A couple of my redneck friends went out 3 days before the tournament and caught a huge 64 lb kind and put it in a fish basket to keep it alive. Won the tournament, stole a new fountain w trip verados from another competetor and stopped by hooters and picked up a couple of honeys by showing off there new fountain. How do you make those darn smiley faces anyway?

The Team Hooters boat was successfully reposessed today by its rightful owner after a shootout at the Pelican Pub in S Mobile County. While the renouned "Banded Fisherman" was having lunch today at the Pelican Pub, Alden and his assitants disconnected the boat from ES's truck, put it on their truck and took off. ES came running out of the PP shooting several times at the departing truck. A 15 mile high speed truck chase followed with ES in pursuit still firing shots. A failed evasive manuever resulted in the the Hooters rig being jacknifed in the I-10 median, no damage apparent. ES got out of his truck with gun drawn apparently ready to shoot Alden but an unmarked police car had a speed trap set up nearby and intervened. When I left the scene all seemed OK with 6 state and local police cars present, ES in at least temporary custody, and Alden with his boat still connected to his truck. I publish all this in an attempt to head off any second-hand gossip that I'm sure could have gotten really out of control about this unfortunate incident

Hooters boat involved in chase, arrests

A 38-foot fishing boat emblazoned with the Hooters restaurant logo is back in the hands of its North Carolina owner after a highway chase that led to the arrest of a Mobile-area hunter and sport fisherman, according to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office.
Edmund H. "Eddie" Smith IV was released on a $2,050 bond Tuesday on charges of menacing, reckless endangerment and carrying a pistol without a permit, sheriff's spokesman Chad Tucker said.
Alabama State Troopers called the Sheriff's Office at 5 p.m. Monday after witnessing the end of a chase between Smith and Alden Thornton of North Carolina.
Thornton, who was towing the boat, and Smith, who was chasing him, both "flew into the median" of Dauphin Island Parkway, near Interstate 10, Tucker said.
"A trooper had actually witnessed Edmund Smith beating a .45-caliber pistol against the window in his vehicle," Tucker said, adding that Smith was "tapping the gun on the window toward" Thornton.
Thornton had repossessed the boat from Smith, Tucker said. At the scene, however, Smith told authorities that Thornton had stolen the boat from him.
"At the scene on I-10, we were unable to determine who was the rightful owner of the boat, so we impounded it," Tucker said.
A judge later ruled that the boat, a Fountain Tournament Edition with four 250-horsepower engines, belonged to Thornton. Authorities released the vessel to him, Tucker said.
Contacted Wednesday, Thornton declined to comment on the incident.
While the relationship between Smith and Thornton was unclear, both men are involved in sport-fishing tournaments.
Smith was on probation, Tucker said, and "had removed an ankle bracelet to go to a fishing tournament, which he won."
"He also had an active warrant out of Baldwin County for fraud," Tucker said.
Team Hooters, while captained by Thornton, won first place in the pro division of the Kajun Sportsman king mackerel tournament held June 17-18 at Port Fourchon, La., according to reports.
In 1998, Smith pled guilty in federal court to illegally importing a deer that he killed in Canada in 1994. Smith was sentenced by U.S. Magistrate Bert Milling to a year of probation and a $2,500 fine and was forced to hand over the trophy head, a fox hide and a coyote hide to the government.

Now wouldn't that make fishing tournaments a little more exicting. Lets have everyone allowed to carry firepower to make the race back to the weigh in a little more exiting, shooting it out . That's my kind or tourney

LMAO! I can't help but think about a couple of dually pickups, one with a "HOOTERS" boat attached, shooting it out heading down the road until they jack knife. Bo and Luke Duke comes to mind. Yeeehaaaawwww!

I feel stupid that I fell for this! This is a gen- U-Wine scripted marketing ploy by the SKA that the WWE or even B.A.S.S. could not come up with! What better way to reach your target market than this? This free publicity will sell more wangs and Bud than ever. If only Reggie was involved with the repo. That there would be classic. I'm sure he can be worked into the next episode, just hope his wig can take the car chase rigors.
