucks. When I told him(kevin) there were no more for sale he(kevin) had a look on his(kevin) face like somebody just ran over his(kevin) dog. He(kevin) shakily went for his(kevin) wallet and asked if he could buy one for 20 bucks. Being the nicest guy in the world, I sold him(kevin) one for 15 bucks and even gave him(kevin) the choice of which one he(kevin) wanted. I think I should be up for a nobel prize of some sort.

| that's funny.
when i read $125 i was left trying to figure out if he was serious or not...
todd, i hope he at least bought you a beer along with it! |
|

|
| I hope this is just a Todd story, because I dropped some serious coin on my two custom painted HR Shakers!  |
|
| |
|
| So what you're saying Todd is that you still have one left? |

| Todd, you still owe me for wrecking the original pig jr. market, AND that fishing trip I held the back deck open for you and you didn't take, so I figure with those two things and the hughey, send me the bait and an extra $10 and we will just call it even...
Do you need my address or did you just want to drop it off? |

| Way to go Todd. Glad to see there's still some nice guys out there somewhere.
Hey Jonesi, see that? There's still a nice guy out there who's not out to gouge his friends for HR's like someone I know.
Did you ever find that box of HR's for sale or ya still pulling the "well some guy just came and picked that box up last night but I do have these. Oh, that ones not for sale, oh that's an original, I couldn't part with that one" scam
Just kidding Jonesi. Catch ya later.

Location: Williamstown, WV | Yeah Todd is a great guy. He'll be an even greater guy after the elections because he's sending me a free bait. Todd's baits are one of a kind and I love them. You don't know how many guys ask me about those baits.

Location: New Baden IL | Just another ToddM story, supporting his claim of "NICENESS"
I traded a few baits with Todd, right here at Muskie first. He sent me the baits I swapped for and 2 of his TM Tails. It was like he read my mind about colors and sent exactly what I would have asked for if I knew he was sending them.
All kidding about the boat aside, Todd really is a pretty nice guy.
I'm feeling a little sick with all this stuff.

Location: Minneapolis, MN | Wait a minute.....while everyone is making their vote for Todd to be the nice guy (me included) did we all overlook the fact that he had the chance to say to the guy selling the HR's for $15.00 something like, hey do you realize these are worth $50? ....nope, Todd snapped them up and ran. Nice guy? |

Location: oswego, il | Joe, Joe, Joe. I did mention to the guy they were worth way more and he knew what he had, he just wanted to get rid of them. Actually I put up this post to give kevin a hard time, that is why I mentioned his name so much in the post and to open myslef up for some fun ridicule so I welcome guests post. Have fun, tear me down like a pinata full of 100 dollar bills, I can take it. |

Todd will want one of your special custom lures back me thinks!
Oh, and Mr. Nice Guy Todd, can I get some TM tails at the next FRV meeting? |
