Official "Steelhead Challenge" Smack-A-Thon

[The Fishing Geek]

We are just shy of four weeks from the big event where Oregonians, Washingtonians, and Idahoans will fish their favorite rivers in an event that could only be pulled off by the fine folks at iFish.net. For the official rules, go here (http://www.ifish.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=018088), for team line-ups go here (http://www.ifish.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=018124), and for a place to look for rides or teams go here (http://www.ifish.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=018045).

That should cover all the questions, so now we can get down to business. Lay down your best smack and let's see in the end who can back up what they smack up.

A friendly reminder to those who can't stand the heat:

This is a smack talking/name calling thread. If you don't want smack talked about you, don't post on this thread and get out of the kitchen. Or go back to the kitchen and make some cookies or something. Better yet, go get me a Weinhard's (root beer, of course) and shut your trap. Thanks.

With madwiz and C&E on the same team it might be pretty quiet this time :wink:

[No Wishin Just Fishin]

Nice Hair Is that what all you young guys look like under your hats now days :laugh:
Since Team mature won the Sturgeon Challenge it is now only fitting that we show You youngins how to catch steelhead too. One of the guys on the team has a log spanning 38 years and believe it or not has over 7900 steelhead logged. So should be easy to put upp a good number for You young guys to aim for on Sunday as we will only fish Sat as that is all we will need to prevail. We are now interviewing young buck ifishers to see which one gets to go along and learn something. And yes we have our depends with us :wink: But we won't need them just as it says in "An Anglers Astoria" (book Don't forget to Pee before you put your waders onon :dance:

[Mojo]

Clearwater B-Runs . Need I say more.

We ought to get extra points, since all the fish we are going to catch are the super smart ones that got past Fearnofish.

Following our Motto: "We may be drunk, but you're all ugly, and we'll be sober tomorrow!"

[The Fishing Geek]

Oh yes AD11, I'm sure that your Team Metamucil is going to put on a real "clinic" out there. Unfortunately it's going to have to be an Urgent Care clinic, because your life insurance agency won't let that many old folks into that small of an area without a cardio cart nearby.

A 38 year log? Dang, go drink some cod liver oil, or whatever you dustbags take to clear out the plumbing. That can't be healthy, although that would explain the retentiveness.

You all would be better off staying home and pondering whether you have already taken your pills, because the metalheads are going home with the clearer heads that weekend. :grin:

Oh, and I will put this out there right now. None of this or any of the following smack-slinging is intended to be taken seriously and is only part of the entertainment until the Big Show.

[Mojo]

Stop it Geek! You are killing me...Cod Liver Oil...Hoo-boy too much. 7900 steelhead would stop you up a bit hmmmmm.

[ragjr]

Trying to get on a team I have serval request out there but really hoping to get the confermation for Bruce(ad11 fish advietures) let me know.

Don't want to miss this one.

[WaterDog]

TFG, you actually know what a rod and reel is and how to use one? I see you cried a river and now it's a two day event just so you can go on sunday. :hoboy: Momma's got you on a short leash. :tongue:

There are no modems, keyboards or fiber optic cable out in the reel world. Grab your fruity flavored tums and fill your thermos with pepto. Your going to be playing with the big dogs. :wink:

please, sense you have first post here, type a disclaimer in BOLD at the top of you post, explaining that this is a
smack talking - name calling thread. And if you don't want smack talked about you, don't post on this thread.thanks... :grin:

o.k.
I see you guys just couldn't wait to get this thread going.

And you guys call this smack??? :hoboy: :sick:
you guys got a lot to learn about smack.One of these days (soon) i will come back and show you how the big boys smack talk. :shocked: :grin:

You carry a light pole ??????? :tongue:

How does it fit in the boat?? Or even worse, how's it to tote around on the bank??

And does PGE or PPL know it's missing?

Folks, I can see by how this thread is going, and the past smack-talk associated with the sturgeon event, that this is going to get real personal, ugly, and down-in-the dirt. :wink:

So, I think it is up to me to lend a bit of civility to this thread without casting slams on any particular individual and/or boat, lets just say...

Team Moose Drool wins! :cheers:

Everyone else loses! :tongue:

Perhaps the rest of you would want to stay at home and watch the division playoffs scheduled on the tube for the 11th and 12th.

Go Packers! graemlins/applause.gif
Go Team Moose Drool! :cheers: :dance: :cheers:

[Chris Nordling]

Oh noooo, not another CheeseHead !!!!!!

Although I cannot speak too highly of the Vikings this year, I can never speak high of the "pack" :grin: :wink:

The Minnesota/N.Dakota kid in me won't let it happen graemlins/berry.gif

Team "Moose" can "Drool" all over OUR days catch on the 11th :grin:

Although you guys do clearly have a size advantage here. No Clack winter is gonna get close to those B-- runs.

Hmmm....guess we'll just have to do it in numbers to beat ya :dance:

[ampersat]

oh yeah??? well, we're going to catch less than anyone else!! i'm just setting bar low so that any success will be icing.

shouldn't you folks be tearing down reels or reorganizing your tackle?

[The Fishing Geek]

Oh good, so nice to see WaterLogged step up to the plate with his Wiffle bat and expecting to come into contact with the Geek Heat.

It was awfully nice of the folks in charge of this event to go ahead and extend it to a two-day event. Not only did it allow those of us with busy schedules to attend, but it also allows crackers like you to have two days to try and catch the size and numbers of steelies that I'll get beached in one.

You say my wife has me on a short leash? Not hardly. I'll explain it to ya: Geek sends his wife to get a law degree like her dad, and then when she gets the degree I retire before I'm 40 and fish for a few decades while you find yourself at 70 years old and greeting people at the local Wal-Mart. It's called planning, Mr. DogWater. graemlins/idea.gif :wink:

Thanks for your concern about my well-being on that day, but I'll be doing fine. My hopes for you are that those tears that will be rolling down your face from seeing how badly you were beaten by me don't freeze to your face. That'd be pretty sad looking.

[SandySteel]

Idaho? Who let those backwoods freaks into the game?
Let me give you Mountain hole Iduho freaks some pointers

• steelhead are silver in color not the brown color you might be used to thinking are steelhead

• steelhead do NOT have mouths pointed downward with lips that look like your mother's

• a good substitute for eggs is melon balled potatos rubbed with bananas and sagebrush.

• Magic reservoir has a great run of 6 inch steelhead. Just ignore those idiots who say "hey nice mess of perch you have there" I would advise you fish there. At least you will have a shot at catching something.

• While I realize you are desperate to take home a fish. You can't claim the dead chinook carcasses that you find laying on the riverside as steelhead. Oh wait, I guess those already got picked up and taken home by your brother/cousin to eat while it was a fungus covered brown boot.

[WildHawg]

Seal and Jarhead Recon :sleep: Big deal...RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!!!
Those silver sided sea going slimers wouldn't stand a chance if I was in the tourney--wait, that gives me an idea graemlins/idea.gif ! News at 11:00.

[Mojo]

Steel, Nice shot, but Magic has NO fish because it dried up last fall.

I do know the difference betweem Largescale Suckers, and Steelies. There are a few large steelies in the Clearwater. The biggest I ever got (yet) is 17 pounds 6 ounces. Seen a few 20's and that's what we're shooting for on the 11th.

As for backwoods, we have no woods. Just sagebrush...(keep thinking that).

Oh and the chinook carcasses...we we have none of those either. Seem some losers built a bunch of concrete speedbumps between Idaho and the Pacific. Apparently providing light for the Portland crack-labs and Seattles football stadium (what is it called this year), is more important than the massive runs of native salmonids that once graced our fair state.

I know there are a ton of Steelies on your coastal rivers, and the Sandy has a few as well, but it takes 3 of those to measure up to a true B-Run.

"We may be drunk, but you're all ugly, and we'll be sober tomorrow!"

[crabbait]

Can tou believe it? Somebody sent me an e-mail that you boys weren't being nice to each other over here.

I see they were mistaken: same old smack, different day and species.

Anyone who takes any of this seriously needs to have their head examined.

Now, off to the Lucky Lab for my buddies lab's birthday party! We'll be OUTSIDE with the dogs. Drop by I'll buy you a beer.

You guys talk like you know what a steelhead is. Well, to refresh your memory so you don't release a steelhead thinking its a bass, heres a picture of a steelhead.

[SandySteel]

Hey!!! don't you know that's the early fall/late summer run of the long thought to be extinct run of sagebrush steelhead? These fish have been known to spawn in the open sagebrush and on people's front lawn. Now that you have posted it here they are sure to get overfished because people will know where to fish for them. Thanks to you they are now even more endangered!

[SandySteel]

Mojo
At least my state isn't talking about de-watering the Columbia by holding the water back when your wonderful B-runs and upriver brights are migrating downstream as smolts.

Kiss your wonderful Clearwater runs goodbye.

Does smacking on a guy's state's politics cross the line for this forum?

Team "Thank God I left Idaho"

[No Wishin Just Fishin]

Geek good smack bro

Never tried cod liver oil, does it work well for scent??/

2 ex Navy SEALS and a Marine recon on this team so still in pretty good shape for being mature.

I have an idea when you and the rest of the LADIES on the team come up last why don't we give all of you a Baton and you can march in the Rose Parade as twirlers :dance:

[Mojo]

Ummm... I believe it is Orygun and Washingtun that are going to de-water MY rivers to provide power for their cities. No problem...I'll just spend my hard earned money for an Oregon Tag....WAIT! Another attempt to get money from me after I have no fish...

[Born to Fish]

Chris (FWF1) - nice picture on your web page. Did you buy those 2 fish pillows at WalMart? :grin: They almost had me fooled - almost look real. NOT!!! :tongue:

So, you're a Vikings fan..... :hoboy: , too bad - poor choice.....almost as bad as going up against Team Moose Drool. :laugh: :dance: :laugh:

Go Packers. graemlins/applause.gif

Go Team Moose Drool. :cheers:

You like those "Pillows" huh ??

That's what chrome, less than 5 miles from salt,springers look like. Pillows. White as snow. That day I spent more hours driving ( 3 hours round trip) than fishing ( 1 hour or so), and limited out after missing 3 other bobber chances. :dance:

I zoomed in on your avatar. Nice Walleye :laugh: :laugh: :wink:

Here's what chrome steelies look like :

And I'll add my best wishes also, to those who will participate in this event. It'll be two great days on the water. A great opportunity to strike up new relationships with other "Ifisher's", and I believe that'll help to make this web site all the better.

Oh, and it'll also provide Team Moose Drool the opportunity to show off some "sagebrush" metalheads. :wink:

[Bait O' Eggs]

This is some lame smack talkin, Catch and Chow is over the hill and waiting for the geritol to kick in, Wiz learned his lesson a few weeks ago at the sturgeon derby, Giz and team is still asleep drooling on himself, Geeky is to busy writing puter code, Idaho crew is wishing they more than one river to feed fish to them, .... who are the rest of you snivelers?? :wink:

The only real challenge so far is Wildhawg and he hasnt finished his gender check to see if he is in or out of the competition :wink:

Looks like I will have to handicap myself and take a greenhorn along so the rest of you wannabees have a chance. Could I have found a bigger handicap to level the field??? :whazzup: :wink:

This is interesting to have a challenge where you can choose your own fishing river, the floatillas of the past put us all together to see who could adapt to the conditions on the river chose, now we get to go where we think the fish will bite. :dance:

[SteelieSteve]

The question is BOE do you remember what catching a fish feels like? Seems your already well challenged. What's the team name? Team Whats a fish? :grin: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Mojo]

O.K. SandySteel makes a good point! Time to take the interstate politics out of the smack. It isn't our fault that our politicians suck (we tried to vote them all out).

BOE: We have more than one river to chose from. We can go NOT catch fish in the Snake, below Hells Canyon Dam, the Salmon or the Little Salmon. We chose to go CATCH fish in the Clearwater because the scenery is nice, the fish are huge, and it's close to Missoula (home of Big Sky Brewing-maker of Moose Drool).

My only worry is if Fearnofish let enough fish pass by McNary to support the fishery on the Clearwater.

[Stz ll]

How could BOE remember what it feels like to catch a fish. You have to catch one before you can remember anything about it. :grin:


The rest of you might as well stay home. With all of the bananas we will have on our boat the rest of you don't have a chance. :cheers:

[Denali]

Mojo,

Just to confirm that FNF has let a few trickle thru to the Clearwater. We stuck a fair number this weekend. We were cut-plugging some chromers I caught on the west side earlier this year and the B-runs swallowed em right down. Takes just the right cut to get the spin right.

[Mojo]

SHHHHH! Don't tell them. They may sneak across the border and ace us out of the "Secret Spot". Oh, wait...they don't know where the secret spot is. :grin:

Plug cut Sandy summers make a great B-Run bait.

BOE can't help sleeping while fishing, it's the sleepless nights worrying about getting Batoned that make him so drowzy :sleep: :sleep: .

[snowball]

if anyone has an open seat, i would welcome the chance to show yall what this native minnesotan can pull out..( that maybe didn't sound so good huh)

at any rate, if no-one replies or offers me a seat, then I guess it safe to say yall wont really be the champ if you don't step into the ring. :dance:

[Chris Nordling]

:sleep: :sleep: :sleep:

BOE- Aren't you the guy with over 10,000 hours of effort ,and not one Springer hooked or bonked over the last TWO YEARS ????
:shocked: :shocked:

Rest assured other Challenge teams. IF BOE is captain, the Baton is almost assured for them !

And the area Trout Farms are on the lookout for him and his driftboat that day. They're not really nervous about him catching fish either that day. Seems his reputation proceeds him....

And I think you Idahooligans are Drinking the MOOSE DROOL you keep bragging about.

Cut plugging "West"side fish :laugh:

That was pretty good........... :grin:

Chris :cool:

[Mojo]

Of course we're drinking the Moose Drool! Didn't you check out our motto? Not drinking...you have got to be kidding...sheesh!

[Bait O' Eggs]

When I was in Idaho I had the pleasure of drinking a pitcher of Moose Drool and I have to admit it could be my favorite beer. To bad drinking moose drool doesnt correspond to catching fish. :sick: You idaho boys can cry me a pitcher when you lose.

What is that green moldy looking stuff growing in the boat I will be fishing from? :wink: God I have a lot of fish to catch to win this tourney for my team. I hope my partner catches more than a cold.

[fishchaser]

It's OK BOE, I have Walt and STZII with me. I know I will be sleeping. THEY ALWAYS CATCH , I MEAN CRACKER more fish than I do. :grin:

AND THEY ARE ON MY TEAM!!! :shocked:

[byteme]

With all the smack coming from downstream you'd think they caught all the fish before they got here, but we had 250'000++ fish return last year. I think the smackers downstream are asleep at the reel, except for FNF(When does he sleep?). :whazzup:

[CATCH AND EAT]

Hey Tracey, I just hope you can get Walt out of bed. Better bring the porta potty for him too. Depends are not a bad idea and a drool bib is a must. Make sure he takes his pills. He gets cranky if he does'nt. :wink: :wink: :wink:

[The Fishing Geek]

Don't say that too loudly, Stz II. I get up early to fish, not because I want to be there that early, but so that I can sneak out without Lily. She had my wife send me an email yesterday with a guy holding a springer with two little girls in the background doing the thumbs-up. I referred my wife to the "Boat Payment" thread. :grin:

OK Husker, so where's the smack already?? We're waiting! Last week you were saying something about walking quietly and carrying a big rod or something like that! OK, I won't pick on you yet, seeing as you outfished the rest of our team on the last challenge (not bad for a sturgeon virgin).

I'm not going to do too much of the flappin' for our team this time, we got a ringer named donny, hopefully won't need too much smack talk. Besides, the smack talk kinda jinxed us didn't it! So all I'll say is we hope to do better this next time!

Catch & Eat if you pay attention while riding in the boat you too may learn to catch fish instead of having to get yours at Safeway. Between the Wiz and I we will try to teach you to net. :grin:

What happened to SandySteel and Ampersat? Did we run them off by insulting them, or did they just get tired? I miss Sandysteel's blunt jabs...I really didn't mean anything personal. Come back and insult my lack of skills....come on, please! Ampersat was just too honest. Hmm.......

OK People,
What is going on here???????? Someone sets a challenge to fish for mud-sucking, feces eating ugly dinosaur fish that don't even fight that well for their size and the smack talkers come out of the woodwork. What did we have, over 400 posts?

The wiz sets up a challenge to fish for one of the most beautiful, majestic and challenging fish in the Pacific Northwest and I find this thread on page three after only 70 something posts. What a bunch of smack talking pansies.
You wusses aren't even worthy to fish in the Grand Wizard's little challenge. As a famous French Soldier once said.

What the heck was I supposed to do? I layed down some pretty good smack foundation and what came back made me feel like I had just played a game of eel baseball.

I realized that nobody could match me, so I let it deteriorate into what husker presented, which was some ugly concoction of equal parts Shakespeare and Prince. Sorry folks, but I can't smack something that wears purple tights.

Tell ya what. I'm going to be on vacation in the next week down in SoCal, and that means I won't be checking in to see whats going on here as often as normal. You all take off your dishwashing gloves and slap each other like gentlemen apparently do and when I have time to check in I'll see if anything interesting comes out of it. :hoboy:

'Bout time someone resurrected this string. I was getting disappointed.

(You know it's tough to type while looking through beer goggles)

Just did a little logistics work with Born to Fish this evening, and it is looking good for Team Moose Drool. All I have to say is watch out! The Clearwater has finally come up (18") and a ton of fish are making their way out of the 4 lower Snake Reservoirs. By the time Team Moose Drool hits the river...it's gonna be a steelie fest!

Denali is out gathering fresh intel. I'd tell you what he has discovered, but then I'd have to kill ya'.

Well, sharpen them hooks and chill the Moose Drool! Fella's we got us a contest! :cheers: :grin:

Mojo,
you do know the difference between Paddlefish and Steelies? Even if they are boots, it is possible to tell the difference, for most folks that is.
Stay at home and tie flies folks,
the dog is in his house.

Mark and the smack talkin dog.

[Mojo]

Hey Mark!

Yeah I knw what a paddlefish looks like. Those are the prehistoric sturgeon wannabe things that all the Oregon Coastal Salmon Snaggers train on in the off season.

Our Steelies may not be three days out of the salt, but they are still pretty nice this time of year.
Right now the Clearwater is kicking out some dandies. (oh, wait there are no steelies in Idaho) Yeah...we're going Perch Jerking on the 11th and 12th :wink:

[Flatfish]

Mojo,
you knw? What is knw? Is it some sort of arctic shrew? Is a knw a boat that tips over real easy? Knw.....
Whats up with that?
Are you a threat to the fish? Not if it's a spelling bee.
Knw? Klingon Nerd Worship?
The dog is still asleep, waiting for a real challenge.

Ha,
Flatfish, sorry it took me a while to get back to you on your feeble attempt at smack talkin, but unlike you I have a life beyond sitting in front of my computer 24/7. I guess after the challenge we will see who the King of "Our Home River" is.

Flatfish, My tail is not between my legs in fact, you should feel it smacking you upside the head as you deliver your kisses. :shocked:

Tanner, I would like to say that I am very sorry for ribbing you. I had no idea you had a hampster. Let alone an attack hampster.
I am also very concerned that you have a tail. Have you seen a doctor about your tail?
Do you have a picture that you can post so we can all see your tail? If you so that would be swell.
"But unlike you I have a life beyond sitting in front of my computer 24/7."..... Is that why you have posted 300 times more than me?

see you guys on the 11th :dance:

[SandySteel]

I have often pondered why the Northwest Steelheaders logo has Idaho, Oregon and Washington on it but the only chapters are in Oregon. I think I just figured out why.
The only state that can catch them is Oregon. Idaho farts are out in the middle of American Falls resevoir thinking that the chub they are catching are some lost strain of brown steelhead. Here's a hint guys. Steelhead can't pass Twin Falls on the Snake. Of course you haven't seen an anadromous fish that high since you sucked up all the water to make alfalfa and potatos. The Washington wussies are sipping lattes with their pinkies pointing southward and thinking that the farm raised Atlantic salmon at Costco can somehow be used to try to win this challenge. Sorry WA WA no you may not use fillets as proof of a caught fish.

Husker, Oh, you said something a page or so ago? I almost missed it! And you didn't even tell me last night at the steelie clinic that you were laying down smack for me? Hmm, guess you were too busy trying to learn all you could about how to actually catch one of them there metalheads! :grin:

QUOTE]Originally posted by husker:
me speak softly and carry light pole....[/QUOTE]

I hear your motto is "spare the rod, spoil the fish" That why you're packing a "light pole" for the challenge? You gonna smack the water with that and splash them up onto the bank? I didn't see that in the rules! At least bring a "rod" for Husker Jr, so he and Ampersat will at least catch something!

Amp, you still raking leaves?? Haven't heard any smack from you yet! Guess you're playing it safe with those hooligans on your team! :laugh: :laugh: Hey, you didn't get those two front seats in the DB padded yet did you? Husker's hoping you did, it will minimize the amount of squirming he does when you give him dirty looks for putting SKUNK on your boat! We were puzzled why we had such a bad day in the Sturgeon Challenge (along with so many others) Tom had the boat tested it was determined to be carrying "huskeritis"! Amp, get your boat vaccinated quick! :grin: :grin:

OK Husker.....'nuff for now! :grin: I won't smack too much about how OUR team will do, learned that lesson last time! We'll just play our cards and see who comes up with a winning hand on game day!

Yep Tanner thats right, I start later than you, and get more done in less time. Just like fishing, I figure if I get out of bed by noon or so I can whoop ya. Imagine the hurt you are gonna be feeling if I get up early.

Nice one Tilla. If the Clearwater drops anymore, I'll have to put on my red, white, and blue jump-suit with the stars on the sleeves, just to get from one hole to the next. I wonder how far my sled would fly if I built a 125' ramp.... (I promise I won't pop the chute early! It might take a few Moose Drools to get me to go for it though.

[Denali]

Mojo,

That ones a little small to cut plug for the B-runs. You could probably make a few bait wraps out of it though.

[Tanner]

Flatfish,
Thanks for the report, unfortunately I got to spend all day Saturday cleaning the garage. Oh well at least I can find all my steelhead gear now. graemlins/applause.gif I also found a few things that I will send along with you for snacks during the challenge. :sick:

It's not really like I need to get out and practice whipping your behind in the challenge anyway. :grin: My team (along with the protection of the Hampster of Death), should have no problem finding a few fish.

A) You ever been in a bar in Orofino? Check the tap handles.
B) Do you know how far it is from Konkolville to Missoula? If you know the answer to that question, you might know how to catch a B-Run.
C) When was the last time the Clearwater froze solid enough to Ice fish?

The real question is what do all these questions have in common?

:cheers:

Letting the photos do the talking again :smile:

Here's a Wilson pic from December 19th. The east wind was horrible, gusting to 40 miles an hour. We managed to go 7 for 10. We released 2 summers and 1 native, and kept these 4 chrome winters.

This was my first trip out in a month after surgery. Thanks to fellow guide and good friend Ian Premo ( aka Green Pirate on ifish), this day was sweet. He rowed and we caught fish. Lots of them. What a great way to get back into the GROOVE :dance:

Just ZaQ, only 6 steelhead in the past week, shoot, i got 6 the other day :dance:

Seven days to go, and not a bit of smack to be heard. I'm quite dissapointed.

Instead of fishing this weekend I committed an act of Karma enhancement. Got a buddy who's vacationing in a tropical (desert) destination (Air Force Base). His wife's horses and llamas have eaten their winter alotment of hay. I went an hauled a bunch (4 tons) over to their place and stacked it in a pole barn that's not quite made for that. Hope it pays off for me.

yep!! A lack of smack from these rookies. All I hear is just a bunch of potato peal'in going on. graemlins/dork.gif graemlins/dork.gif :hoboy: :rolleyes: :tongue:

[The Fishing Geek]

I started the thread off in hopes that the true smack-talkers of iFish would step up and knock a few out of the ballpark. Heck, I even put a couple good ones down to set the tone for the rest. Instead what I have been witness to here sounds like the QA department in a squeeky toy factory. Embarrassing.

With no rain between last Sunday and this weekend, the rivers are going to be in pretty nice shape everywhere. Will there be fish to be caught? Most likely. Maybe not "summer run on the Cowlitz" numbers, but they'll be there.

I'll be catching steel. My team will be catching steel. The rest of you all...it's looking pretty grim, but not entirely hopeless. A few of you may bumble across a fish that, in the act of laughing at your presentation, accidentally snorts it in. And considering you'll be using a 15-50 boat rod, deep sea reel, and gator rope for a main line, you'll have at least a fighting chance of bringing that fish up to the boat on full plane as it skips across the water surface. Way to finesse that one in, Cletis.

So tell me, crackers. Is it going to hurt your feelings when someone who gets out fishing maybe a dozen times a year goes out there and puts on a clinic in master steelie spankery? Are you going to kick a can and mope because you're out there no less than three days a week, every week, and you couldn't touch a fish unless it was beached and rotting next to you? I hope not, because I wouldn't want the fishing tackle industry to take a huge financial hit when you quit buying your weekly supply of river bottom and tree branch decorations. People shouldn't lose jobs just because I applied a healthy layer of face on you at a silly steelie tourney.

Lastly, speaking of trees...Chrsitmas is over. Quit hanging your oversized Corkies in the tree branches. Those beach ball-looking things AREN'T festive. :hoboy: :grin: :tongue: :wink:

[halfounce]

Look out for "Team DragNet"... Even if we are new behind the wheel. Just found out today from my Brother from another Mother. A spot Where he's been consistently catching 12 to 15lber's. Once again we may not be pro's but you all know how beginners luck goe's...........

Geek,
Your piddly effort at smack talk amuses me. My six-year-old niece is more intimidating, and has probably caught more fish than you. If you were able to put a whoopin' on the steelies, I'd bet my life that you'd go fishing more than a dozen times a year. I usually refrain from threads like this, as egos tend to get bruised, but I'll make an exception today. Also, be sure to remove the Safeway packaging and touch up the freezer burn before you submit any pictures this weekend. :grin: LOL

If we started on you young kids, you'd be calling for your mamas to cuddle ya... :grin: then you'd probably be calling the child protective service asking them to protect ya.... :grin:

I think I might have to fish a river this weekend I have never fished just to even the odds up for the people who think they know what they are doing. Good thing there arent any silvers in the river right now, or I can just see people posting pictures of silvers come Monday saying they just won a steelhead challenge. :rolleyes: I am sure somebody will post a cutthroat and think they got a steelie :hoboy: :hoboy: I think geek is right, not a lot of quality smack on this thread. :depressed: Looks like a bunch of old women sitting around making a quilt gabbing about their men. cluck cluck cluck

Mr. smack talker Bernie, needs to put his teeth in (past 40 now you know) and at least put on a game face. I would have thought team geritol would have been Bernie, Giz and Fishbait. I would have thought they could have been sponsored metmucill. :tongue:

Times are tough TFG. Some of these poor fellas are spent from the relentless lampooning of the Sturgeon Challenge(d).

Giz is right about Birdboy. He hung in there and did'nt miss a beat. When Springer smack starts he will be right in there like Sugar Ray Lennord. Only problem will be He will be up against the tyrant Mike Tyson's of this board. Probably be missing an ear from all the bantor heading his way.

Goodnight everybody, its been great.

Okay this slipped to page 3 after BOE stunk it up with his old fart comments. Roy stay home and make lemon snow cones ya lacky. That, I am sure you are qualified for. You might want to use the small dixie cups instead of the cones though. That way you wont have to stand on a phone book. :tongue:

Speaking of 40, Come springer season we will see if the old fart whoops ya in the final tally. You better count on fishing every day BOE cause that is what its gonna take to double your score from last year. That would be 2 springers right? graemlins/dork.gif Just an idea for ya. Quit using Banana oil in that kicker of yours and you might actually get a springer. :cheers:

As for Zig, I mean Giz, did you ever get that new rod holder mounted on the walker? You are the only guy I know that has a medicine cabinet on his boat and a crash cart in the fish box. BTW can you spare some Geritol? :laugh:

[The Fishing Geek]

AtWorkALot:

Yeah, if I caught fish as seldom as you I'd be at work a lot, too. And it's nice to hear that your niece catches a lot of fish, but don' t you think that it is about time for you to stop playing with the little kids and instead go fishing with people your own age? Or do they laugh when you insist that you need to take your blankie along with you when you fish?

Giz:

Please, stay on the sidelines. If you got into the fast lane of the smack talk you'd probably leave your blinker on the whole time anyway.

Okay, anyone else wanna step up to bat or do I have to go back through and pick over whatever is left of this carcass?

[k9jeff]

I am fishing,, but I would also like to take photos of the boat ramps on the clack,,, the launching follies would be a riot with all the folks out there this weekend....
:grin:

[Mojo]

All right, could one of you fish hookin' individuals please post a picture of one of those Steel Headed Fish thingies? Us Idahooligans have never really seen one, and since the Challenge is just around the corner, you know, we want to be sure what to keep (or photograph).

Rumor has it that the fishing really stinks on the Clearwater. No not just because it's downwind from Mark and Mad Wiz, or the Potlatch plant in Lewiston. Seems the water cooled down and turned a funny shade of green. Jim called it Steelie Green or something... Hmmm.

Well, the cooler is loaded, (plenty of Moose Drool) Got gas (in the tank), and plenty of bait. Even got a new license and steelie tag. Got me new tags on the sled! Went out to Sportsmans Warehouse and bought some great big metal wiggly thingies, and a couple of plastic do-hickies that flop from side to side. I even got some of those floaty-spinnie-flashy widgets that go on your string, you know the ones. I hope the ol' Danielsons are sharp enough right out of the package to hang one of these slime launchers (I think that's what you guys call them).

Well...wish us luck...Born to Fish, Denali, the gang and I are all heading for the River!!! :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

[Hogmaster]

K9 -

Sorry for the serious interlude for a moment, but there is no problem launching at Clackamette right now!

Strange as it seems, what happens is that when the Willamette backs up like it is now, it holds water at the mouth of the Clack back and creates a big lake effect. Right now there is literally no current at all.

Drove in there yesterday and saw that. There were 2 brand new Boice Jets there though (no doubt test runs as a result of the show). Sweet looking machines! They may be more suited to heavy water than fishing as some people claim, but they get to where they are goin in style!

One other note. 2 boats yesterday and one this morning anchored at the mouth, but wasting time it appeared. Quite a few fishermen at the blacktop.

Now, as far as the important stuff:

Between the gaseous extrusions out of both ends of the Moose Drool and Silent But Deadly teams, it is a wonder that the fish aren't already declared endangered. And we thought the Klamath kill was bad!

Just for sport, Team Stealth dogs has been doing some math. Steelhead are tough to get this year (unless your name is William), so we just figured the best method for all of you to use is as follows:

Take Buzz quality guys and factor division by pie of the average ratio of hookups to landings to determine what some better than average huksters on the 'Tucker would likely do! If they are only marginal divide the result by two and if they are beginners or general doughboys factor by zero which applies in all cases anyway... :smile:

For you math impaired this basically means that we will keep 6, most of you might hook two and the rest will go fishless yet again. Might just as well not bother going, unless you want to watch Bernie limb trees!

[Mojo]

So Hog,
Since the limit in Idaho is 3 fish, if we limit, does that make us the winners automatically? Just curious (and the odds of us limiting are SLIM).

[Sturgeon Tom]

Hog sorry but team ON A ROLL has two cameras full of film to take all the pitcures of all of the beautiful chrome bright steehead we are going to catch. :dance: :laugh: :dance:

[Flatfish]

Excellent instruction Hogster, but there are a couplethings you missed on. First it is not "Pie", as you claim it to be. It is "Pi".
Pie is what you eat when you are hunting elk.
Pi is 3.14.. and a whole bunch of little numbers.

Other lessons for the day from "Garys Dictionary"

Maxima- High quality fishing line.

Stren- What you use to hang your mothers hummingbird feeders. Also for lead droppers in Tilly.What real sportsman use.Gives the fish a real chance to break free.

Moose Drool- What they watch in Idaho for fun,when the spuds are not growing.

Zipperlip- Any river, lake, stream, crick, or ocean I fish in.

Sandy river- Answer for any question starting with " Where are they catching fish?". It does not matter if you are in Europe, or they are talking about sharks. "Sandy River" is the correct answer.

Madwiz-Martha Stewart in drag.

Wiliam-One who fishes with TNT.

"I caught it on a pink worm"-Outright lie. Fish do not eat pink worms.

Catch and eat- One who remembers when the Deschutes ran westward and dumped into the ocean.Before there were any cascade mountains.

Fishing geek- Only real smack talker left.

Zipperlip-Frenchmans bar.

Sport jet- Boaters fantasy engine.

Mark and the dog- Targets for smack.

[KingFisher85]

Well, my spot is not looking so good fishing that is so :depressed: , I'm staying out of all this. I don't want to be eating crow feathers like hogmaster and the rest of you guys :grin:

[Flatfish]

King- Crow tastes fine. just use any old duck recepie that includes a shingle, and viola! Yum Yum. hey kid, if memory serves( I am almost as old as Catch and glue my teeth in ) you were pretty confident a while back. stand up and take your shingle like a man.

Mark and the dog, who is hiding under the couch.

[KingFisher85]

Flatfish
Well I cook crow the same way I cook duck. Get a nice cedar plank, put the bird on it, along with all the good spices. Cook till well done, not burned but just starting to. Toss the bird away and eat the cedar board :grin: :wink:

Well maybe my little spot is doing better then I thought :wink:

[Hogmaster]

Flatfish -

I thought we agreed to leave the "pie" in for C&E's benefit.

Another formula to use is as follows:

Take length of tales given of all fishers in the boat in inches times the girth of the heaviest ifisher on the team. Then divide the result by the combined ifish member numbers of the team added together. Smear a healthy amount of pie on the answer if you are from Washington, beer if from Idaho, or just pass gas if you are fishing the Sandy. The number, if less than 1, is the number of points your team will end up with. The number, if greater than one means you goofed in math yet again (unless you are a memeber of the Stealth dogs). Go back to class. :dance:

[Dan Christopher]

If you want to keep it fair you would catch and release all you want but stop when you tag 2 fish. After all we are letting you rednecks in this thing you know :wink:

Actually, I'll probably C&R anything I should have the good fortune to hook. I might keep one if it looks pretty fresh, just for the smoker. I have to agree, Mark can dish it out. He doesn't wimper too loud either. :cheers:

No need to be afraid of the dog. He just sheds a lot thats all. But Tanners Lizard, now that is something to never take your eyes off. It's a killer. You can see it in it's eyes. Killer lizard.

I would like to thank the acadamy, my direcreter, the producers of the smack, my wife who keeps me focused on the smack, Tanners Lizard, for inspiring me. And most of all, I would like to thank my fans. Without you none of this would have been possible.... You like me...You really like me...And thank you Big Sky Brewing, for keeping most of Idaho in a semi comatose state.

the dog would like to thank anyone who ever fed him tablefood. And he would appereciate it, if you fed him some more. Especially if it is covered in gravy. He really likes gravy.

I was talking to flatfish today and he said something about you, his dog and getting his Willie wet. :shocked: I am not sure what he was talking about but I told him I think you too need to get off the river and get a room. I feal sorry for any hens you guys might get to bite. I hope there not hard mouthed. graemlins/hearton.gif

Your guys are from I' da' hoo so I will keep this real simple for you so you can keep up. :rolleyes:

You hicks go target dem red neck fish if you want but make sure you have you tennis shoes on because the government is all over Idaho and are on the lookout for a group of rednecks in orange prison jump suits, staking out the safeway seafood departments. graemlins/eek13.gif

Flatfish

We all know the last time you caught a fish was at last years sportsman show.

Now if you were taking your wife fishing I might say you stand a chance but, oh wait, you are taking your wife, hog master. He was telling me how his Willie is so much bigger than yours and how small your Willie really is. :shocked: He even said your Willie was covered in green grass because it hasn't been used in so long. I told him this is a fishing tournament not a I have a bigger Willie then you tournament but he was to busy laughing at you little green fuzzy Willie. :tongue: Has your dog ever been on your little green fuzzy Willie? Come on, tell the truth. :shocked: :grin:

I would not worry about Tanner's Lizard. It is Team Hamster of Death. The Hamster says "bring it on" http://www3.famille.ne.jp/~hime/Picture/GIF3/A023.gif
I am glad to see some of the smack picking up. The Hamster was bored http://www3.famille.ne.jp/~hime/Picture/GIF/S024.gif

He thought he was goping to have to come to the party like this http://www3.famille.ne.jp/~hime/Picture/GIF3/A022.gif for all the sweet talking that was going on.

But to help those who are injured, we can offer help for you http://www3.famille.ne.jp/~hime/Picture/GIF3/L024.gif

Tanner is sure being quite, Me thinks he is out of breathe from blowing up his big blue inflateable :shocked: :shocked: Are you taking big blue down the river with you? I dont even want to know where the Hamster comes into the name, and a dead hamster no less. I have heard some sick stories about hamsters, and warned Zaq last night to not partake in any of your hamster games. :sick:

Pigmaster - I dont think 3 little pogies will win the derby, no matter how much huffing and puffing the big bad sheding dog does.

Geeks gonna be using a circuit board out of an old computer for bait, and not understanding why the old ink that dripped in his pocket protector isnt working for a lure scent. :tongue:

Catchless and Eat should wake up around Noon on saturday and decide it is time to go fishing, which will be a couple hours before Giz surfaces.

Wiz - Stay out of the river, Last I checked it was illegal to wiz in the water. :wink:

Snapshot - Has your wife signed your hall pass yet? I hate to see you get left at home wearing the apron. Maybe if you cleaned the toilets and baked a batch of cookies the night before you wont have that on your list of to do's on Saturday :shocked:

I have been having nightmares that the fungus boat will be kicking off a stank that will turn the fishing off around us. Maybe if we pressure wash the fungus off the bottom of the boat before we hit the river our odds will go up. I hope that greem slimy stuff comes off.

[Flatfish]

Hampster....... Rat whatever.

Wiz, now that everyone knows who you are, would you like to share a few tips with us. Maybe you can start with a few stock market tips and follow up with "Good boat colors for the spring season."

My Wilie is small, green and fuzzy. The Dr. says the green has a calming effect. Small makes it easy for the dog to get snacks. Fuzzy is good for traction. You are just mad that your Willie is not fuzzy.

Geek, you have really let your fans down. Now stand up and smack you lilly. Or your Willie!??


I gotta run. Just heard that they are putting Brooders in the pond at the sportsman show.

Hogmaster, Limbing trees? Hey I can do it with the best of them. It just proves that you dont have to have your line in the water to catch something.

BOE, I'm usually am up by 10 am. Its the two hours in the restroom that makes me late. It's a 40's thing. :wink: Your time is coming sonny. :shocked:

Wiz,
How long has it been since you visited Idaho?
A) There are no Safeways here. It's Joe Albertsons Supermarket, but the fish department is mine!

B) The Govenment is afraid of us here. You watched the News lately?

C) Idaho is so broke it can't afford Orange Prison Jumpsuits, we'll be wearing hand-me-down BDU's that the National Guard turned in because they were worn out.

Oh, and by the way, I don't think you need to type slowly for us. We are smart. Heck, my I.Q. is over 60, I'm sure.

Hogplaster, I kind of like the decorations I left on the Wilson. Gives it a bright and cheery feel. Puts a smile on your face knowing how much care was put into the job. Don't worry though, the shrimp tails will eventually rot off and the river will smell much better in a couple more weeks. Thinking I missed a real opportunity on the Clackamas though. It could have used my touch this year. Gary, I will see ya during springer season though. Got some old socks that might spruce up the property of yours. I'll dip them in so shrimp smelly jelly before I give'em a toss. :grin: I must appologise that my post is not as long as yours. :cheers:

Well, here we are on the eve of the splendid event and the smack talk thread has arrived with all of the strength of a raw liver steak. :sleep: Seems as though people aren't as confident of their abilities when the winter run isn't as strong as it was last year, so they're afraid to step up and deliver some talk. Pity.

Luckily for you folks I'll only be fishing on Sunday, so you can have two days to get to the fish market and find the biggest farm trout that they have. Remember to make sure that you are far enough away from the market so that it doesn't appear in the background of your riverside photos.

Best of luck to the thirty other aluminum boxes full of crackers that will be bouncing their boats off of the boulders as they head downriver this weekend. Try to remember that the biggest joy is merely being out in the rain and wind, and that catching fish isn't all THAT important. It will help you cope with the certain failure that you will experience.
