Why did you pick your board name?

Mine came from a conversation with the Late Mr Herbeck (Herbie's Dad).
We were drinking after a tough day on the water and I struck up a conversation with Mr. Herbeck. I think we talked for 2 - 3 hours. During this conversation, he keep saying "Sharp Hooks". Typing it out like this does absolutely no justice to the way he was saying it. So when I needed to pick a name, I remember that conversation and picked those words as my board name. Brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.

My boats name + it fits my passion for Esox fishing. I love toothy critters.

Not to be confused with "MuskyKid" (someone else who is much younger than me), I picked it because at 56 years old (I'm really 57), I am just a "kid" (fishing for toothycritters for 6-7 years now) compared with a lot of you fellows. However, I've made up for it with my outrageous purchases of rods, lures, etc.

I've got the fever!!!!

Initially I was jm03 which was obviously not very creative and was often getting confused with another jmxx. Then people started calling me Lunch_Box because I was always the poor sap who had to bring lunch as I didn't have a boat. After getting a boat I somewhat appropriately started getting called Chinewalker which turned into Luke_Chinewalker. Stay tuned for the next itteration of the bald and the fishless.

My board handle, Ballistic, comes from my fascination with hunting rifles, old and new. I use that name in the chat room and on other boards, no secret there.

[:bigsmile:] You are what you eat[:bigsmile:]
Actually, I've been Beaver since I was 3 years old. I got that handle because I used to chew on the window cills while I stared out the window. Even back then I yearned to be outside.

Mine is not too complex. My name is Tony, and a lot of my friends simply call me Tone.

we have Tim Horton's coffee here in Canada and Believer1 used to say lets go for a Timtothehuhuh, so one day I said in the boat "I'd like to nail a Musktothehuhuh" and so it continues here.

I've floated rivers for almost 45 years. Along with my lake boats I have three jon boats. My wife says, when I go to muskie heaven, shes going to weld two jonboats together for my casket. Hope to see a 50"er before that.[:devil:] [:halo:]

I picked up PapaJoe as a screenname in the early days of the internet. I had an IBM XT with a 300baud modem in 1986, and posted to a BBS with a bunch of IBM freaks who were also into computers (obviously).

Actually, come to think of it, the first time I was called Papa was at a Grateful Dead show, I already had arthritis at age 19 so I danced like an old man, stiff back and all. So it was Papa Bear for a couple days and then Papa Joe stuck.
(pretty sure it came from the Sports guy on the radio--PapaJoe Tranio)

So I just tell people they call me PapaJoe, out of respect.

I will give the more interesting explanation, though it really ISNT the real one.....I have a tendency to run my truck, boat, and baits into heavy immoble objects.
I did have a run in with a gas station and my trailer last spring, the gas pump won.....I will run my boat all the way up on the beach or rocks (no fiberglass in my future!)....dont decelerate too much on the way to the dock.

I got mine from Runnin Hot when I bought the Ranger 519. Notice, I use 2 m's in Commanche, and not 1 m as Ranger does. Copyright/Trademark problems? Eh...

When I first "discovered" musky fishing just a few years ago I originally went under the moniker, MuskieVirgin. But, fortunately, that did not last too long. After catching it changed to DocEsox. I was so used to the kids in the military just calling me "Doc" I just added the natural ending for musky fishing.

Pretty easy as it is what I am all about. I will pull my bait away from sub 40 follows unless I am desparate for a fish wich is almost never.

It also is the beginning of my web site address. [:p]

Just my real name. I figure that I am on a gentelmans board with like people who love to talk about and fish for muskies. No need to hide or cover who I am. I have personly never felt like anyone was beeing snobish or high and mighty because there a top muskie angler or anything like that. This is a great board that has helped me alot in the past year of muskie fishing. (Just had to get my punches in to anyone who feels that they have to go Annon.) For those you are lazy and just don't register, thats fine aslong as there is no board bashing.

Very simply put it is what I think. Muskies are indeed Number One with me. Also has been my e mail addy since I first went online. Not the only fish I chase, but they certainly are Numero Uno.........

A little play on our confusing language.
--gh-- from tough
--o-- from women
--ti-- from vacation
what I live for--FISH

Ever since I was a kid, my dad would tell me that I was off "drowning worms" whenever I'd go fishing. Thank the Lord, the old fella is still around to tell me that! [:)]

Neat Post...

Pretty simple for me.

Oneida, the county in NO. Wisconsin that I live and fish, and Esox, what I live to fish for!

It's kind of funny, I find myself at shows and various events introducing myself as "Oneida Esox" not "John Stellflue"

So it stands to reason that when I decided to take the plunge and start guiding, "Oneida Esox Guide Service" was the name I came up with.

The internet is an amazing thing! God bless.

All you Deadheads know what it's like to follow a band around for a summer and have hundreds of hours of live music of your band on DAT, tapes, cds, etc ...

Us phish phans are way too uncreative to coin our own phrase so we had to borrow a little ...

Mine is pretty simple, I stole it off my drivers license. I would have just went with my full name but my ex does not need to type it in and do a yahoo search.

Mine is just to let you think a little. Chemical symbol for water, H 2 O add an S and when most people write my name they only use 1 T in my last name, I have 2Ts = Watters.
