First name and part of my last name.

Could have been a little more imaginative but I just wanted to get some advice on a trip I was taking to LOTW and did not really give it any thought.

[Cicada]

Bought a Reef Runner Cicada to try ice fishing. It caught lots of fish, so I showed it to a cousin that loves to fish. Instead of trying one, he made all kinds of fun of me and called my prized lure a "ugly slab of metal junk"(edited to omit the curse wording). I thought he would read these reports, so I used the name to dig at him. Still don't go ice fishing without one on my line.

Mine can from my favorite lure for catching big pike like the one in my aviator. Jerkbaits work great for big pike.

[GrizzlyAdams]

Grizzly adams has always been my favorite show. Am completely bummed that they don't show it on t.v. anymore. So about three x-mas's ago my girlfriend found the entire set of shows on dvd for me and know we don't leave on fishing trips without it and it has become our "lucky" item to bring. I think the fish like it too.

[sausageman]

A couple years ago I was bouncing back and forth from the computer to the kitchen while I was making up a big batch of Venison Sausage. I had never fished the St Croix river and wanted to ask a couple questions. With chunks of sausage pieces still on my hands I was asked to come up with a "handle". As I was typing I was forced to look at the sausage pieces on my hands. Bingo....I got my handle.

[Archerysniper]

I was shooting bow with the brother in law and some of his friends and I had them trying to shoot 70-80 yards and I was smacking the bullseye,thats when one of his friends said the military should take me as a Archery sniper.

Walked point for a reconnaissance unit, with the 1st Marine Division, in Vietnam, in '68 and '69. Always believed the reason I survived was all the time I spent in the woods, as a kid, growing up in Minnesota. I had an ability to see things others couldn't. Thus Recon.

[walleyeslammer]

When I was starting out ice fishing, I bobber fished a lot and when I set the hook I tended to almost bounce them off the bottom of the hole and if the fish let go my rod would hit the ceiling of the fish house so some of my friends called me slammer. And I fish for walleyes

[mainbutter]

When I was in high school, we went to D.C. on a trip.

There was a bum asking for cash while we were walking to the smithsonian, and I was feeling generous at the time. I handed the guy $2. In front of a bunch of my friends, the guy then shouted out "hey kid, thanks! you're the main butter!". I didn't know what he meant, I still don't. All I know is apparently that it was a compliment. I'd never been called "the main butter" before, but the name stuck.

Nothing wrong with a good strong hookset

[icehousebob]

Mainbutter, I'd bet that the guy was trying to say," You're the man, brother," but maybe had a bit of a speech problem. Like too much wine or not enough teeth.
