Northwest Fishing Reports

Thought it would be interesting to hear what the stories of all your avatars. Why did you pick it etc. If it's a fish where you caught it (you don't need to tell if it is a secret), and how you caught it.


I'll start off, two silver salmon caught on the river banks on thanksgiveing weekend, driftng eggs with a pencil weight. We started off the day with my dad imedietly landing one out of my favorite hole in the river, after he landed it he moved while I tied up the magical neon green yarn with an egg cluster first cast in the same hole he just caught a fish out of I got a bite and landed the second one booy that was a great day!

Prior to the birth of my son, my two daughters and my '98 Fender Telecaster were my three loves (of course my WONDERFUL wife too)....

That's the short story of my avatar. Kinda boring compared to your silvers Derrik, priceless none the less.

Its tough to see but it's my towing rig and my boat hitched up on the back...

9 pound silver caught on the Carbon last year in Oct. Only silver I have caught from a river so far.

Mine is me and the biggest trout I ever caught fly fishing.Caught it this year at Island lake in Kitsap county.:colors:

Glad you asked about avitars.... I can cleanse my conscience. My son likes to go out on the Sound and catch dog fish. While most people hate them, 8 y/o boys think they're SHARKS! and very cool. We caught this pretty good size one, and I wanted him to pose for a picture with it. He started freakin' out a little. It looks like I am sort of being really mean and taunting, but I really wasn't. It was all smiles within a few minutes.

Well...... I am still working on that one. One of these days I will figure out this computer thing and I will have an avatar lol. Good topic by the way.

mine is of a couple nice lk washington largemouth caught this spring. one was 4lbs 6oz and the other was like 2lbs 6oz or something like that. to bad i didn't get a double shot with that 4+ and the 6

Mine is a bonefish from Ascention Bay south of Playa Del carmen, Mexico. It was taken by my wife during our honeymoon last November. Spent the whole day on a Panga flats fishing and had a blast! She caught her one fish and then sunbathed and took pictures. Awsome day, awsome trip! WARNING TO ALL! If you are bald, Norwegian and out for an all day fishing trip in a tropical climate, do not wear a hat that has holes!

I'm know what you mean I'm going bald and I'm Irish.So I learn't real quick about hats with holes in them.

This was my first 4lb smallie at Lake Washington, it weighted 4lb 10 oz. I wish we could have multiple avatars. I already see a couple guys switching theres around. Lot of you guys have cool ideas!

I like Kenster's, it's his son and him with photoshopped rubber toy shark lol. As for mine, we never take the camera fishing anymore....

ima big time sports fan, and baseball is my favorite.

:king:

this is a fishing site, hence the pirates logo.

A bass I caught on Alice lake fishing 4th of July last year with my son. A pleasant memory, indeed.

Mines a 5lb 8oz Lm caught at Lacamas Lake in clark county, During the Spawn off bank.

I have a little Subaru man showing a Honda who's boss. Coincidently, I drive a Subaru and my wife, well she drives the Honda. Never thought of it like that. I'm sure that she would have it the other way around. HA!

This is my son and favorite fishing partner with a largemouth out of Spanaway in 2006. Not sure on the size, but it was a decent one. Didn't have a scale with me on the trip.

Mine is one panel from a three panel comic that pretty sums it up for me. Especially during meetings.

I thought about changing it to this one, but decided against it.

I caught the catfish in my avatar while fishing in the deep waters of Google.

Seriously, I love everything about fishing for 'em and I sincerely wish that we had some around Sammamish/Issaquah/Redmond area.

Skeeter- That fish looks about as big as your son. Nice one. Hopefully I'll have a son soon, otherwise I'm gonna have to go to Big Brothers/Big Sisters and share with one of the kids there.
