The story behind your, "Handle"

[Fred_Bear]

Brought back from the dead is right! But there are a lot of new users since '05, including myself, so it'll be like starting the thread over.

Fred_Bear - A tribute to The Nuge because he is the man!

[Reynolds]

Well, my first name is Brett. Numerous times at jobsites people pronounced my name as Bert. Some co-workers then started calling Bert. Then, I grew a mustache, and co-workers and friends started calling me "Burt Reynolds." Eventually they settled on "Reynolds."

[hydro]

Wow this does come from way back!

Hydro for me comes from the fact that I have always liked fast boats. When I was kid, I raced hydroplanes in B stock class. My 9' hydro with a 20 CI Champion Hot Rod engine was clocked at 65 MPH. At 6" off the water it seemed like 100! My personal bests are driving at 83 MPH (avatar boat) and passenger at 114 Allison/Mercury S3000.

Here's my first fast boat. Note the exhaust, loud in the boat, ear splitting behind.

Duckblind doing a bit of research, Awsome! and a good find.

Croixflats = the sand flats on the St.Croix river The water I spend 95% of my time.

[BoxMN]

BoxMN - last name Boxmeyer, and from MN... I think I actually registered "Box" but then forgot the password, so re-registered adding MN... not too original

[Meat-Run]

Like it says I'm always on a "meat run"...you know to go get some meat or food for the table: deer, fish, birds!

[DonBo]

I'm still coughing up the dust from all the years this has been on the shelf, but I'll play...again.

Name's Don. DonBo, as in Rambo, as in an archery stud.

[Learning2Fish]

Learning2fish

Everytime I go out to fish there is always some little factor that comes into play. So each and everytime is like starting all over. Nothing is ever the exact same so i just gotta try and learn how to fish each and everytime. Sometimes i'm a slow learner and it takes me a little longer to catch on. But the main thing is i love it and wouldn't wanna be doing anything else!

Good luck and have fun. This was a interesting thread reading through about the different handles. Some pretty easy to figure out probably why and the next would of never guessed that.

[DuckBlind]

I was looking for the FM Ultimate Fish House thread and found this one, I think it had the 2nd most replies for any thread...just ahead of the FM Ultimate Fish House thread.

Good stuff, some are pretty good...!

[NoWiser]

After catching a 36 inch lake trout through the ice a couple years ago I decided to celebrate by mixing a few cocktails using Canada's finest, Wisers whiskey. The rest of the night is erased from my memory, but the 3 day hangover gave me plenty of time to think of my name.

[Wayne Ek]

FB, good job digging this one out of the archives. I'm beating it will generate a number of interesting entries.

[LivingTheDream]

LivingTheDream - this has always been my motto since we live in a great state for fishing and hunting. People pay a lot of money to come here to hunt and fish and for those that can't afford it I'm just "Living the Dream" for them...

Enough Said!

[Foreverfish1]

My number when I played basketball was 1, and I hope to "Fish Forever"

Great stories on here everyone!

[Jim Uran]

I don't know how I came up with mine? Leechbait isn't too flattering though, can I have a do-over?? LOL!!!

[fish with teeth]

pretty easy, i fish for the ones with teeth.

[SP180]

SP180 (SuperPro 180) after the bass boat i have owned for the past 14 years. Easy for me to remember.

[Ishnala]

Ishnala was my Grandfathers given name. He was a full blooded ojibwa

[Craigums]

My name is Craig one day a co-worker asked me what Craig was short for (i.e. Matt<Matthew) and he guessed Craigums...It just stuck after that

[rusty ironMan]

A few years ago (ok, about 8) I got a crazy idea to start competing in triathlons. I decided to go big and signed up for the Ironman Wisconsin race (swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles.) Completed the race in about 14 hours. And that was the last triathlon that I've done, thus I thought "rusty" was appropriate.

Tro First syllable of last name
