Check this thing out, off my home river known for native red bands in the 12-16" range. This unicorn fell victim to a big brass Kastmaster in some heavy chop. I think it was planning on a native bronze colored squawfish for dinner & got a mouthful of steel instead. Kinda a shame, because if...

This place probably deserves its own thread 😎 Agree, it would have been a cool place to hang out. Looks like it was designed to drain a sporting guys paycheck as they would cash them there....🤕 Restaurant & bar, pool tables guns and ammo fishing gear. Even a barber shop! Think I was at the...

I remember some big trout swimming around in a pond @ Ben Paris

Funny now that I think about it but Dad didn't that much in Sears branded fishing gear. He must have got his at Warshalls or Ben Paris.

HA! I had a buddy belly crawl up to a couple of Canadian honkers and blast them with his Remington model 1100 12 gauge, now that's in a part of Renton that is Fairwood GC now.. Honker it's what's for DINNER! A "Karen" called him in to Fish & Game this is like 1978. A gamie found him & said...

I just went all out and got this from Rio. Ambassador Phil Rowley Lake Series Fly Line | RIO Products https://share.google/msl8fr8qIrhNxYl3T

He weed whacked around it for the photo op. A dwarf could sunbath on that front deck.

Nice stories here. My Dad's job was evaluating the broken tools that were returned to his Seattle store. It must have been for information to the higher ups as the customer was going to get a new tool regardless. Or as I think about it the larger items might be repaired & send back out to...

Yup, I've seen them too. There usually surrounded by tall grass

Never got into the Toughskins, always wore the Levi 501. Think I got a few pairs of those high speed Keds sneakers at Sears thou...

Was the Amazon of its day. I grew up in Seattle and my Dad worked there as I was growing up, we were frequent visitors to the big store on 1st & Lander. Things I remember.....the wish book, a Christmas sales book that came out probably in September to get the kids all wound up. The fishing &...

That blonde kid started horse whipping that poor eel from side to side as soon as it cleared water the hook in its nose stayed put. He must have seen them in action before

Playing around with color combinations on a size 8 CZ Mini jig bead head soft hackle. Thinking a might be a decent searching pattern under an indicator on a windy day, or stripped on a sink tip

HA! Brings to mind a somewhat similar experience from years ago. Was on the big Island having a beach day, was swimming around in some rather large tide pools, the wife was lounging in the sand. Some long haired blonde kid calls out "Mr can you help me for a minute?" So I swim over to the...

Ever have a Anadromous fish try to extract a pound of flesh off you? I've seen a few examples in my years fishing, one spring Chinook one winter Steelhead. Now, how about you? c/22

That's insane on the 2x catches, but I think your reasoning on fish psychology is sound. As usual, I've got a story for you. This one is concerning a vengeful spring Chinook. I'll start my own thread on it as curious if others have had the same type reaction.

I remember walking into that REI, I can still smell the creosote

My Dad got it @ an Army surplus store back in his hiking days and used it many years before I started packing it in. I remember one trip in 1975 took it into Eightmile lake up off of the Icicle Creek Road Caught a lunker Mackinaw on a deep trolled red-headed triple teaser. And also caught a...

Back in the day I carried one of these WW2 survival rafts. Had a pair of waterproof ping pong paddles for propulsion. Total weight was 10.5 lbs. I'd imagine things have improved sense 1980.

Man that's gladiatorial thinking Stoner. That old sentimental stick is in semi retirement 😕
