Screen names. Some are really odd, some are really clever, some are obvious and some are generic.
Striperjim was easy, not too clever, nor creative, pretty generic.
I've always been curious about the names fishermen (women) take, or have been given. Anyone have any stories on their member names or selections?
Some are very cool I bet. thumbsup.gif

Re: Screen names

It never hurts to relive these types of posts....

Mine is simple for anyone familuare with the history of our beloved striper...

The original scientific name for the striped one was Roccus saxatillis...

then some smart a** scientist discovered that there was a fish in another country that bore the same name and they changed it to a much less noble.. Morone saxatillis..

Re: Screen names

There's a story with my name as well. Dirt Chicken.... We used to live in Montana and they have different names for things. A tamarack tree is called a larch and a brook is a "crick". Dirt chicken is the same as a red neck. The kids call me DC for short too. So there you have it!
