stories behind the pics

Things have been kinda stressful around here lately and can’t get out and fish because of finals week, So I fugured now would be a good tiem to ask about people’s avatars. Some of you guys have some strange pics, Briank,….I didn’t say strange looking Some of have some big fish, others are just odd, Everytime I come across fishingmachine’s,……..it puzzles me, sander’s got a couple of beauties. briank,…..what is that? and for cryin out loud, turn your head lamp off.

Mine is a picture of “ole five dollar”. I was out fishing with a buddy one moring and we put a five spot on the first 20″+ walleye. First of all, this buddy is so tight getting even a penny out of him is a friggin’ miracle.

Well, we fished all morning with neither of us catching a good walleye. We decided to call it a morning because we were getting tired, I worked the night shift then, when I decided to hit one last spot on the way back to Bay City. We tried a quick downstream pass at Needle Island. We got right to the bottom of the island when she hit.

She’s only about 4 LBS. but I still rib my buddy about the last second catch.

My avatar is my first bass over 5 pounds. I was fishing with a friend on Minnetonka when I caught this fish. The fight difference between this fish and a 3 pounder is still burned in my mind. The fish came by the boat once and my friend says in a smart tone, “I know what that is!”. He thought it was a Carp.

The fish was 22″ and weight 5.8 pounds.

Mine is an 8 1/2 lb. walleye caught in a Walleye Searchers Tournament on pool 4 of the Mississipi River.
Thanks, Bill

Mine’s a 10 lb lake trout caught during our annual late Sept Canada trip. As usual, it was snowing that day. Just thought that there were plenty walleye, cat, and bass pictures here.

Mine is ice fishing out of the Crestliner on P3 this spring. You can actually see the belly of a sauger Crossin’ Eyes is fighting the upper left hand side of the hole.

My pic is a pair of Green Bay Walleyes caught pulling crawler harnesses across a reef. Both fish hit at the same time.

I didnt have a scale in the boat so you will have to guess the weight?

Mines my boy holding a stringer of assorted fish from up at the cabin!

Anybody heard from my favorite avator lately… SKINDOG? Damn that one’s funny

Mine is a 39 inch Northern caught on Mille Lacs trolling with a 10″ Jake for Muskie. Wouldn’t you know it, it was the only fish we caught all day. Biggest fish of my life probably approaching 20 lbs. This was a girthy fish that I won’t soon forget. She is still in there waiting for the next person to have an adventure…

Take care!

Now that thar is funny…(and impossable)

Almost forgot…that’s a picture of my new headlamp from Wallmart.

Oh, and the fish is a 3 lbs channel cat

My picture is my last California 10 pound Largemouth Bass ( I also caught a 10 plus a year or two before this one), I caught it during March 0f 2003 during one of my family trips out to near where I was raised. It was caught in the Sacramento River Delta. It measured 24 1/2 inches. I sent a pic to InFisherman Mag for a Master Angler Release patch. The Magazine also used this Bass (different pic) and myself in the Jan 05 issue article on Early Spring Giant Largemouth Bass. WOW, What a fish, It is also on my computer Wall Paper permanently. Jack..

I’m not responsible for my avatar, but they thought I looked alot like this guy.

Blue? Does the guy in your avitar have a chew in?

Nope no chew…just a penchant for pure evil..

Mine is my son Christopher with his biggest (to date) crappie that he caught on Pine Lake just north of Somerset on his first trip to that lake when we moved there two years ago.

The fish in my left hand is my first largemouth over 5 lbs (21 1/4 inches), the one in my right hand is a 18 1/2 inch largemouth I caught on the next cast.

Mine is the first bass over 5 pounds I caught in a tournament.

Hope I can find that old gal again this spring sometime.

Mine is my first legal musky (caught on Pewaukee Lake in Waukesha County) after four years trying.

My avatar is a nice 12″ crappie. I caught the fish while jigging a crawfish lure for bass. The fish was in three feet of water in early July.

Mine is a 28″ walleye I caught on Gull Lake while pre-fishing for the Camp Confidence Fishing Classic in 2000.

Mine is of some wierd 19″ botttom sucking fish ??????? Only to be outdone 2 minutes later when my grilfriend caught a 20.25″ bottom sucker.

Could someone tell me what this ugly, good for nothing, cattin’ cut bait thing is

Hmmm…Looks to me like a picture of Rob Stenger….

Briank:

Just curious about your comments… I have the lure if you would like me to take a picture of the marks caused by this fish. 10″ = 10 inches nothing spectacular about this bait and quite commonly used on Mille Lacs for trolling. My Muskie partner caught a 43″ muskie on almost the identical lure only about 10 days before I caught this one. I am probably missing out on some tongue-and-cheek humor that I need clarification on.

Take care!
