Were did you get your Handle?

[shaggydog]

My son had a really good dog, just a mutt named Shaggy. I always called him Shaggydog. Now, Belle the Hell Dog is pretty shaggy herself, so Shaggydog. Love them doggies.

This is too easy. when I was in my 20's, everywhere I went I left a path of destruction and chaos so hurricane Rob has always fit me nicely.

[Tortuga]

My best buddy in high school...and for life...hung the nickname 'The Turtle' on me back in the day because he said I was too slow getting into his wild haired schemes...and he knew it pizzed me off. Got the last boat 20 years ago..kids said it needed a name instead of just numbers.. They knew the story and voted to name it The Turtle... in honor of my late best friend...but I still hated it and it sounded like a crappy name for such a beautiful boat so we had another 'vote' and changed it to Tortuga...same thing, but in my second language..LOL

[ComeFrom?]

As with the old Ford commercial, "The Quality Went In Before The Name Went On!" That's how. CF?

Never operated a stumpgrinder in my life.

I've operated a few, and if it is a manual stumpgrinder....you better be in shape! Fun only for the first few minutes, but can wear out even the biggest guy.

My handle comes from my 15+ years kayaking (yak), and obssesion for fishing (fin addict). As many of you may also think, fishing is probably the biggest addiction (money wise) that anyone can have. Crack, heroin, coke, weed don't stand a chance compared to fishing!!!!

Fish on brothers, fish on!

[I Fall In]

I earned it at a young age. Have been practicing it for years. I have a nack for finding drop-offs while pulling a boat over shallow flats.

[railbird]

I grew up around fishing and there always seemed to be a few old timers hanging around the dock or ramp when we would go fishing. My dad would call them railbirds. After i built my tower, i kinda felt like the birds you see around just sitting and waiting for some action. It was the first thing that came to mind when i decided to going the forum.

[Number_Five]

Buddy got a kick outa calling me Johnny # five in a high squeaky voice and laugh hysterically at himself...other friends chimed in...now I'm #5 forever, even on 2cool!
