I would apologize for even thinking of claiming 1st prize.

Do the right thing or you will be "Mr. Shutout" for the rest of your fishing life.

Sure, you've got just as much right as anybody else for stating your opinion, regardless of the number of posts.
But, when you put out a blanket statement like, "you will be Mr. Shutout", your implication is that the rest of us will shut him out, too. If nobody but you shuts him out, I'd hardly call him Mr. Shutout.
Read the other responses on this post, the person who ran the contest, didn't disqualify him, and most everybody thought the story was at least somewhat interesting.
I even stated in one of my responses, "It wasn't the most bonafide catch, but it sure was one hell of a story". So, go ahead, and state your opinion, no one's holding you back. Just try not to imply that others feel the way you do, and will black-ball him.
