Fishinislife,
I just wanted to tell you again what a great job you did on this post. Mike / Aaron, this website is a staple in my daily life and has enhanced NW fishing for everyone. You both should be commended on your hard work and dedication to this site.
How's that???
WOW! It does sound a lot like sucking up doesn't it? I guess there was one too many totties involved when I made the post. MY BAD!
However, I made the post so I'm sticking to it. And, I'm with you. This is a great site.
Where you go is less important than how you get there.

I'm afraid I have to watch from the sidelines being as we are giving away prizes. A good enough excuse to remain neutral, right?
This is absolutely the funnest thing to come out of this site in years. :-)

A) BODOFISH
B) EASTSIDE REDNECK
C) EASY LIMITS
Even though, I am bit too late for this contest but I'd still share my story with you guys...
I choose SILENT ANGLER because I am born deaf and use American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate with my deaf fellows. Unfortunately I can't even prounce a right word in voice so I have to communicate with hearing people via writing.
Some anglers enjoy fishing with me because I never make a noise or able to tell a lame and long story. For those anglers like to talk long and strong might think I am too quiet for them. Fortunately, it is when I am totally in the "zone." The best thing is that the fish will never know who is throwing a lure ( white, black, or handicapped
person, etx.)
That's VERY cool Silent Angler...
You've got my vote for "Most Inpirational Angler". I'm sick and tired of people complaining about how bad they have it. I have a lot of respect and admiration for people, like yourself, that have overcome adversity and live a productive life. You and I would make a great fishing team, cause I don't talk at all when I'm fishing. I'd love to fish with you sometime.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Ditto!

Hey Mike:
Not sure if you're aware, we've got one of our own felts_jf currently deployed overseas in Krygystan. I PM'd him because I saw he was sitting in a plane, in uniform and was wondering what he did.
Come to find out, he'll be back in the States in 2 months (McChord AFB). He mentioned to me he was shopping for a boat and can't wait to hit the lakes again with his wife.
Not sure how this contest is going to turn out, but I'd like to pass on any prize (s) over to Jason as a VERY small "Thank You" for his service and sacrifice to our Country. If nothing else, it'll help him get a few lures and a Washingtonlakes.com hat or something.
We all need to remember that they're are men and women VOLUNTEERS still deployed overseas sticking their neck out everyday to keep us safe here at home.
Let's all keep Jason Felts in our prayers for a safe return home to his wife and family.
Thanks Mike!!

I'm with bassackwards on this. I just got out of the military in May after 8yrs and have complete a great deal of respect for the guys doing their time serving our great nation. Every little bit of thanks goes a long way. Unfortunately, we take a LOT of flack for the decisions of our Commander-in-Chief when we are lawfully ordered to conduct our business whenever or wherever we do it. Best of luck and thank you to all of our members currently in uniform.

Now for my votes

Indeed, thanks to all of our troups. Thanks to them fighting for our behalf, because without them, we probably wouldn't have this beautiful country we call America. They do a job I cannot imagine doing, and make it possible for me to enjoy the life I have. I have the utmost respect for all of them. God Bless!

Hey fish4brains, thanks for the vote, but what do you mean by "It's funny that beerman1981 doesn't trigger spell check.hmmmm meant to win?" I don't quite get it. Not a biggy, just curious. Peace!

I think what he meant was...if you type in "beerman1981", the computer doesn't see anything wrong with the spelling....so it's DESTINY man. Try typing in "bassackwards"....hold on to your keyboard, your computer's gonna make a farting sound....THAT'S what he meant, I think.

I'm pretty sure that I am right on. JT26 voted for 3 people but they are all from the same group. I have asked him to change it as soon as he can. Otherwise I'm not counting any of his votes. Other than that if you see that I have made a mistake just let me know and I will correct it. Thanks brutha.
