The REAL first springer!
 That's me with the first official springer of the year. I kinda look like Zane Grey, I've been told that. It's a huge fish, I know. Kinda looks like a shark but it's not. You'll notice it's a nate, I gently released it after the photo, which looks old but it's not, I swear! I took it yesterday, just look at the trees. Caught
this bad boy with my own secrete sauce and two all beef patties.
Why should the carrots get to have all the fun. I can catch those chromers too! :grin:

Re: The REAL first springer!
Hey Greenbutt, we all know you are a graphic artist savy in the ways of technology. So why don't you just tell everyone here the truth... that you edited out the brown knit tie you were wearing that day.

Re: The REAL first springer!
C&E,
I was married to Pamela Anderson and Cindy Crawford. Neither one fish, so I had to dump them over the side like leftover smelt.
Yes, I am bored, could ya tell?
LNF,
Hey, those brown knit ties are coming back, just you wait. It'll go with my Members Only jacket I am saving.

Don't let the Salty Dogs see that tuna rod you're holding. They'll all want one. That baby could do some damage.

Caught one just like it this morning on the Tualatin GBS. I'm mounting it next to the fall nook I pulled out of Fanno creek this October behind Fowler Middle! :-)

Re: The REAL first springer!
I hope that beef was tested prior to use it could transmit and turn into mad springer disease and put all the netters out of biz, oh yea I think you did right by dumping those tramps Cyndi and Pam... they were trouble, you got a keeper for sure now :grin:

Re: The REAL first springer!
GBS, it looks like a Whale of a tale to me. It appears to have a partial fin clipped to me.
Was that with mono or braided line and a circle hook?
Great to read an honest post for a change. Just how is Pam and your new daughter doing? Well, we hope.

Re: The REAL first springer!
That is what they look like,,, I have been doing it all wrong. I have been catching these little 20 lb bright silver fish with pink meat. I will have to change tactics......
That looks like the mult channel. 20 feet of water with prawns?

Re: The REAL first springer!
Hey Greenbuttskunk, I wondered where those two women came from when I pulled them out of the water. I almost married them too, but they say the definition of BIGAMY is one wife too many. . . Funny, I always thought that was the definition of MONOGAMY??

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Actually, yes. Wearing a tie and jacket marks you as someone who has too much class to be a snagger. Thus, everyone must wear a tie while fishing. Anyone without a tie will be assumed to be a snagger, and ticketed on the spot. I've heard, though, that upscale fishing guides will have a tie and jacket available for those who forgot to bring one, sort of like in fancy restaurants.
