Ellis made the call to award the celebrity-champion trophy based on time, or who caught his fish first. The title went to Cooper.

Boggs did not take the news gently.

At the awards ceremony at the Westin Key West, when hearing the news, Boggs was quoted as saying, “I caught two fish and you caught one and you win?” He then grabbed the trophy and ran out of the room.

Ellis said those who know Boggs know there is a competitive side to him that is dead serious. Maybe Boggs was joking, maybe not. The problem was, Boggs was right.

Another example of why MoneyFish just doesn't work.

Looks like Boggs had a higher SLP (slippery landing percentage).

He also has a fantastic Value Over Replacement Perch.

I had a dream a couple of nights ago, where I was cooking pasta (I love cooking, do it all the time for my family).

Wade Boggs was standing right next to me, also making pasta, while critisizing everything I do from how much salt I put into the boiling water to how I make the cream sauce right. He was trying to out-cook me, and it was so annoying.

I was wondering why the hell I had this strange dream, and now realised it is bacause I read this thread that night!!!

Wade Boggs... a competitive Cook, too.
