Watch out for that Most Memorable Fish thread. Over a 100 views in less than 24 hours. That one will go places, too. Such a great topic especially as the season winds downs and we all get into being nostalgic. It should atleast make the 100-Club.

fishnislife, This is a great thread and even though it started to go South there for a bit, it held together. 200+ posts for sure.

You gots competition! Congrats on the amazing, coveted, prestigious honor. :bom: I think that Memorable Fish one is going to give you a run for your money. If not, I'll spam the heck out of it.

I'm not doing this for competition or who can make the greatest post. I was just stating that the whole of WL.com has made some good posts great. I can only do so much, the rest of you make it better. That's all I was trying to say. I can see how stating those facts might have seemed arrogant. I am not doing this for praise but to get everyone more excited about fishing and learning more about the sport. In my book, the more the merrier. My hope is that posts like the this one and the Memorable Fish thread will bring people out of "Lurkerville" and start contributing. Keep'em coming.
The Memorable Fish thread will be a good one. I hope everyone continues to add to it and show pics like the last couple of guys have. I like it when someone tells a good story and has the crazy pic to go along with it. :thumleft:

I still need to find the picture that relates to my story or I think I'll have to put up another story with an accompanied picture!

The picture does cap off the story though and makes it so much cooler to read, no matter how big or what kind of fish it is...

[Gisteppo]

Uh oh....

The Thumb had his babies (twins, little ones), and was home today. In light of his good luck and fortune, we went out for a little celebratory fish. He stepped up...

Wildcard; Squaw



Panfish; 14 oz Perch:



To add insult to injury, I caught a perch later that was 15oz. Its his boat, so I dont harass him too much.....

Trout fishing will commence in 3.... 2.....

I know you're not. I'm kidding around. I think this is, like you said, a great way to bring out our lurkers.

I bow down to the great "Thumb"...you my friend are a brave, brave, man. Hospital bracelet still attached, wife at home? at the hospital still recovering from TWINS no less...and you are out on a boat doin the "O-TAY"??? This is a "Budwieser" commercial in the making.

Congrats on your babies. I hope they, and Mommy, are doing great!!! Nice fish by the way!!! :thumleft:

Hey! Guys! Get out of the house and catch a fish for me! This suspense is draining me....and the fact that I can't catch a fish to save my life lately.

[Toni]

Lake Tapps has Carp.

[iPodrodder]

Hear that Gringo? GET YOUR DANG CARP!!!!!

[Toni]

Carp info was from YUKONMATT lake reports at Lake Tapps Date: 07/22/2007 and he gave info on he caught it.

He didn't even know what it was and he still caught it. Ok, ok...corn is in the tackle bag... if the bass aren't biting again tomorrow I'll catch me up some delicious carp. Do I have to touch the nasty thing, or can I just do a long distance o-tay?

[zen leecher aka Bill W]

you could do a head mount of the fish that put you over the top. use marbles for the eyes

LOL...I'd accept a long distance "O-tay"...but I'm not calling the shots on this one. Fishinislife is one of those "old school" fisherman that kiss all their fish....pucker up little fella!!!!!

NASTY

That's why Carp look so sad, they know they're ugly too...

[Mike Carey]

I'm guessing the carp in the picture was thinking "S***, this doesn't look good."

[bassackwards]

The plaque is almost done guys...I'm just waiting to see who's name goes on it. It's some of my best work (toot, toot)...if I do say so myself.

I hear Gringo has an Electrician coming over tomorrow to wire up the spot-light for his new plaque =d> He said his "Casting Champ" plaque is lonely...
(Disclaimer: Gringo never reeeeally said that stuff, I made it all up to excite the masses)


Who's gonna take it????

I'll have "in-progress" (before & after) shots of the plaque construction up in a few days....I'd love to be able to burn the winners name on it this weekend....

GET OUT THERE AND CATCH #5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
