Paulus Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 WAIT I THOUGHT NATE WAS A EXPERT WITH TONS OF HOURS ON THE WATER he sould be posting or CATCHING fish right now, I know the real steelheaders are.... LETS SEE YOUR PICS just my 2cents worth Dave He's still young. Talented (and published), but young. He's very good at hanging over your shoulder if he thinks you've got the best spot, which is the mark of a young fisherman - "outta my way, cause I gotta catch 'em all NOW!" He and his buddies still owe me a pic from last year, so I'm a little bitter. Now, THAT was a pic I'd like to see posted p.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nater Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Ya I guess your right I should be posting pictures of every single fish so that I can come to a board mostly full of people who have not the slightest idea on how to steelhead and get my ego boost to reassure myself that im good at fishing. I think it's pathetic that at 30+ years old you feel that you have to certify your skills by posting pictures of 3lb fish 6 different angles and then challenge a 17 year old who should be looking for an ego boost to say he isn't catching fish because he isn't posting pictures. As far as Paulus' statement it was the BEAVER cleary myself and the other 8931572395 people must have greased you out...considering in the picture we can clearly see that there is plenty of space between us. But your right IM an idiot Nate Didnt see this till today as I was down in the states hammering on BIG steelhead with my buddies...here's a couple pictures of many fish. I'd like my hero cookie please Edited October 22, 2007 by Nater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nice fish Solo! I always enjoy your reports! I don't get why some folks insist on insulting others, while off handedly promoting themselves? Nater, perhaps you should have posted your own thread to show us your catch? You obviously wanted us to see it! They are really only fish, whether your obsessed with them or not, they are just fish! Keep'em comin Solo! Your a class act and I'm sure if a pole was taken as to who the members here would like to fish with, you'd be near or at the top! It's just a fish for cryin out loud!

Nater Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) As if I could care less that you guys saw I caught fish...I'd rather keep everythign underwraps then showing the loogan circus where the fish are on. I love how Dmasse acts like a 2 yr old and everyone here comes running to protect him. I suppose you have to protect your own and incase your interested DMASSE I fish 7 days a week...I guess we wouldn't call that logging time on the water?

HH Thank's HH, although it's not really an insult. If it was directed at me from one of my peers, well then, different story. Now, I'm going to add some thoughts to this post 'cause I have a feeling that it's not going to die. I've been a member of this board for a few years, but became a really active participent less than a year ago. Why? Well, last year there was a "somewhat" similar thread except it was myself directing the comments towards Gerritt. I don't think my comments were too harsh, but nevertheless I had an epiphany of sorts and realized that whether I was right or I was wrong was irrelevant. The fact was I was acting like a jackass . I made up my mind to not be so condescending and attempt to become a more active member. Why? Is it because I "like to have my ego stroked" or need a "hero cookie"? No, it's simply because it's fun and no other reason. I'm in front of this stinkin' computer here at work for 2 separate 16 hour shifts and let me tell you if it wasn't for OFC I'd be bored silly. (I have a fairly stress free job ) I still only post a fraction of the fishing I actually do, and with the exception of extremely remote areas or fly-ins you still won't see me name a location.... I've also experienced criticism from various people because of some of my posts. I've learned to shrug it off. Perhaps Freud might speculate that such a critical person is entirely too convinced of his own place in the universe and more specifically that perhaps his entire sense of self worth is wrapped up in his ability to be a good angler. In the words of Seinfeld that is "Quite lame!" Me? I have nothing to prove to anybody and will continue to post on this board as I see fit. cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nothing you say here will have ANY bearing on the relationships Mike has made on OFC he is a WELL respected member on this board well before you came on with your 2nd post..... I was on the river the day Nate was... and HE is one of the reasons I feel the way I do about the so called purists.. he was there with 4-5 other guys all posing for the camera when fighting a fish..and I mean posing like he was a darn supermodel... they were tromping up and down the river screwing up other people drifts.. in general a PITA... with all his years of experiance... he has alot to learn in the way of respect... Ohhh yeah and BTW... That really is me in the background.. laughing my ass off at him, as others give him the finger... saw it all day long from numerous anglers... Gerritt.

Nater Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Gerrit how many bows did you catch that day? 4 MAYBE? Face the facts you got whooped by a 17 yr old. I love the "stay strong" as a group mentality here what a joke. Me and oen other guy were there and I have a whopping total of 6 pictures from that day. I guess that makes Mike and I on the same level as supermodels along with you?

Roy Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Nate, you really must mature a little. You're probably very good at what you do but hey, you're too good for us. Go spin your center pin.....You've insulted enough people already. We're not that kind of a family Bud. We look after each other. Good luck ambushing fish in 20 foot wide tribs trying to get up the rivers to spawn. Sorry Nate, that's how I feel. Oh BTW your accolades might want to step down also.
