It was Tigger, but his photo is missing now. SCANDAL!

Hmm, what happened to Tigger's pic; why was it deleted? There are only a few WT members that possess that type of ADMIN power...... Myself, Swede (he's up in a tree somewhere, no service, so he's in the clear), Lefty, Tigger (why would he delete his own picture, a winning one at that?), and Indian Summer. Does anyone want to investigate this case... the WT Case of the Snuffed Picture?

Are you pointing a finger at me! I’m just the messenger! I just looked and it’s gone from the original thread. I smell foul play! This is starting to look like the Trump/Biden election! :lol:

Well that leaves only one option. The butler did it.

Haha! Nope. I’m a really good detective. There was a vote at the last second. Then the boss declared Tig the winner. So he was logged on. That puts him at the scene of the crime. While casting his vote and making the winner post he inadvertently deleted the photo! Probably had a long day at work. Also distracted by his upcoming elk hunt. He probably doesn’t even know he did it since his mind is on some mountain in Wyoming!

Except... the winning vote was cast by yours truly. I don't have admin powers (probably a good thing) so you can't blame me!

A little backstory on the fish. A few years ago, she caught her first big pike right at the boat. Scared the daylights out of her. Ever since then, all she wants to catch up there is another one. The next year, she didnt get one. Then Covid didnt let us go for 2 years. Finally, this year, we got to got and she hooked this one. My oh my, were there squeals of delight. She was so excited.

She had an incredible year as a sportswoman this last year. A nice 5X5 bull, a big whitetail, and a big pike. but now she is in college and may not get to do much hunting or fishing for the foreseeable future.
