PLEASE PASS THE MOJO

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

Ok,..hear me out.

This is one of my nieces.

The girl can fish. Age 6. 5 wt fly rod

Stick with me.

This is a picture that shows my old "tuna charm" neclace.

closer

This is made of a chunk of bone carved and polished in the shape of a fish on a hemp choker with a huge snap lock swivel for a clasp in the back.

I fished Cape Cod Bay for 3 yrs, learning, zero-ing, and learning some more,...no tuna for me. Learned a ton and made the connections that eventually had me steering in the right direction. Now all I need was lady luck,...or a little mojo.

A girl I was dating had seen this neclace somewhere and bought it for me just cause it was cool. Called it the "tuna charm,...gonna change the tides"

Guess what.

Tuna for me.

I hit 4 tuna the first week of the season bringing in a respectable 13k+.

Game on

So one day, the tuna charm finally wore through at the clasp and all was lost. I put it away and forgot about it. Well I found it again cleaning out my parents house as they were selling. My niece was with me and I got to tellin' tuna tales. She offered to make me a new choker for it and get it back in service. I went to their house today and it was done.

Awesome, Love it!! Thanks babydoll!! (she will be following this post at home with my sister)

Well, in her spare time, they were shopping at a trinket store (they live on the ocean) and my niece picked up this piece and bought it for uncle Russ. When she got home she built it into a keychain for me.

Now this is what I want to do.

I want to send this to someone on the board and have them take it fishing. (Please be camera ready)

Take it fishing, catch a fish, rub the charm on the fish, take a pic and send it on to the next guy.

In places like Georgia where a group of guys fish locally together, I expect it to move well. If randall and fluke are fishing together, ctach one. Rub and photo and hand it to the other guy in the boat. If you pass Ryan in your travels that night, get it over to his boat and so on. PACK THIS THING!.

Post all pics under this thread.

Send it on to another member. Don't tell anyone where it's going.

I want to send this thing around the country or even the world now that BR is international. Build it full of mojo and we can figure out the best use for it later.

My offering would be to get it to someone who deserves all our mojo. Someone like Clay Dyer. Second isn't good enough for a soul so large,...let's build this thing up to be a mojo bomb that he can take on tour with him next year. He does so much for others, I think it's time a group like ours did somthing for him.Thoughts?

Sounds like a cool idea.  I'll sign up for the task.  you cant spell MOJO with out the MO in it.

[Rose_Jackets67]

Russ - I think this is a killer idea, and I've seen similar things done on the 4x4 and dragracing boards I frequent. It'd probably be easier If you set up a list in this thread or another one so that people know where the 'mojo charm' is and where it's going.

adam

ps - sign me up, but maybe a few spots down the list, as the boat isn't in the water right now

[Matt Fly]

Well, for those who have seen Friday night lights, theresno better MOJO than My own Odessa Permain Panthers.     Mojo Magic.

So, I'd like to have the MOJO Magic in the later part of Sept. for the Big Bass Splash on Lake Fork.  If thats enough heads up.

[rocknfish9001]

Absolute genious. Does it have to be a big fish?

[senko_77]

I'll take it to my hoss lake.  Will get a 10 and rub that keychain all over the fish.  It will be nice and lunkered up for clay

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

ok, no list. We will leave list maintenence to the member challenge,lol. Just PM someone for their addy that you think would be up forit. I'm suremany will be and if you can't think of anyone,look here for guys that thought it was a good idea but havn't gotten it yet.

M_Fly- Remember, this is to put mojo INTO, not to use for mojo. Pack it with mojo and send it on. Preferably you can still take it to the Big Bass Splash, just make sure you rub it on the fish that gets you and Willy one of those Tritons!

Rock- Absolutely not but sure wouldn't hurt!  

Remember that this stemmed from tuna fishing so specie isn't so important.  It could be your daughters bluegill if it adds 1 more person to the pot!

[Lightninrod]

LBH:  You have a PM

[Morrolan]

Whatever you do, keep the thing far away from me, or it'll be ruined forever.  

I'm sure a lot of you have read Pat McManus's stories about his legendary powers to repel fish & game - guides run away in fear, tournament directors & anglers pay him to go to another state, etc.  Well, I often wonder if ol' Pat and I aren't somehow related.  ;D

So keep it away from me, if you value it.  To be safe, don't even have it on the same lake I'm on, or you run the definite risk of it transforming from the Mojo Icon to the Magical Skunk Token.

[BassMaster_1]

I hit 4 tuna the first week of the season bringing in a respectable 13k+

Is that what you cashed in on for the fish?  Or won in a tourney?  

[basser89]

I like it LBH! Send it my way and we'll put some MD magic in it with a Potomac smallie or I'll take it to the farm pond and get "ole cut tail" to give up some of her mojo!

[slappy]

interesting...maybe i should go to the necklace department instead of fishing, next time i'm out

[KU_Bassmaster.]

AWSEOME IDEA!!!!!

[YankeesWin]

8-) LBH that's the coolest idea I've ever heard of.  I would love the chance to pack that baby with some Mid-West MOJO!!

[KYbass1276]

Sounds like a winner to me Send it on down

Fish are sold at the dock to a "brokerage firm" who then gets it dressed, iced and packed in a coffin. Coffins are loaded on trucks and up to Logan airport (Boston) by 10pm and off to Taiwan or Japan for the early morning auctions. Lots of details in between, different types of deals are made, I had to get burned on the first fish to learn. It was an A- grade, 541lbs dressed. Should have been 7 or 8k alone. I learned fast.

There is a sales ticket framed in the office at the dock in Marschfield Mass. Fish sold for $21,200. Like they say in California,...this ain't tournament fishin',lol!!

Dude,........I have EVERY confidence that this group of people can all but talk the fish into the boat for you! Go to the appropriate forum and tell us exactly what you are doing. Surely, we can re-direct you to go meet some Grit lips in person! A post like that will get special attention,...noone should suffer so.

[Glenn]

LBH - what an outstanding idea!  Deal me in!

[Bass_Newbie]

Sweet idea! Add my name to the list I'll throw some mojo on it!

Charles

[Skwerl]

I'd love to slobber a lil MOJO on it.  

[abelfisher]

WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!  8-) 8-)

[Hawg_Hunter]

Bring it to Iowa!!!! I'm in!!

HH

[jomatty]

thats a great idea.  what i really need to do now is ship a poker chip around the country and get some mojo going on it.  that is a good idea and where i really need the luck lol lol

Heh. Thanks, but it's been tried many times.  Besides, I wouldn't actually call it "suffering."  It's just one of those things.  Some people can naturally shoot a great jump shot; some people are intriniscally good at high-level mathematics.  Myself, I have the innate ability to cause fish to get lockjaw, deer to pull the Vanishing Trick, pheasants to learn to dig burrows, ducks to suddenly prefer desert climes ... well, you get the idea.   ;D  After a while, you learn to live with it and even see the humor in it.  Still, you don't want me anywhere near your mojo amulet.  

[Lightninrod]

Send it down to the deep South and I'll do my best too .

[alhuff]

LBH, i think we can get a few of the Notheren Va BR guys or gals to join you on this guest for MOJO.

Let us know the schedule and such.
