FishnG1, hands down.


Fishnpyhysician close second.


Is it winterun that has the huge coho with a half silver half gold BC Steel? That one too.....


Who else?

FishNg1 has a that toad in his avatar that could eat some of the other avatar fish.

He gets my vote.

Fishng1 has my vote. I have his picture with that pig as my back screen at work.

I concure! Fishng1 has my vote.

h2o's avatar kick ass..............now if it turned from a skull into a 60 lb. chinook, he'd be giving FishNg1 a run for his money.

I would also have to agree that Fishng1 has the best, I have been at work and had someone come up behind me and see his Avatar and say "Oh my god that is huge". Even those non-fishermen would say his is the best

I got the ugliest one

Mine concurs....FishNg1's is the best!

THIS PISSES ME OFF! If I'd known there was gonna be contest for fish in an avatar I wouldn't have cropped mine!!! DAMN!! DAMN!!DAMN!!

What the hell:

That is a great picture. Really.

I'd enter that print in a photography contest. There's just something about it I like. My compliments to the photographer.

Piper...

Those things are MONSTERS! That king wouldn't have a chance...

Curtis

What can you say about fishNg1's avatar, but I'd like to put a vote in for both of Bob's, the avatar and the headliner. Both are awesome fish!

that one of Fishnpyhysician is nice!

No doubt about it, Fishng1 by a mile.

But I'd vote for Piper for "Best Bait Avatar"

Stlhdh20,
Thanks for the nomination!!! But compared to the slab Steve has, and the Doc's nook, the little coho I have didint stand a chance!!! I was going for that artistic value, yeah thats it artistic. Actually I like them all... the avatar is the closest thing we have to a face with the words!!!
Winterun

I would say Bob's would be the best, only because I am not sure in all of my life of steelheadn if I will ever see a picture of me with that big of a steelhead, but what am I saying? Im not sure about catching a King that big will ever happen either, maybe! All are very nice fish and it is a tough choice. Nice catch guys.

I vote for 4 Salts Avatar.

I have to say that Spawnout's fish is definitely the most expressive. Talk about capturing the moment! That is my vote for the coolest fish in an avatar.

Thanks for the compliment Dan,
The photographer was my fishing buddy, Robert. We couldn't have been more than 15 or 16 at the time.

I still have the hat and the vest... though neither one of them fit anymore...

go figure...

I'd put my money on that Jennifer Parrick gal

Current pictures or do old avatars count??

Here is my old avatar, I had to pull the boat away from the dock to get this pic:



Thats what trips to Mexico are all about!!

Sky Guy

This was the picture that I was going to originally use! That was me in the bottom picture about 25 years ago. This thresher shark weighted over 550 pounds and was caught on rod and reel using 80 pound line. This was when I was commercially fishing for shark.

I can't let Bob get all the votes in this household

Since you guys like some big chinook, I made Bob get me an avatar too!

your're holding the fish out in front of you trying to make it appear bigger...

Cheater....

J/K Thats a Hog!

Fishgal,
WOW!!!
Winterun.

Fishgal,

I hate to say this but, I believe the adipose fin on your fish is bigger that the entire fish in my avatar.

Thanks guys and gals, and to think I was going to change that pic soon!

Fishgal, thats a nice fish too, kinda gets heavy taking the picture doesn't it?

I really like Fishnphycians avatar too.

Now...how about the best Name, lots of cool ones out there too.

Steve

Piper,
You will get alot better spin if you take the head completly off when you plug cut your bait!

what about the steelies......

Giant Chinook, giant silvers, giant steelhead, seen one, you've seen em all. yawn...

I vote for my two ugly freshwater lings. ANYONE WITH ME?!? guys?, guys?. Oh, never mind...

Okay Mike ... we like lings too!

Actually it's one of Corey's faves to catch (and eat!)!

But we lke the saltwater variety ... perhaps I should have put this one up for Corey with lings in mind

Found an old pic of the son and I (He's 26 now). He is holding the small blackmouth that the Ling had grabbed on to and wouldn't let go of.....I netted them both and he spit out the salmon. Sorry for the poor quality of photo. At one time you could see the teeth marks on the salmon.


Same son a few years later.

This is one of my favorite fish photos. No I did not take the picture!

I will have some pretty impressive peacock bass photos to share soon.

NIce lings! BTW, the freshwater burbot taste just about the same as the saltwater variety.

Another ugly.....and I mean the fish guys!



Steve Ng

Hey Piper

Was that your grandfather?

Or maybe it was you in another life You got to admit, there definitely is a strong resemblance . . . both in the faces and in the fish






Cowlitzfisherman

Very funny CFM!

Sorry piper

I just couldn’t help my self

Honorable mention....

Robyns77...

I finally figured it out - Call me rookie

This is my buddy Petera with a 27 lb Chinook out of Campbell river in 1999

Thanks stlhd2o that made my night!
