Fishey Eddie, When did I wrong you, in another life? I know nothing about springers, I've never had one cooked in my home. Now if this an offer, I would jump on the boat in short notice. It certainly looks more appealing than the invite from Catch and Eat. I say, just let me know and I would abandon ship and say burn Bernie burn, if I have better offer. I know when to take the next step and I may have already learned all I can from C and E :tongue: C and E, don't take it personal, if you still have something you can teach me, I am still your best understudy. You're still the best as none of them have shown me that they do anything better than you. You're the only one to step up and help me aboard. As for Bait of Eggs, he wants to show off his talents fishing from the rocks. Real fisherman don't resort to jetty fishing. He will probably use kelp WORMS for that too. Eat this [img]graemlins/lurk.gif[/img] Roy, it should wash down well with your Ritz.

Bernie Bernie Bernie, I can't believe you have such ill feelings torwards my fish. Mofish said he was'nt going to tell the secret of the 18 inch leader so I guess thats out of the bag

But there is more to this story and how to catch hogs like these every year :shocked: And I can't wait til Flotilla 4 comes cause we are cleaning house and we don't even need snapshots gernade-fly maybe it's a flatfish c-4 oh yhea c-4 try finding some of those :tongue: Oh have to run another phone call @ 1800 big-fish

Hey everyone isn't that a great day on the river. I remmeber that day well. Fishineddie was smileing from ear to ear when I took the photo. It was a good day. Texas Rig

Drachir · 02-05-2002, 04:47 PM

OK Jenny, now you can post the Truth Picture. I saw this @ Great American Tackle last weekend, it is a hoot!! :shocked:

Spooled · 02-05-2002, 05:12 PM

Rod, too bad you won't have a lisence to fish when Flotilla 4 gets here. None of those "springers" are clipped. :shocked:

O.S.P. will stop by to collect your lisence and boat soon. They said they would leave you your rod, as it is harmless to fish as long as you are using it.

Maybe you can ride along with me and Bernie on F4, as we will need someone to net our doubles. :tongue:

CATCH AND EAT · 02-05-2002, 06:12 PM

Wow, those are wild fish Rod. Good call Spooled. Rod you are now in major trouble dude. I have sent these photos to ODFW. Certainly will be a nice tiddy fine for ya boy!

People keeping fin clipped fish. Heck, that is as bad as fishing steelhead with an expired tag on your boat.

18" leader? Rookie luck! Just plain rookie luck. That fish had a death wish or had its eyes closed. Maybe it was genitically altered hatchery fish that was so stupid that it survived 2years in the salt and managed to just barly make it to carver only to fall to a dumb setup that a rookie cracker put accidently in the right spot. Or maybe the captain of the boat just put him in the right spot. :shocked:

Ray, you took this one HL&S (hook line and sinker).

dogfishboy · 02-05-2002, 06:48 PM

That's some serious MEAT. I 've hoisted a 45#er before and those guys are having no trouble holding up those fish. So what's the REAL story Jen?

Mofish · 02-05-2002, 08:02 PM

Catch and Eat you wish you just could have been their.

I need SnapShots wide angle for it. Put it this way

you Lose.

18inch leader [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

rob allen · 02-05-2002, 08:07 PM

If the photo ain't doctored i'd guess them to be fall chinook not springers. but then what would I know

Mofish · 02-05-2002, 11:33 PM

Something Smells Fishy?? Just to think Fishing Eddie took my suggestion and went with a 18inch leader.

Thats the secret to getten into the big ones.

Good job Eddie

CATCH AND EAT · 02-05-2002, 11:51 PM

Gee Mofish, those look real to me. Just as real as that native you released on Eagle Creek cleanup day. :shocked: How big was that thing anyway? 8 to 10 inches? [img]graemlins/lurk.gif[/img] :grin: [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

Now Rod, I could not help but notice that this picture was not posted "on the King James". Wondering, why is that Brother? :grin:

Fishing Eddie · 02-06-2002, 05:17 AM

Boys, boys, boys, I can't believe you all dog me like you do. Bernie if it wasn't that you have never caught a springer before I would really be hurt, You know the fish didn't have to be clipped til April 1, 2 years ago that's when those big boys had been around. As for OSP, the guy at the far end of the boat is OSP where do you think we got the c-4 kwik fish?? :grin: Spooled, oh the only reason you want me in your boat is keep the two of you un-tangled

Oh yes by the way we all work out on a Thursday nights just to hold fish this big with one hand.
You guys you really think Jennie has any thing to do with it, like shes hideing something. I'm sure shes

by you accusing her of any wrong doing. I have another picture I'll Jen post for me later today if she would have the time :grin: :grin:

Jennie@ifish · 02-06-2002, 06:53 AM

THE TRUTH

Snapshot · 02-06-2002, 06:49 PM

Bernie, I realize you are trying to be a guru, and help me out. My mom always said that I was a slow learner. I figure I need all the help I can get and if it takes both of you to get me going then so be it. So, your skills as a captain put MOOOFish into one of those loose lipped egg sucking steelied, with a pea brain, jsut \whoi was sleeping when we saw you jump at the second take down and miss? Was that Eddie or MOOOFish that missed the set? I'm still nieve and easy to impress but so far, that's the most fish I've seen from one boat for springers. I am just about ready to jump ship unless you do have some more tricks. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

Fishing Eddie · 02-07-2002, 09:36 AM

Snapshot, I can't believe C&E has not told you the truth yet about MoFish's fish . As time was running out at F3.5 Bernie needed a good [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img] That was the same fish he caught new years day that he kept alive :shocked: I could'nt believe he would stoop soooooo :depressed:
We will get you out for some K-BOYS this year. :grin: :grin:

TEXAS RIG · 02-08-2002, 04:02 PM

I remember now that is the real photo that i took of you guys. Fishing Eddie is always trying to pull our leg. Great Job. [img]graemlins/lurk.gif[/img]

happybrew · 02-08-2002, 07:41 PM

So if I go fishing with a computer, can I actually enlarge the fish, and not just the pictures? I'd really like to know how to do that. Would I hook the fish, and prior to reeling it in, hit "save as" and click "monster fish"? Or would I hit the "zoom" buttom prior to reeling it in?

Fishing Eddie · 02-13-2002, 10:30 AM

Robert just wanted to show you what great guys there are on this sight :grin: And thought you might want to see the great work that your brother had done :shocked: You really need to start a fish-tails photo business
