Fishing Cowgirl Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Mine is alittle self explanitory. I came from an outdoors ranching family, riding and rodeo was my first passion. Learned how to fish from the bank on Shinge Creek where it ran alongside my Grandparents ranch. Because I wanted to cast to where the bigger fish hung out, I would get my trusty pony, and ride him out to where the water touched his belly. I could reach the other side of the bank easier, and we would kinda "troll" around to different spots. My parents always knew after school, if my fishing pole and pony were missing, I was out fishing. Fishing Cowgirl. 4 Quote

To that you might add, Dean Rojas came to Florida one day and set the BASS 1-day stringer in 'your' backyard (Shingle Creek) Roger 1 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 27, 2014 Super User Posted February 27, 2014 RW- where is your story??? I have always wondered....... do tell! I lived in Colorado when Mel Gibson came online. I was a hunter, not a fisherman at the time. I wore a lot of leather, holstered a Python 357 Magnum and carried serious knives. I liked cowboy hats, but was one of the first to sport the Indiana Jones style. Some of my buddies started referring to me a The Roadwarrior and it stuck. 2 Quote

To that you might add, Dean Rojas came to Florida one day and set the BASS 1-day stringer in 'your' backyard (Shingle Creek) Roger Roger,I totally agree! There are some seriously big bass way up on Shingle Creek. Our family probably ate a record book bass in 1971. Dad caught it Jigger pole fishing from a john boat. a 2lber ate the porkrind frog and then a monster bass ate it! I remember looking at that huge fish which completely filled up a big green Coleman Cooler, with the tail of the other bass sticking out of it's mouth. We didn't think of weighing it or if we did I don't remember. I was about 11. Mom and I have been looking for the photograph or at least a negative of it. 1 Quote

Crookedneck Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 When my son was born there were some complications at birth. He was a big boy right from the start and during his birth there was an epic tug of war....a struggle between him and the Dr. The doctor ended up winning. One of the many injuries to my son was that all muscles on the left side of his neck were torn away from the base of his skull & chest. Surgeries & physical therapy started at 5 days old. For the first 6 or 7 months his neck was weak & crooked. Due to our schedules (and the amount of pain & tears from both my son & wife) I attended and did most of the physical therapy with my boy. He and I quickly got known by the therapists as Team CrookedNeck...... 2 Quote

hookset on 3 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 When worm fishing with either a Texas Rig or Carolina Rig, it goes like this: 1) feel the bite. 2) "weigh" the line to sense if their is any kind of life on the other end. 3) Cross their eyes. By the way, it's a fast three count! Quote
cadman Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The name cadman started out two ways. For a long time I have designed sheetmetal parts. Then cad came around instead of drawing on the board. So I started with AutoCad, then switched jobs and used CadKey, which at that time I also used a cad package called Profold. After that, I used a package called Metalsoft and now Solidworks. So I have used a lot of cad packages throughout the years. Part 2 came from as I used cad for my daily job, I got into designing some molds using cad for pouring lead jigs. These were then created into bass jigs which to this day I make and sell as cad designed custom jigs, which I had to shorten because of too many words. Hence the name cadman, from work and fishing.

Crookedneck Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 That's awful! It is all good now. He is a strong boy. There is a picture of him floating around somewhere here on B.R. of my son and a big 6lb 14 oz smallie he caught last year as a 4 year old. Quote
