What Brought you here?

[Central Bassman]

Internet freak ... live on this thing... and I need something to do when i was in school haha

[UdeLakeTom]

I did a search for ice fishing...somehow landed here. 2 years ago I registered, forgot what I did to register, so I created a new username and been here since. Lots of info, even if some of it might not be too useful.

"I'm a fm-ahaulic "

I only have one person to blame for getting hooked on this sight ever day. woody1975, thanks a bunch! for browsing one day at work. Its been my "Home away from home" ever since.

Hey Lawdog

OMG, the day of Nonsense posts on the DNR/ATV forum was specifically one of the days I was thinking of.

Remember my topic of "Have you hugged your bunny today?"

I was in tears with the buddies at work when I hit submit on that story.

The popemobile ATV, the 75 ft snorkel, thanks for bringing them up. Oh man what a day on an internet forum that was.

LMAO

[marine_man]

I ended up over here after the DNR forum got shut down. I was more of a lurker though and didn't post much.. but sure did get a kick out of reading the posts!

[lookincalifornia]

perhaps they should add an annoyed wives forum. but then we'd never get to go online

[Bobb-o]

yeah Lawdog, originally started to go to become a CO saw how few jobs were going to be available over the next couple years and switched to Environmental Studies with a Policy and Planning Emphasis and a minor in Applied Public Policy. Hopefull work for the DNR, EPA, or PCA after school, but who knows maybe one day i will be governor or DNR commissioner

Deitz threatened me with "great bodily harm" if I did not join. But Deitz always threatens me

I researched the web for a good advertising venue and web hosting site. Rick quoted me a price that fit within our budget and off we went. Agape's bookings have increased by about 30% since then. I like to think it is because of my outstanding guiding skills and ability to always find fish. Not to mention extraordinary people skills, backed by selfless interests and the ability to spin whimsical tales enjoyed by all... my wife said it was because of a larger advertising budget

[Deitz Dittrich]

Liar Pants on Fire!!!! You joined before I did...

My story is kind of lame.. I used to go to a cali based fishing page, and just happend to check if there was a similar page for the midwest. Tahhh Dahhh here it was... Been a fun ride so far!

[Coach1310]

Was searching for fishing reports in MN and BAM!! there Fishing Minnesota was. Not quite sure what I would do without it!!!

I just wish I would have thought to print out all those crazy threads that day to save them for posteriety. I didn't get boo done at work that day, but honestly I don't remember another day when I've laughed so much...

[river rat316]

Well I'm ashamed to admit this but I got blanked... twice in a row out on the river... I was so distraught after the second time it was either find a way to catch fish or do bodily harm... so I found this site.... then I found a bunch of ahhh.... fisherman .. from the upper miss forum... and with no help at all from BLB I started catching fish again... between this and the other million hours I spend reading about fishing I have become a completely different fisherman than I was 3 years ago!.... ohhh and my wife hates these sites

[waterwolff]

At the time I was surfing walleye fishing websites and happened upon FM. It now holds down the number 1 position in my Favorites.

[Matt Johnson]

I found this site while browsing the Internet for fishing info. Then I happened to meet Rick, Dennis Steele (fishhead at the time), Jim W, Paul Waldowski (pwaldow at the time) and Tom Herman (gullguide at the time) at a sport show. Then it just took off from there

Remember it like it was yesterday...

[fishinchicks]

I was looking on a local site, and they had a "local fishing report" that linked to FM. I lurked for about a week before joining. Now, I always tell Hubby what the guys are saying in the NASCAR forum, as well as gleaning tips from the Bass forum. My almost 13 year old daughter likes to read stuff on here as well, so I appreciate the fact that I don't have to censor much.

[Kyle Sandberg]

On memorable summer day I was looking for differient resorts and launches on Mile Lacs and came across the resort finder on this site. I started exploring and came across the fishing section. I lurked around for a month before the lure of the site mad me join.

[Harmonica Bear]

One time, long ago, a very good friend of mine (Huskminn) used to rant and rave about this site. Then one fall he invited me to a get-together on Mille Lacs and fish a launch. I said I might show up on Friday night and fish the launch Saturday night depending on how grouse hunting was that day (it was the grouse opener). Anyway, I drive by the resort that infamous Friday night and see this big bon-fire. Well, I decide to pull in, not knowing anybody except Huskminn. Well, what a weekend! I thought I was on another planet with everybody calling each other by there handles and me not having one I felt out of place…. For like a minute. I don’t think most of those guys are still around this site anymore, but those guys were and you guys still are “good people”! Once I got back after that weekend I signed up and never looked back. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

[Duffman]

I did a Google search on "Long Rods and Honey Holes", and this link was the only one that the work filter would let me open up.

[fishin58]

Niceone about the honeyholes!! I joined because of the free nachos.

Hey, I want my money back! They made me fax in $20.00 for the "snack fund" when I joined. Not fair!

Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

[Kyle Sandberg]

Hey, what nachos. Do they come with chese?

As one famous cartoon charcter should've said, mmmmmmmm, nachos.

[Keith_MN]

Many years ago (back in the late 90s),when I first gained access to the internet at work, I was a regular reader of a "walleye" HSOforum. As the years passed my fishing habits changed (I now spend 90% of my time fishing smallies on the Mississppi) so I started looking for a site that covered more than just "sandsharks and sandshark tournaments". And here I am. I'm not a frequent poster, but you'll see me on the Mississippi River North forum occassionally.
