Dang, some S.O.B done pilfered mah name!! Ain't right to steal sumthin' that's already bin stole once! (BTW, I lifted the name from Scot Baio's character on "Arrested Developement".)

I've got 2 words for that 'bow: Jenny Craig... That is one fat fish, man!!! Thanks for the pics, Jeff.

Nah, he's just been stirring up another forum. Be careful, Tako, them hunters is armed!!! Nice vids; thanks for postin'!!

Yep. Mr.Google confirmed it; another rednecked Albertan!

I believe Mr.Barnes is referring to using a "tube thingy", which I'm guessing is Newfanese for float-tube/belly boat. I, for one, would LOVE to see the results of attaching an electric motor to a belly boat...bet it would make a very loud "BANG" when he screwed the motor mount to the tube!!!

Wow!!! Can't believe G-Spot turned 40 today; whatever you do, do not start acting your age! Hope you got out for a birthday fish; hope it was epic. Happy Birthday, bro'! Catch ya later, Steve

Happy t'irty-first, ya young pup! Hope the river treated ya good today;not many better ways to spend your birthday... All the best, Steve

That's a good one, man; very funny!!!

I hear they're gonna change the name of the reservoir from Bullshead to "Beedhead Reservoir".The only problem is, they want it to be a surprise for you, Jeff; but, you never leave there long enough for 'em to change the danged sign!!! Some nice pics of some beautiful fish, my friend; keep 'em comin'! Later, Steve

How'd ya like to get yer hands on dem tievin' sleveens, b'y? Lard tunderin', I lows ya could boot 'em half way to Capelin Cove! Seriously, that really sucks, man! Sorry to hear about it; hope you got good insurance with not too big a deductible. Good luck, me brudder! Later, Steve

Cut or waxed???

Another sweet set of pics, Clive. Well done! Hate to be picky, but you forgot to use the red-eye reduction in the Cinnamon Teal pic...

If you were a true blonde, you would forget them 5 minutes after you read 'em; then, they'd be new jokes every time!

The moose pic is real cool; nice job, mang!

Used to icefish Eagle a bit, always had some luck. Haven't heard many good reports for a few years. Saw the guy next to me pull a fat 43 incher through the ice about 5 years ago.

Never fished smallies, but made quite a few trips to Duck Lake for largemouths in the past. Definitely a blast, especially those heart-stopping topwater takes. That being said, I kinda hafta agree with Tako on the idea of stocking non-native fish being a bad thing. Tako, you & I can just stick to catching "native" brookies & browns, right? BTW, I checked out the BassfishingBC forum; very nice. Hopefully it grows & becomes as useful & entertaining as this forum. I know I'll use it when I'm getting ready to head out there; smallies are on my wish-list.

HMMM... BBT's "hottest 80's chick".... For some reason, I was kinda expecting it to be Divine. Remember him/her?

440+ views, 57 measly votes???? WTF gives? Let's show these guys some appreciation for their art, y'all! Point-and-click, point-and-click... It ain't so difficult, is it? Danged Albertans and their voters' apathy...

Tissue?? Do ya think he's gonna get that excited when the Flames win in double O.T???

Huselius actually played with a little bit of an edge tonight. WTF? Lombardi is becoming a premier defensive player, especially on the PK; his shot-blocking is phenomenal! Hopefully, this is the version of the Flames that shows up in the Sharktank.

Well, now I know what this thread was all about; just an excuse for Brian to remind us what a "Hawgstoppah" is! I carry a tape, very seldom pull it out. My new cradle is 24" and is marked for easy, accurate measurements. Now I only have to pull out my tape for the trout that hangs over the end of the cradle; I figure that tape should outlive me, 'cuz it ain't gonna see the light of day too frickin' often. One thing I've noticed- when I see a fish jump at the end of my line, I often underestimate the size. Many times I've guessed a jumping fish to be a 17-18 incher, only to realize it's much bigger when I bring it to hand. So, now, if I lose one after I've seen it fly, I just add 4" to what I think the size is! For the sake of fish stories, I prefer to lose the fish; they're bigger that way! -Steve-

That Boot Camp sounds like a sweet deal; if I was just starting out I'd be all over that like white on rice! Then, the next thing I'd do is come on this forum & say, "Man, I've been out 6 times & haven't seen a fish; wish I had someone to show me the ins & outs of flyfishing the Bow/creeks/lakes..."( whichever you prefer). There's quite a few decent guys & gals on here who are happy to 'pay forward' the help they've received in the past. Good luck! Flyfishin' is frickin' awesome! -Steve-

Hope you enjoy your new toy & the good karma that your donation brings to it, Mr. B! Awesome way to 'pay it forward'...

Not sure what did the damage, but I can tell you he's still goin' strong 8 days later... I caught him yesterday, removed a BARBED SJW from his tail, & he swam away perfectly fine. PINCH YER BARBS, Y'ALL!!!

Yet another in the series of great stories from our favorite Texican... An awesome story, well told. Hope tomorrow yields a great story as well. Pat McManus must be starting to get nervous; these stories should be published, my friend! Later, Steve
