I think that the Salmon Trout Steelhead cover could have been so much better with these shots.

Must be the young BB, just can't figure out if its Bret Boone or TRBO......!!

Man those colors were almost as loud as the ones I wore in the Big Bold 80's.

Gotta love those pants in the first pic!

dude. i had pants just like those when i was in 4th grade.

This Grranimals fishing outfit is a winnah!
These were the only colors the old Baghwan Shree Rajneesh would let his brainwashed "disciples" wear steelheading the John Day way back when...red power Bob!

Sammy Hagar would be so proud

The red on that jacket is so bright, it's almost painful! OUCH!

Damn, Sparkey that makes me old enough to be your Dad!

Time marches on....

Oh my I knew someone was up to no good when I saw those uploads from old Mr. Coyote!!!

Just proof that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to those Skagit Humpies and whoopin' on some brats at Reiter ... THAT'S MY ROCK!

I'll bet I could fill the whole Smithsonian with pix of me in either the tops or bottoms in Pic 1, a certain Polo "Hi-Tech" hoody would probably come close too.

Fishgal found that old Freddy krueger shirt about 6-7 years ago and made me throw it away ... it was one or the other. That damned shirt almost won!!

Sure glad to see that he hasn't lost either that red hooded sweatshirt or his knock-em-dead smile.

Merry Christmas Bob (and Corey). Thanks for a great board. Hope to see you on many more STS's to come.

well if you are old enough to be only my dad, consider yourself young. most people here are probably old enough to be my grandfather.

I didn't throw the shirt away, I am saving for something ... I just don't know what yet. As soon as I scan it I have another great one to put up

Sparkey,

I want you to know that I deeply resemble that remark!

...maybe a bed for the new puppy...

Proof that you don't have to wear dark/camo clothes to catch some fish....

I used to be that skinny too.

The mondo striped shirt was tolerable, to a point, but add in those pyscho-pink-purple-camo drawers ... by the end of a long fishing day, you could feel the woosiness coming on!

As one of Bob's personal photographers/fishin' buddies, during the early days, I can attest to the fact that our fearless leader sported some "classic" on the water attire. We all had a good laugh or two , especially about those pants. But nobody Bobby took under his wing those early years had anything but respect for a guy who put everything he had into the pursuit of catching salmon and steelhead.

Thanks for all the great times on the water, Bob!!!

Merry Christmas, to you and Corey.

Jim

All we needed was lots of rain to cover that wild stuff up....

Calawah steel 1991?

I didn't know Bob played soccer for the Liverpool!

Here will be Bob and his family after that annual 5 gallons of eggnog take hold while they are unloading the giant Christmas stockings :

My eye's, my eye's!!!! Dear god my eye's!

Calawah steel, that looks like a silver actually.

Curtis -
I agree it is not a steelhead but it isn't a silver either - keep looking and you may figure it out - a gorgeous specimen of the species.

However you have missed the whole point of the thread - it isn't always about the fish. Sometimes it is something serious like soccer (LOL)

Tight lines
