I just realized I passed my 600th post on the board. Took almost 6 years but I made it. Alot of things have come and gone in those 6 years. I met Bob and Pat Graham at a seahawks game. Actually met Pat years before at Larry's Brewing supply when he came to visit his Brother. Lost 250 pounds after having lap band sugery. Caught and crackered many a fish in that time. Got engaged to my future wife that loves to fish. Watched my 3 nieces and nephew grow up and get the chance to teach them all to fish, camp and The Value of knowing about the outdoors and enjoying it. But the high light of all was probably the time SOl told me I looked like Ron Jeremy the porn star, Dude you crack me up.

Its all good around here, I am allways entertained and get to start my day with a good laugh. Their is allways something to be learned to add to my fishing arsenal. Stories to share, jabs to be traded, and good old smack talk, trashing of each other fishing skills.

Thanks to Bob and the Mods for the great site and I am looking forward to my next 600 posts.

Where you standing at the urinal when Sol said that?

Thats the funny part no. IF he had he would of never made that comment. LOL

thats gonna break tbirds heart he idolizes ron jeremy

600, ehh? How about 7000+?

You've probably noticed I don't post allot anymore. I guess after 7000 smart-ass posts and punctuating societies disfunction in sarcastic quotation marks I've pretty much said my piece. I've met allot of really cool people here on the board, some of which will be lifelong friends while others have proved to be a major disapointment. I've learned allot, not so much about fishing, but about human nature in general. I guess most of all this board has been a welcome distraction from the daily grind at work. It's been fun, I'm not going anywhere, just burnt out is all.

Have fun and hang with those that have your back.

Gotta love a "hedgehog" comment. When in doubt, referrence Mr. Jeremy.

Congratulations on the milestones.

And thanks for attending the springer allocation/steelhead impact meetings.

Congrats.... Sounds like Sol aged 10 yrs in the last 6...

Troller...congrats!
That's about a post every 3 days or so......and judging from your comments/accomplishments in the past 6 years, I'd say you have a life. Congrats for that as well!!

Aunty, on the other hand,.......never mind

Congrats troller. Especially on loosing the 250 pounds. My sister is going through the same process. A lot more changes happen after that surgery besdies weight loss.



I'm sorry. I did not mean to disapoint you Sol. Lets go drown some bait.

500 for j7

Troller, you helped me out with some information in a post a few years ago. Glad to see you are still around. Congrats on all of the good things going on in your life, especially the weight loss and upcomming nuptials.

This board does offer an escape from some of the terrible realities of life, as well as a damn fine place to be entertained and exchange information, not to mention making a few friends.

Good luck!

Mentally, not physically.

Troller you prolific poster.Your post rate puts mine to shame. Plus you have some good stuff to say. I just need to go fishing to be able to post a report.


An old gent wizened by his 80 plus years on this rock shared a little bit of his life knowledge with me. The two greatest honors in this life are getting on her and staying on her. Have a good day.
