[Dr.Bob]

Hello,

My name is Bob and I am a Fishaholic .

I am 44 years old and live on a hobby farm on Da Range.? I have 2 children who are the light of my life.? ?Lizzy is 8 and Jake is 11.? They both love to fish with dad and we do lots of fishing, camping and soon hunting together.

My favorite place in the world is on Basswood Lake in the BWCA.? It is heaven on earth to me.

I will start hitting other places now that I have purchased a bigger boat with a 40 hp.? Basswood has kept me limited to 25 hp up until now.? I bought the bigger rig so we can more safely fish places like Upper Red, LOW and Mille Lacs.

I am addicted to fishing forums, and also have a penchant for barely pop.

Oh yea, I am working on a long over due divorce and my outdoor time has increased greatly and will continue to do so .

I have a daughter 28 a son 22 both good kids.  I love to fish, restore old tractors do some wood working.  My latest project is working on our 40 acres a half mile from Red Lake.  The electricity is going into the property soon.  Trails are being developed...it is great fun.  I was a Kawasaki and Ski Doo dealer for ten years, the past twenty years I have been working with the mentally handicapped and also obtaining and developing homes for this population.  I live on the outskirts of Wadena on 16 acres.  I enjoy going out for coffee with the guys almost every morning.  I also enjoy having a whiskey or two!!!!

[Outdoors Junkie]

I will be 33 in June.  I have been married for 10 years.  I have four wonderful kids (2 boys & 2 girls) ages 10, 7, 3, 1.  I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, softball, golf...just about anything out doors.  My family owns 2 cabins on URL (it's one of my favorite places to spend time).  My boys are tagging along on my duck and pheasant hunts .  They can't wait to upgrade from their bb guns.  I live in Owatonna, grew up in Isanti, attended college in Winona.  I work for Midwest Wireless.  I like a capt'n cokes now and again (or again and again)!

[GRIZ]

Hi I'm GRIZ

Been going through a divorce for last few yrs. I have a couple kids daughter (15) and a boy (3). I love the outdoors trappin, hunting or fishing with my biggest passion being trapping. If it was legal I'd snare deer and trap fish. My reasoning is it'd be a bigger challenge. Ya couldn't get by with getting within shooting range or casting distance. You'd have to get to the exact few inches where the critter is going to be. A few other things I enjoy doing are digging roots e.g. ginseng, have never dug mushrooms but would like to do that sometime.

[miller]

I'm 41 with 3 kids, we live in Mankato Mn. I enjoy fishing and everything outdoors and found this website from a link on another site.

I have a few friends that i'll tell about the site.

[rgfleck]

39 nand happily married with 4 kids, love to take the kids out fishing and walking in the woods.

I work in Minneapolis as a technician for a phone company, looking for a different job though.

I really enjoy this site, I am a member of a few other webistes and this seems to be one of the best, it's in my favorites now.

[Lee Borgersen]

I'm Lee Borgersen and will be 61 yrs old in June. Married for 41 yrs, 8 months, and 1 day so far. Have two sons 32 & 36 along with one cat named Max. I've been elected to the sites pro staff and hope to contribute some interesting information. I live in IL and I'm a full time fishing guide in S/E WI.

So far the only member from this site that I've had the pleasure to meet in person was Dr. Bob when up on Basswood Lake. Every year I head up to the BWCA for a 3 week stay. For me it's a very sad moment when my annual Basswood pilgrimage comes to an end. So, I always remove hat, look back at Basswood Lake, bow my head and thank The Lord for the wilderness experience. Then I wipe that one big tear from my cheek and head for home till next year.

 I love the state of MN and wish I could be a resident instead of just a wannabe. All of my vacation time for the last 30 yrs has been spent in the Ely, MN area and I've established a lot of great friendships in the area. One of my favorite moments is when a client takes the time at days end to tell me the he's learned a lot on his guided trip.

A week at my buddies cabin on Burntside in mid-September.? Catching crappies up the Dead River,?a cold Schmidt, taking saunas, and eating like kings.

Sitting in a fish house on Red Lake with good friends, a cold Schmidt, and a couple of nice slabs (soon to be walleyes) to fry up for dinner.

[Fawkinnae]

I'm still laughing about smallmouthguide's handy vocabulary lesson.

Today's word from the Chicago Public School System:
      OMELETTE
      Let's use it in a sentence:

      "I should pop yo ass fo what you jus did, but omelette dis one slide"

Fawkinnae - I'm Doug. I live in Maple Grove, married two kids, Son is a sophmore in college at University of Wyoming, daughter is a junior at Wayzata.  I think I'm 53. Grew up in Fridley. Spent lots of time as a kid hunting, fishing, trapping and exploring on Rice Creek and the Mississippi River.  More of the same on my grandparents farm in Corcoran. Survived the great Fridley tornado of 1965 and the San Francisco earthquake of 1989.  I've been a designer for about  30 years now.  Mainly graphic design and landscape architecture. I'm interested in doing more design related to the hunting, fishing and outdoors industries.

I love to go fishing.
