Ohiobucks Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Just FYI - if you are ever at an outdoor function with Tominator and his clan, don't ever tell his oldest son Joe that you will give him $20 if he eats the 4 winged stone fly he just caught and is showing everybody. This thing was probably 2" long with 4 big wings, all grey in color....not very appetizing looking to say the least. As soon as I threw the offer out there, Joe made me shake on it, and proceeded to munch this thing down. We all had a good laugh, and I handed him the $20.... Chris can produce a picture of the beast for us I'm sure (the fly, not Joe).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 LOL. That is pretty funny Tom. Fear factor practice Chris? What can I say, the boy likes money. As soon as Joe said "shake on it because my dad tricked me once..." And, I was wrong, it was a Dobsonfly Tom, not a stonefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 He has to take after his Dad..... Almost got $20 myself one day, but a little girl asked for the cicada that landed on my shirt while Tom and I were down at The Memorial Tournament a couple years ago.

After the bug feast, I mentioned that I probably could have said $5 as fast as he put that thing down..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Do you suppose it tasted like chicken??? LOL That was probably worth the $20 just for the entertainment!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Dang Tom...you should have had the video camera ready for that one. Just think what it might have been worth to you to submit it to something like America's funniest home videos. Your fault for not being prepared. Now that you've set the price, get the video camera ready for the next bug feast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
