    Are you ready for this one? We had five guys that would get together one weekend a summer and fish/camp/drink/ect as to not tell where else we might of gone. One of the guys worked delievering beer. He got us 5 old mill beer t-shirts. We all wore them on the trip. We stoped in for bait, in the walks the 5 of us with the shirts on. The guy ask’s about the shirts. We tell him we were the Old Mill Pro Fishing Team. He believed us. So we called the club O.M.F.T. I figured I’d use it here.

    Besides my oldest son and daughter, the only thing my ex wife ever gave me worth a d-mn. She said I have a “fishing problem” I said, “no, I have no problems fishing.”

    So my buddy says to me that day…you know, you are kind of a “fishaholic” you get pretty grumpy if you don’t get to go fishing often enough.

    So I changed the spelling a bit to be truely unique.

    The day I registered (looooooooooong time ago on Fish the River) I needed a name fast and since I have had Lund boats forever and fish for Walleyes, the name LundgEYE suddenly came to mind and has been with me ever since. Frank Lukes, Rochester

    The Haywood came about as part of a fun Prank Call I like to make to some of my pals..
    It’s a bit on the PG-13 side so I will not go into details.

    When i used to live in La Crosse i used to fish the wings and backwaters. One spring i noticed all the small crawfish and snails etc. there was in the very abundant and clean moss in all the mossy areas. I was amazed at the things living there, it impressed me and still have memories. I made my name up because of the moss in those areas and my name dan,,,mossydan

    When I was in high school some buddies and I were camping and needed some fire wood…I came back with a tree over my shoulders. They called me Robsquatch from then on. I also had the nickname Otis because I played defensive line in football (Otis Sistrunk) and because I liked to drink (Andy Griffith show) . I first registered as Knute but then later changed it to Newt (Rob Knutson).

    SUNNYD – Nickname given to me in high school that stuck with me. Last name of Sundet probably had something to do with the nickname origin. I should have probably gone with Speckvillian, but there are some others here (including you Scott) which can make this claim as well….

    Take care!

    Since I was little I always wanted the biggest and the best and I always wanted to have two of everything. I am a little better now in my older age but still relapse from time to time. Hence my 120 gallon fish tank for sale on the site because it does not fit in my new townhouse.

    Umm, well My name is nick, nothing much to that I had to add the *’s to the name, because plain old nick was already taken, not because I’m a superstar or anything.

    Mn-RST-rider my pervious name refered to a bike I used to own, it was a Aprilia Futura, but I no longer have the bike, and the name made me look like minister rider so It really had to go.

    I was on vacation in Minnesota a couple of years ago drinking and playing “Who wants to be a millionaire” and when asked what foundation I was playing for, “Crippled Crappie” foundation instantly came to mind.
