"A-Hole"...your favorite fishing hole, your "go-to" spot; also, anyone who is in your favorite fishing hole when you arrive.

"baitcaster"...a levelwind that has been broken in, one that has been baptised in river water and in rain; it has been christened with egg, schmeg, sand, borax, and oil.

"birdnest"...the inevitable consequence of pairing a beginner with a baitcaster.

"short-lining"...fishing the waters close to you, a method of fishing after you've cut off most of your line because of a birdnest.

"Gomer"...the person to your right in a combat fishing situation.

"Goober"...the person to your left in a combat fishing situation.

"conservationist"...a fisherman who loses a fish that should have been landed.

"Conservationist of the Year"(posthumously)...the person who knocked a once-in-a-lifetime fish off your line with his/her clumsy netting effort.

"sex change"...when you've lost your last di*k float and everything hanging under it. Now you must fish with boobers.

"lucky bast**d"...a person who steps into the hole you have just vacated and immediately has a hook-up.

"unlucky bast**d"...self explanatory.

"humorroids"...a condition often seen during times of stress, emotional turmoil, blown streams, and in between runs. Afflicts those who have difficulty laughing at themselves. Sufferers are only able to pass hard judgments on others. If left untreated, humorroids can develop into full blown assholism.(from Duck Soup for the Soul)

Thanks for the laughs, Todd and others.

Nice responses, everyone!

Dances, don't worry about it. My original definition of a cracker said you need at least a couple, or more, of the characteristics to be a cracker! BTW, my dad wears ten dollar boots from Payless Shoe Source, fake leather with lug soles, over his waders. He's not a cracker (much), but he sure falls down a lot!

Steve, of course you can use any of my stuff. I send you an e-mail for your records.

I think I may be tapped out for now. I'm fishing tomorrow, so maybe some new ones will pop up.

Fish on...

Todd.

I really have nothing to contribute-what the hell's this thread about anyway? But, RT I'll be danged if I'm gonna let you get away with bashing me so much. How many other bash posts directed toward me have you contributed to the board in threads that I don't read? All I have to say is F' you ya emu breast eatin', premy, four foot long ass cracked, sorry excuse for a woman wanna-be! J/K

BTW, gooose-I don't know about any of your fetishes yet, so unfortunately I can't make fun of you. But when I figure one out (hopefully farm animal related) loook ouut! And hey!, e-moo and e-mew were my creations dammit! I claim all copyright rights to them.

Dances Out

Hey Jr., how many of those cracker factors do you have anyway? Just curious.

Thanks for allowing me to use your stuff Todd. And anyone else too - this is great stuff!

Aunty, send me your "maybe can't post" ones, and I'll try my best to decipher em.

And for crying out loud KB, would you quit flirting with me like that?!? I'm a happily married hetro man.

I think I have one that applies right now:

'Irrigated potato plantations' - what we have for rivers right now.

hey todd I too use tenny's instead of my very expensive boots and cannot afford a boat as of yet so what that makes me cracker and a grub

Combat fishing/Meat fishing/Shoulder to shoulder: Reiter and Blue Creek
Bloodhound: The guy coming down river fast after you just landed a fish. Also known as a Gnat. No real threat just annoying.
Pirate: The guy waiting in his rig at the trailhead, usually with friends, who saw you carry fish out the previous day.
Low baller: The guy who undercuts you in a drift.
Cracker low baller: A low baller who casts over your line. Usually the first cast is a bird's nest.
Polite low baller: A low baller who asks first and then progresses to cracker status.
Low ballers almost always appear after you just missed a strike or saw a fish roll in the tail out of your drift.
Chest wader: Literally out to his chest. One more step and he is a Bob. No offense to guys really named Bob. Often or eventually a low baller.
The socialite: Not a person for a mile in either direction but he has to fish within feet of you.
Swisher: Sets the hook on every bump. Swish, swish, swish.
Officer friendly: The guy who sits in the parking lot and wants to know "exactly" where you caught that fish.
Spinner: First time rowing.
Tester: The sled that keeps coming by every half hour. He must be out testing his motor.
Low life: Tosser of beer cans, plastic bags and Styrofoam containers.
Dreamer: Me when I am not fishing.
