YOU ARE THE STUD!

^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^

Look at his face! He is demon spawn!!!
A damn fine specimen, the likes of which I will encounter someday!

Wow! very nice.

Do you guys remember those stickers of the
BAD BOY club with the spiked hair. Same guy just older and shorter hair, Park do you have bad boy tatooed on your bicep?
Nice Fish!
Joe

Nice fish, bud. My only hope is that you realize the true meaning of how majestic and magnificent that fish is.

I need to step away from the board for a period of time. I said some things about Parker, true or not, that I'm not particularly proud of. I'm human, I'm an asshole, we've spoken on the phone and we are going to try and put this one behind us.

I don't know....if I had to look at that mug for a week I'd probably say some things too.

i dont like to be nit picky or a nay sayer and its not like I havent done it and maybe I missed where you caught it but......is that fish supposed to be out of the water ?????

Legal where he was fishing.

Nice fish.

THE WATER IS BOILING ALL AROUND HIM! THATS ONE GREAT BEAST OF A FISH.

Thanks everyone!

I was so spent and exhausted after that fish that I could barley tail it, let alone get the mid-section of the fish up for the photo - hence the grimmace on the photo.

I flat out just quit fishing for the day after that fish. I was spent. Done. Shaking like it was my first ever steelhead. Talking a mile a minute to Bob, who was laughing the whole time.

Wish I had a great story to tell like Salmonella, but I do not. The fish fought really hard and flat out abused me on the spey rod (hence the "this is gay" comments I made on video). I tried everything in my power to lose the fish, but could not. I had no feel for what a 12 pound tipped could or could not do on a 14' spey rod.

The fish eventually left it's little pool and made a run down the heavy water with me in running on water in tow. Fortunately, I was able to coax him over to the shallows where Bob helped in landing it, as there was no way I was going to muscle that fish all the way to the beach on it's side.

Regardless of what was said on the board earlier, that trip was by far the best fishing trip I've been on and I can only thank the other 3 guys for putting up with my crap. I'm overly-competitive when it comes to fishing and it rubbed off on my fishing partners for the week. They were up for the experience, in their sacred waters, I was not . I don't think they will ever truly forgive me, but at least I walked away from this experience seeing myself in a different light - a light I will work hard on to change.

We can all be a horses ass sometimes. Just wish someone would have pointed that horses ass out to me earlier.....


Probably will never get invited back up there again, but at least I have some awesome memories.

Not me. I'm pure as the driven snow.

I didn't want to talk to you in person during the trip because I have a tendancy to let my emotions escalate in a verbal confrontation and I did not want to ruin the trip for everyone. That said, I should not have let you push my button on the board and react the way I did. But that's me, spontanious and forthright. What I should have done is send my thoughts via email. My mistake.

What do you say we hook-up before to long and wipe this one off the books, bro? And next time you piss me off I'll just tell you to go fuc% yourself instead of bottling it up.

We should probably stick with day trips for awhile, though.

Aw, come on, Parker. Just make up a story that even Big Stick would be proud of.

Now what's this sh!t you said about friends don't let friends fly fish for steelhead?

I'm glad you guys all kissed and made up.
Here's to big fish in everyone's future.

Ahhh...Group Hug!

Great pics and stories guys...

You guys did talk about spooning up there.Did you take turns being in back?

Honestly I think we make the three stooges look like a foursome....
Some pretty funny shiznit up there if I do say so myself! Good times fellas.

I think I saw Sol and Stam spooning once. You should have seen the cubby hole that Sol wanted me to sleep in.... I would not have been able to sleep on my side...
He reluctantly allowed me to sleep in the table area, in the biggest bed in the camper!!! :p

Im surprised there were no casualties. Three or four A types all liquored up...Oy yoy yoy...Betty Fords running a 33% off special for groups of 2 or more. Just a thought.

Wow! JK finally said something that didn't piss me off and made me laugh.

And the water goes under the bridge...........

Good on both of you.

Good for you guys, wouldn't want this to carry over to the SRC! Too good of a group to be pissed at each other, hell, it's fishing that brought you all together.
Beers all around...

As per usual, I bust out a chainsaw to cut a toothpick. When I fuc% up I do it bigtime. My wife puts up with shi% like this on a regular basis.

I think she needs HELP

Seeing as I'm in a forgiving mood, I forgive you, Aunty. I never was one to harbor a grudge.

I think I hear Mr. Potter knocking on my door. Damn, I was gonna stay sober until Friday, too.

We had my trailer in a non-serviced site until Thursday night. By the time we moved the batteries were dead and water was condenced all over the interior. Truly, the Bates motel. At least it wasn't the Masterbates motel. Not in my bunk anyway.

Fishermen all get on each others' nerves if they are shacked up for more than a couple of days...with all the drinking, lying, one upmanship, drinking, foul weather, bad food, drinking...did I mention the drinking part?

I know I get on Sol's nerves...God knows he gets on mine...but I still look forward to fishing with him each spring as one of my favorite weekends of the year!

Fish on...

Todd

We'll do it again this year too, If you can throttle back on the dialog...just a little.

Sound like maybe your begining to grow as an angler, climbing that hierarchy of needs so to speak. Someday it maybe more about the experience, the fish and your contribution back to the resource. Not so much about self promotion and ego. Happy climbing...

See! That is ZERO TO DONE in a nutshell. The coat fits bud...

Wow! Oprah really has changed the world.

Hey Sol Iknow you say you were not born to follow but you sure do crawdad like a pro!

Baby steps Rich...baby steps. I'm still kinda fond of my shameless self promotions...

Like they say Solly, "To err is human, to forgive is Divine."

Sounds to me like you're one step closer to giving thanks to the Creator for the fishes in the sea and the awesome privelege it is to catch them.
Better yet, one step closer to praising God for the forgiveness he extends to each of us.

aka repentance. Most excellent.


Overall sounds like you guys had a life changing trip.
And caught some fish too. Congrats.

Y'all in my prayers daily and I'm very glad you all made it back safely.

M

PS. How 'bout that spectacular sunset tonight. Kinda puts things in perspective, don't it.

Don't get your hopes up yet, Mooch.

The Rev. Dr. Parker is living proof that there can't be a god. Simple as that.

Either that, or I sold my soul to the Devil for that fish.

At this point in time, it's really a coin toss as to which is true.

1. Michael, my hope may be FOR you, but it's not IN you. It's in Christ.

2. Our unfaithfullness to God does not nullify his faithfullness to us.

3. News flash: Each of our souls were sold to the Devil long before you ever caught that fish.
Good news for those that believe is that we were bought back for an incalcuble price.

BTW, you can keep your coin and your fish, cause this amazing grace is freely given to those who would ask.

Bob Ball, he can arrange this type of thing!
Stam I'm right there with you. I got home and told my wonderful wife I'm going back next year. She said ok! As long as she gets to do whatever she wants for the same week. Signed, Sealed, and delivered.... I'm done.

Stam,

You might want to be really specific about that 40" when you're dealing with the prince of D.

The guy's a snake.

And although it ain't free, it won't cost you an incalcuble price either.

And although it ain't free, it won't cost you an incalcuble price either. [/QB][/QUOTE]

Mooch, haven't you been paying attention? Oprah is the spiritual leader of the country now...........chosen by popular opinion.


Oprah is a gamer. She can adapt to her audience. Here's how she'll hang if she ever shows up here to preach to the PP minions................this might even get Sol's attention..........

Mingo... Thats the first time.. ever.. That you let me down. Hope you NEVER do it agin. I don't like what I see there, and attached to "Oprah" give me something to think about that I'd rather not. Read someplace that if she ran for president she would win no problem.

On the other hand.. Katie Couric.. I'd hit it.

Uh Huhh

Me like

On another note.. My main girl Heather Locklear really let me down.. In fact.. I don't want it any more.

My wife was watching country music the other day.. and there she was kissing and rubbing up on that A-hole Toby Keith. We are done I tell ya.

So this is what I have to look forward to as I age?

Worse than you know buddie in the real world.

When I was a kid I has some serious game. But for an example, The other day I was going down the freeway and saw my 22 year old daughter driving in front of me. The girl in the car with her was smoking hot. I got close and she was looking at me because I was looking at her so I gave her the forked fingers over the mouth with a tounge wag. She tells my daughter.. " this guy is checking me out and rude" Daughter says " Is he cute ",, " GOD NO HE'S OLD"..

JESUS ITS MY DAD...

I guess as long as I can cast a rod and raise a gun it won't be so bad.

I'm spending the night in Missoula tomorrow....I like those Montana girls.

Originally posted by Parker:
Stam, Neal and I have each fished the Skeena tribs a half dozen times or more. For Parker to roll in and drop the hammer on a 30-pound toad was a little like watching an Olympic Gold Metal be awarded to last place.

That's a joke, Parker. Don't get bent. I was and still am happy as hell for you.

As far as group dynamics and this whole mess, this trip is a ball buster. Expectations are as high as Mt. Rainer and even old fishing buddies can have issues. I remember just a few years ago, Stam and I had a falling out over authorship of a photo. We had a petty altercation much like Parker and I on this trip that boiled over into snid remarks on some threads and we finally realized our friendship was worth more than either of our singular opionions on the subject. Today, he's still my favorite fishing buddy. So Parker, don't fret, bro. You didn't burn any bridges, man.

Watch out B Run those Mormons down there will burn you at the stake.
First laugh of the day.

Gotta have the cowboy hat and the pick up too.
Or as you said be verticle and female.

Clean up in NOFISH's office, coffee spewed....

Dang that is the funniest visual I've had in a long time, worthy of a Man Show episode

Guys, Parker caught a big fish and all that. Excellent.

But what we really want to know right now is if either Sol or Parker would hit Katie Couric. I know Stam would

Head on like a Mac truck driving the wrong way on the freeway.

O.K seastrike.. these guys will back me up on this.

Whats even more disturbing than the little hotties not wanting you is the fact that the "OLD SKANKS " want you bad.

I stop at the same gas place most every day to pick up some coffie. Happens over and over.. 35 years old, fat, stud in tounge and a tatt with a little diamond stud in her nose.. I'm a nice guy and am not mean to her so after awhile she is looking at me like I am a lolly pop because she has the impression that maybe since I am older and have probably lowered my standards she might have a chance.

Nothing worse than gross girls flrting with when they never used to.

[/QUOTE]either her... or your daughters friend... or your daughter...Huh, interesting, it would be kinda cool to call ya dad [/QB][/QUOTE]

Gotta tell ya up front Stam that any guy who marries my daught and calls me Dad will spend a big chunk of his time mowing my yard and pretty much kissing my ass 24/7

You paint a pretty picture there B Run.
I'll stick with the forked fingers and tongue waggin picture instead.

Now that's a good one

B- run be prepared either way that may or may not happen. She might show up with one of those guys with ear grommets and announce, Daddy I want you to meet my new husband....

Better yet, she may introduce her "hot friend" as her Life Long Mate...

I was told that while on the "Fishing Trip" Parker had arranged for the boys to meet some lovlies at the local spa up in BC.
Perhaps this explains the hard feelings towards him.

that is why they call it skina river system ... lots of sceen

Today's news...Paris and Nicole made up. Parker/Sol...Paris/Nicole...coincidence?

They shoudlnt even make Bikini's that big.

Forget the wine and flowers. Bring a box of Bon-bons and a bag of flower and your set for the evening.

I'd rather hit a transvestite midget first.....

I can't STAND that women.

Does THAT answer the question????

I don't *like* her either, but I bet I could make her wince.

Parker,, Baby Jesus cries every time you say you can't stand Katie Couric. You don't want that hanging over your head.. well do you ???

Katie really turns my crank. I would love to see that smirky demeanor replaced by wailing animal sounds,with her hair all mussed up and sweat pouring between those perky little boobs, while she screams something like "Double clutch it muthafokker." Gotta go now. Need a shower.

LMFAO......

Ok, Dave, that made me cry from laughing so hard.

LMAO!!!!!!

Can't stop laughing.......

I don't care who you are, but that's some funny schnizzle right there!

To funny,, wife just walked past me coming in the door from work, I asker her " Do you think its strange that I want to nail Katie Couric" She says " hell, I want to nail Katie Couric.. WTF have you been doing all day ? "..

Gotta go now.

I hate to bust everyone's nut but if she ain't a tranny Fly's the President of the NAACP. She's packin' wood, man.

sorry to disappoint ya sol....i cant always be on my game...i was gonna type something to rip ya, but in ur fragile state i declined...i never kick a man when hes down...im still waitin for ya to "rip my head off" though...one question? How did ya find out i gave good head? (consider that a freebee from ur intellectual superior)

Are you one of those guys that carries a gridge? I let that shi% go already, man.

i know where u live and where u work

Stop by sometime.

only if theres a worm in the bottle...its all good...i just like razzin ya...im sure wed be buds if we met...were both insane

Does that make me gay?

Not if you like anal....I think?

ahhhh...i get it....so thats why parkers pissed....wuddnt enough to go around...<<<plays theme song from "Deliverance"

Dave, are you "gettin'" or "givin'"...



I think she must have heard about this thread!

Here's a nice one of Katie, back in the day...



...not that she hasn't aged well...







Fish on...

Todd

We need some rain!
Talk to you all in 10 days.
Them elks don't stand a chance.

Dang that cheerleader pic looks pretty good.
I'll look for one like that in MT tonight.
I've been reading this board way too much lately (I'm on here at 6am today!). I look forward to 10 days of no cell and no internet.
I'm sure I'll be right back on here when I get back though.
KK- I thought old guys went to bed early?

KK...too much fishing lately to spend much time pushing the authoritarians around...but this thread was too hard to pass up.

I'm outta here in ten minutes for five days of low water steelheading...at least the camping will be nice.

You behave now, ya hear?

Fish on...

Todd

I don't care what anyone says Katie is hot. Clevage with freckels and a cute smile. What more do you need?

It wouldn't hurt if she had a little money to go with those devilish looks.

What more do you need?

Well, in a pefect world she could at least acknowledge the fact that she has never once called me back

Suppose her ears have been burning for the last 24 hours and she has no idea why ??

I once made an Ann Coulter Voodoo doll and rammed a sharp stick up its butt, but I see she is still alive. So I recon IF ( or should I say when) I ruff up the suspect thinking about Katie she won't even know its happening

B Run...you wouldn't hit Ann? A little duct tape and all would be cool.

What did Sol say " Like a Mack truck "..

All that and a very healthy colon....
I'll pass on Katie.

I could probably do a little more hunting and fishing with a sugar mamma with her kind of dinero however...

Looks like she's packed on some weight since her debut at CBS...

"...you wouldn't hit Ann? A little duct tape and all would be cool"
I just can't abide a woman with an Adam's apple.

You guys are missing it with the fat women. You just take a piece of chalk and mark the spot you've been. I did have to give up one gal, I walked around her, there was another guy standing there with a piece of chalk!!

I always liked throwing flour on them and finding the wet spot.

The crappy part is waking up the next morning hung over with a mouthful of flour.
