Usually, scandal and intrigue are not part of the DK Open, but this year's fall event was the exception with several 'incidents' occurring. First thing in the morning, the team of MadWags and djkimmel had 'words' with the local team of genie and spinninbug due to unsubstantiated charges (no official protests were filed) that we 'cut them off' on a spot. Things were tense throughout the day as genie would run by honking his horn while yelling "Cheaters!!!"

I actually thought he was yelling "heaters!" due to the cold, but Wags said, "no, he's yelling squeakers" because apparently, that is what genie normally catches.

Well, let me backup a little (and go forward too). Questions where raised at the weigh in about the impartiality of the day's partner draw when it was found that one djkimmel had been teamed up with the spring 2008 DK Open champ MadWags. I assured everyone present the draw had been completely random... well, with one exception.

I got a PM just before the draw from a certain member who shall be unnamed for privacy reasons. This member asked that she not be drawn with her husband for the event. I honored that request out of courtesy and that is all I can say about that issue. Well, other than it was not alright to message my phone with a picture of her hubby's 6 pound smallmouth bass caught in practice Friday afternoon while I was still at work myself!!!
