Location: Southern W.Va. | My dad gave me his prize deer rifle, a Model 22-F Brno. 7.9MM Mauser action. Probably shoots better than I do but I do have a 275 yd. shot on a fat 4-pointer across a open field. Made me feel good.

| Papa Joe was first used at Alpine Valley WI at a Grateful Dead show in around 1986. I had been dealing with arthritis in my spine (still do) and by then I'd gotten kind of stiff and gimpy, and my friends started calling me Papa because I looked like an old codger, dancing much more stiffly than usual.
A while later it was my first nickname on the old BBS bulletin boards, and eventually my on-line handle for just about everything.
I usually tell people who ask that they call me Papa Joe out of respect.
Most of you know that's not entirely true.
Later,
papa Joe |

Location: Lafayette, IN | While motoring over to a local farm pond when I was about 8 or 9 my uncle Dave (who is largely responsible for my love of fishing) started making up songs with my first and middle names just to make me laugh. "Stephen Dale" became "Stephen Dawg Dale" during this improv session. Stephen Dawg has been my nickname ever since. Brings back lots of great childhood memories... |

| I've been Beaver since I was 3-years old.
I used to stare out of the windows....usually because I was grounded for beating up my 2 brothers who would be outside playing.....and I would chew on the window sills, much like a caged animal clawing at his cage. Got called Beaver back then and it stuck. There are people that I went to high-school with who still don't know my real name.
Sincerely,
James Allen Francis Slivinski |

Location: Wauwatosa, WI | I used to work with some visiting Japanese surgeons and I took them out for diner. They liked to drink, so I took them out to one of the Milwaukee bars. By the end of the night ,they started calling me parman. I didn't think to much of it till one day they said " when is parman going to take us out again". I asked what the ##LL does parman mean. They replied "in our country it means someone who likes to go out and party". It kind of stuck the two years they were here, now I use it as an upbeat kind of attitude when I fish. the 99 is from my favorite hockey player(the great one).

Location: Madison, WI | They are the two things I spend the most time persuing both during the season and the off-season when its time to stock up on new gear. Checking out new decoys and lures is almost as much fun for me as the time spent hunting and fishing.

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Started out ~ 12 years old when I cauight my first northern pike (fish with teeth). ~35 years later a friend asked me to go on a muskie trip. I've been hooked ever since I saw my first "supertanker". The board name just seemed logical given I'm usually fishing for one or the other. The last part is probably obvious to those who have fished with me. It's also what I named my Skeeter.

Location: God's Country......USA..... Western Wisconsin | Simply put, it is where my favorite fish stands in the world of freshwater fishing. I have been a little disappointed in that the Wisconsin vanity license plate of the same name has allready been taken. I did however see the vehicle with this plate while on a Muskie trip to Minocqua last year. A little wierd to see my board name on someone elses tow vehicle. It has also been my e mail "nick" since the dawn of my entering of the cyber world. |

Location: Eagle River, Alaska | When I first started out on these boards I was MuskieVirgin....but that changed after my first trip with Trophymusky.....but he was very gentle... 
I was still in the Air Force then and all the kids just call me "Doc" (I'm a dentist)....so it became DocEsox. A name Slamr takes in vain when he can.

Location: Iowa | Mine came from a cousin(in a round-about way) while on the Chip when we were kids. I was up there with I believe 6 others who all had the last name of Griswold. I think the comment made was "All the Griswold's and one Lone Stone." Seemed fitting when I discovered the internet and muskie boards. |

| You know how a bald guy gets called curly? That amount of facetiousness is why people called me Musky Tom. |
