Title: what does your name mean?
Post by: ol crawdad on Jun 01, 2005, 10:38 AM
one of the things I enjoy is all of the different names that people use, and I was curious on how you chose your name.  some seem obvious.  others can have many interpretations.  some are baffling.  for mine, my favorite lure for years was a Rapala #13 Floating Husky in crawdad color, and when the Husky Jerks came out, my 2 favorite colors were the crawdad, and the orange crawdad, (still are), and then Rapala stopped making them, so I went to EBAY, set up an account, and started buying them there.  My screen name was ol crawdad, and when I discovered IS and MFF, my nickmane that my friends call me was taken (HOSS), so I just used the EBAY name.  Let's hear some stories...

Grump.....started out as grumpymoe.....most of the members that i have met from Iceshanty and MFF just simply call me Grump......one of my all-time favourite movies was Grumpy Old Men.....and the scene with Walter Matthau pushing Jack Lemon who was sitting in the shanty toward open water still kills me....so when the time came to pick a handle.....its was a no brainer.....i actually kinda like it.....Grump ;D

Post by: MikeThePike on Jun 01, 2005, 11:21 AM
A nickname given to me by PikePopper and another of my fishing buddies. I hated it at first but it stuck. Someone suggest MikeTheMusky on the IS board but it just doesn't have the same ring to it, even though my fihsing buddy at work calls me it from time to time.

I used it first on IS and carried it over to MFF.  The name came from the greatest event that has happened to me to date - In December 2004 I became a grandfather for the first time and my wife & I decided we wanted our granddaughter to call us Nanny & POPPY.  Can't wait to take her fishing.

Title: Re: what does your name mean?
Post by: Water Wolf on Jun 01, 2005, 08:37 PM
 Neat subject, I was also wondering about the meaning of the names on here.
 Mine is the English translation of the northern pike's scientific name. Esox lucius means
water wolf.
 I chose this because the northern pike was the very first fish that I ever caught, and since then I am hooked for life on this great sport of fishing.  Pike are one of the most wide spread fish in my area, and I can usually count on them to bite. They alway give a good fight large or small, and are my favorate to eat.
 In short I like pike. ;D :)

I'm always being outfished - by a buddy, either of my boys, the guy in the next boat, or the one down the shore, despite using the same gear and the same bait.  Maybe my skin drips that L-serine chemical fish hate, I don't know, but that's my lament!  So I thought of calling myself Monophil's-lament, but that sounded too whiney, so I became just monophil.

awsome thread. just read the whole thing form the begining.

mine is for my current location and favorite fish to go after. the location is also the best i have found yet. there is still a lot of time for somewere/something else to to take the title of favorite. lots of places and water to go and fish left.
 
i carried the name over from IS this year. when i chose it the decision was between adkbrookie and pablo. pablo is my name that i chose for spanish. has now become the name i hear most often durring a typical day.

brookies beat spanish class any day.

i like fishit as a name.

one of the things I enjoy is all of the different names that people use, and I was curious on how you chose your name.  some seem obvious.  others can have many interpretations.  some are baffling.  for mine, my favorite lure for years was a Rapala #13 Floating Husky in crawdad color, and when the Husky Jerks came out, my 2 favorite colors were the crawdad, and the orange crawdad, (still are), and then Rapala stopped making them, so I went to EBAY, set up an account, and started buying them there.  My screen name was ol crawdad, and when I discovered IS and MFF, my nickmane that my friends call me was taken (HOSS), so I just used the EBAY name.  Let's hear some stories...

Although it could be construed as having something to do with chasing women (lol)... That's not actually the case. All fish are a little slimy, but my favorites to catch are pike and musky, which seem a little slimier than most. Thus the handle slimechaser!

The name is from the movie (boatniks) but your going to have to be over  atleast 40 to remember that movie.  My kids would try to steer the boat just as the boatniks did and that means everyone out of the water as we tried to troll. #13 was just the luck I'd  have with my girlfriend (now my wife for 24 yrs) as I ducked every cast she made fishing for musky/bass yet always got smacked with them lures no matter  how low I ducked.   Fixed that years ago!

Mine is from my days of RC Boat racing . There were some rule changes and things coming up to vote on and you had to be a club to get a vote. A bunch of us from Maine needed to form a club real quick . We all ran gas boats not nitro so we came up with GasBlasters of Maine . I just took it from that and use it as an online name about everywhere. I have also been known to raise a stink every now and then .  ;D ;D 


Mine has to do with what I have to look for when ordering my fishing gear....  The Left Handed Model... ;D   The Lefty comes from college.  There where 10 Mikes that lived in my building, so we all got nicknames,  my roommate thought it strange to use the left hand so he started an organization against me called P.A.L. -- People against Lefty.

This is a great thread.  We've got a lot of creative people here.  I really enjoyed learning what everyones' username means to them.  I guess it's my turn to spill the beans... I am a former member of the Tuba section of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band. 

That image that just popped in your head, the chubby 5th grader with the coke-bottle glasses, abolish it from your mind.  In this case, nothing could be farther from reality.

The UW Tubas are widely known as The Rhinos.  Why, you ask?  Questionable attitudes, horrid smells, big horns, and the ability to drink enough to choke a rhino probably all contribute to the label.  So I am an exrhino, abbreviated for my username as xrhino.  Some pics...

Me at a rehearsal before the Copper Bowl.  While chicks may dig blaze orange (see avatar), I can assure you they do not dig a braided goatee.  It did however, get me on all three local newscasts and ESPN.
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c77/Xrhino/Braid.jpg)

The Rhinos ALWAYS lead the band, just as God intended.  Here are the Rhinos leading the band onto the field at the Rose Bowl.
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c77/Xrhino/RoseCrank.jpg)

Lastly, and most importantly, our beer.  Rhino Brau.  Brewed in 120 case batches by a local microbrewery.

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: yes bwalleye it is the usually smallest fin located on the back of most trout.not sure about the fatty answer.Ill have to research that one.I used to love making the adipose when mounting trout (taxidermist).I would make them from scratch with epoxy as the real adipose would shrivell up and shrink almost to nothing when the fish mount was dry.very oiley also.I guess,hence the fat in the adipose.So....now the real question of the day........did bwalleye know this or did he grab the nearest dictionary?? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Flapper
Crapper
Trapper
Snapper
Flipper
Tripper
Skeeter
Whacker
Smacker
Slapper

and finally, Skipper. This nickname stuck because I always ended up controlling the boat. It didn't matter who owned the boat, I always end up in the "captains seat". When they get sick of being in the structure, or too far away, or they cant find it at all, they say "Skipper, drive the dang boat!!!".

I love football and love the fact I'm on the black shirt defense (mainly cause offense is for chicks and quarterbacks are just glorified punters). I used the name bshirtd  (black shirt defense) cause i think spelling the whole thing out was to many characters.

     My family always called me that and a few of my friends. My other nickname is Uncle Shawn, I think because I shoot straight about things and I'm always helpful to friends. Plus I do have a few nieces and nephews. Shawner is the name most know me by though, so that's what I go by.

I can't take credit for my name, my mom gave it to me over 38 years ago. The good thing about it is that I don't usually get told " that names been taken, please try again" when I join things like this ;D It's pronounced Ray-Dean, which is why most people call me Ray, for short.

Post by: Water Wolf on Oct 12, 2006, 09:19 PM
Nice photos guys. :)

I will also post again why I chose my name.

My name is the English translation of the northern pike's scientific name.
Esox lucius means water wolf.
 I chose this because the northern pike was the very first fish that I ever caught, and since then I am hooked for life on this great sport of fishing.  Pike are one of the most wide spread fish in my area, and I can usually count on them to bite. They alway give a good fight large or small, and are my favorate to eat.
 In short I like pike. 8) ;D

It means a buck that lives in a swamp that "stirs" my imagination. Ok, no, not really. It is just a name I started using while playing Deer Hunter 4 and it is unique enough too that no one else uses that name. One thing I cannot stand is to be the "next" person in line with a name like swampbuckster07 or swampbuckter35465. It annoys me. My old handle was Aerofish. A cross between the band Aerosmith and fishing, two things  enjoyed quite a bit. Then all of a sudden, I was going to new sites and Aerofish was already taken. BUT I MADE THAT NAME UP!! So I quit using that name. So if I see any swampbuckster02's around here, S%&## gonna hit the fan!!!! :cursing: Ok, just kidding! ;D

I used it first on IS and carried it over to MFF.  The name came from the greatest event that has happened to me to date - In December 2004 I became a grandfather for the first time and my wife & I decided we wanted our granddaughter to call us Nanny & POPPY.  Can't wait to take her fishing.

I'm a new "Poppy" too, but Poppy already took that name - so went with my gmail name first name, middle & last initials, and 4 because I'm the fourth - IV.  I wish someone would leave me the kind of money that typically goes along with a roman numeral after your name!!!!!

If any is feeling generous, go ahead and put me in your will :)

While in the Police Academy, the unarmed defense instructor thought it would be funny to have the biggest guy in the class pair up with me (I'm only 5' 3" tall) for self defense training.  The other cadet tried a forward kick to knock me down; he kicked with great force, I countered,  and he proceeded to fall on his @$$  :o. 

The next words out of the instructor's mouth were, ' That was like trying to kick over a fireplug!"  The name stuck.

I'm a cop. One of those really bad cops. And i don't even have a good cop as a partner to offset my bad cop personality like you see in the movies.

OK, i lied. The first time i met up with a group of members from my local fishing site for an ice fishing outing, i was given that nickname by a now long time friend. Apparently some of the guys he was fishing with were doing something unlawful in their shanties and got a little paranoid when i showed up.  :whistling: So my buddy played off that and introduced me as Trooper Bri to those guys. We finally let them off the hook a couple hours later.

It's one of my favorite fishing memories actually. Meeting a perfect stranger on the ice, messing with his friends, and becoming good friends over the years.

My nickname came from 2 things that I love the most after my 2 daughters.

Seeing that Salmon trolling Lake Ontario is my favorite fishing,
and the Rebel part comes into play with the southern blood that was givin' to me by my Mom.
I love salmon fishing, and love my southern heritage, therefore...I am SalmonRebel. 8)

Well, I worked at L-Kens in Colonie. This is a landmark to all who know of what things are. One day my buddy(the owner of the bus.) found a boat he thought I should grab n restore. I rolled up to the place of bussiness on the nose of the boat like I owned the town !!! Fresh seafood everyday and the history behind this place is unimaginable !!! Ordinary people just can't understand the logic!!!

When I started fishing bass tournaments, I picked a bait to learn that everyone else was not using. I was very successful with a Zoom Fluke. In that club when you won money you had to explain how you did it and with what. Soon everyone called me Flukeman, hence, the handle.

well my boyfriends name is chrisTOPHER... and when we first started dating we went shopping at Dick's sporting goods so he could get some fishing stuff... while I was browsing, I saw a pink Shakespear Ladyfish pole/reel combo... He asked me out on a fishing trip, but I said, "Sorry, I can't go because I don't have a pink fishing pole like the one at Dick's..."

He came to pick me up to take me fishing with the pink pole and a fishing hat for me that says, " As a matter of fact, I DO fish like a girl"

So Topher is my Fishing Buddy  :-*
