Super User clayton86 Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 does any one else here name fish either in your pond or local waters. me and my nephew have a LMB we have named one eye joe we catch him several times a year in a local private lake its been cool watching him get bigger with each passing year last year he was at 5.14 we always catch him on the south east bank of this 15 acre lake. hes easy to identify cuz hes missing an eye hence one eye joe or maybe its jane never check out the plumbing haha Quote
Hot Rod Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 No, I don't name any fish. Except when I catch them in a tournament then I call each one "Money"! "Hey GET THE NET...THATS MY MONEY FISH!" (Wish Quantum hadn't taken that commercial off air and off their site. ) Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 I had a huge steelhead buck in one of my local ditches that broke three rods, and many, many leaders. He had a name that I can't say here. ;D Quote
Stasher1 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I don't even name the ones in the glass tank beside me. But then again, they're just food for the turtle... Quote
LunkerBandit Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 There's a massive largemouth in one of my local ponds who is always jumping around. I call him "The Boss". No matter what i throw at him i just cant get him to bite. Quote
Five-Alive Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Yes, but only one in a pond that Hook Set and I fish. He caught her last and she was 27.75" long with a 19.5" girth. The pond owners son called her Sam but we have dubbed her "Samantha". Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 I have called them names but have never named one. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 I have called them names but have never named one. Were they all sons of something? Quote
Super User islandbass Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 Normally not, but a few anglers and I have a name for a nice sized largie in a small lake. We call her big mama. Not huge by Texas or California standards, but in my neck of the woods, she is pretty big. Caught without a boat, a crankbait and 8# mono. I'll never forget this battle. Quote
piscicidal Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 There's a bass I've seen twice at Loxahatchee Reserve (affectionately called "Lox" by South Florida BR members) that is well into the double digits. I'm pretty sure it's the same bass as I've seen it in the same place and I've never seen another one even as close to this size. I call her the Lox Ness Monster. Quote
Super User webertime Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 There's this LM that lives in certain weed bed less than 50 yards from a really popular beach on Champlain. A fish this big in a body of water this big shouldn't be there... We saw her a few times this past season as she was blowing up on Perch, bullhead, P-Seeds on the surface. She looked to be as thick as a gallon jug of Gatorade. We flipped her bed for hours upon hours this summer and never were able to get her. We started doing "Chuck Norris of Bass" jokes, then it drifted into Osama Bin Laden jokes (can't catch) then we finally settled in on "Al Qaeda Bass". Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 there's a big 4lber (gotta be gettin close to 5lbs now) in a farm pond that is missing the bottom half of its tail. my dad and i have caught at least 5 times combined, we call it Jimmy. Quote
Senkoman12 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 there was a giant largemouth lived under a dock i fished off. as a joke i called him steve Quote
Nosoup4u Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I have on bass that comes to eat when the fish feeder goes off at my pond. I have named her Fontella. Some of you over 50 will get that. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted February 15, 2011 Super User Posted February 15, 2011 I have on bass that comes to eat when the fish feeder goes off at my pond. I have named her Fontella. Some of you over 50 will get that. Did she say to you "Rescue me" ? A-Jay Quote
MNGeorge Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Hasn't happened lately, but several years back there was a nice Smallie everyone in our group caught at least three times one Fall...some of us caught him/her more than once in the same day. Anyway, it had a huge black spot on one side, so we called it "spotty". Quote
Gangley Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 We stocked our office pond with Tigre Bass last year, but it had a good population of sunfish already established. While we were feeding the sunfish the crickets, I noticed that one of the fingerling tigre bass would always be right in the middle of things trying to get all the crickets. He eventually started coming up to the bank when he saw me coming and would almost eat a cricket from between my fingers, but never actually did. I named him Buddy, and I saw him again yesterday for the first time since winter started. He is now about 6-8 inches long and looking good. Quote

flippin and pitchin Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 If i'm going to name a fish, it will be listed as a deduction on my federal tax return. Quote
B A S S E R Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I'll name bucks I get pics of on my trailcams. But have never named a bass... Quote

Hamby Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 No, I don't name any fish. Except when I catch them in a tournament then I call each one "Money"! "Hey GET THE NET...THATS MY MONEY FISH!" (Wish Quantum hadn't taken that commercial off air and off their site. ) I have that as a ringtone! I love that commercial. I call every large bass "big mama." That's as close as i get to naming them. Quote

Thats still a pig lol ;D nice fish Quote
Fishmaster10 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Funny that you and your nephew named your fish one eye joe because a few friends and I named a bass we used to catch all the time one eyed willy Quote
