Owl's first trout on the fly came from the Coleman River.

That should about seal it up for me. Shipping address on the way via email

Am I signed up?

[still confused, but trying]

[ Clif - we know who you are and I think there's only one Clif around, so yes. "Clif" will do, for you. ]

Just give it to me and be done with it. I will invite you to AK to use it!

Narwal! I put you on the blog the other day! You were fighting your buddies! haha! You got a blog? Gimme a link and I'll add you to the list.

My tying bench has Rise stickers on it already so that means I should get bonus points. Sign me up.

p.s. I'm going to see Lefty speak in two weeks....

Whoa! You are on the ball! That's exactly the way it's done. I think you are going to be a contender!

Alright, lemme see...that's....

15 points (remind me of the "cat post" again when Mike approves it in case I don't see it and that will be another 10 on top of those 15. )

Look out Clif! He's gonna win your rod an reel!

You know, I really didn't think about it but Mr. Kreh might wonder what in the world is going on when people start coming up wanting him to say "Owl Jones is nuts!" at every event. I'm thinking the first one to ask might have a shot, but after that he'll think we're all nuts! LOL But hey, I mean for 1000 points!? Who cares, right? ( You guys do not know, could not know - how much I want to take this thing to the river and give it some love.....*sigh...)

I'm officially IN.
I have accomplished the following:
5 pts. - Placing a photo of an owl somewhere on your blog/website that is linked to OwlJones.com.
Do I get a bonus point for it being a really nice owl photo that I took myself in nature?

[Sorry Jay, no bonus points! HEY, that IS a nice owl!!! How about some ooooh's and ahhhhhh's? ]

Okay, I'm in...

Facebook note bout the contest

[ Floggin' - correct me if I'm wrong but that's a whopping 70 points! Way to go! .....and the Lead changes hands again! - owl ]

I'm on a roll...

I've got Owl's face, along with a "Fish Licker" fly up on the blog also - in one post:

Owl, a Fish Licker, and sasquatch! [ 20 points for the Fish Licker Fly ] Not sure about my picture. is that a task?

I've got to be up to what, 10000000 points now? I'd be happy to send my shipping address...

Insomnia might be my friend for this contest...

Here's a poem for both Owl Jones and Rise Fishing...

Poem for Points for a Piscatoral Pursuit Stick!

And a fishing trip, with pictures (actually, a couple fishing trips worth of pictures)

"Secret" Pond

[ Another 55 pts! Way to go! ]

Sounds like fun Owl, I've been thinking about starting a blog anyway (I'm gunna MP you about that later...yes MP not PM) but, do I really have to reregister here...nobody will know who I am if I change me name...

crap, I was really hoping for a low turnout and my 20 points would secure the win.

I know who you are Dell. Just make sure you link to everything when you claim your points ( that goes for everyone, please.) so it's easier on me to keep track of them.

Clif - I'm thinking you're going to have some pretty stiff competition once word gets out!

Owl you are a crack pot. Love the list of ways to get points. This has to be one of the best giveaways in a long time. Looks like lots of fun so count me in.

You got it Passinthru...just do a task and claim your first points to make it onto the Leaderboard!

Done, done do it.

Here I come Floggin Water!!!

BTW Owl, I used the contest button in my blog post, does that count for 50pts?

[You sir, just racked up 30 points, but I don't see the "button" from the homepage here on the forum post!? - owl]

No stopping me now Owl.

Image of an owl on my blog linking to your owljones.com - Right hand side just below the follow me on the web.

The image is definitely you!

Passinthru, your totals are updated. Still need to see that "button" show up....

Guys, this is already getting confusing for me!

So, I'm going to do what I've been doing in posting my validation of your points inside your posts ( in bright blue). Each time I validate and add your points to your total, I'll post up and let you know. That way I won't overlook your points - but again, please keep track of them yourself too in case I do slip up and miss something.

I'm not entering the contest, but I do want to know one thing...If I wrote on my chest, would I get double the points??? Just sayin'!!!
