A guy named David Harwell from Oak Harbor?

He was my wives stepfather who was a salmon/steelhead guy. He had a sled and a drift boat and a saltwater boat. She said he used to do a ton of fishing in the area. Just wondering if anyone ever fished with him.

Your wife? Didn't you just post a pic of your girlfriend who went fishing with you a month ago? Or did her status change recently?

Yeah it changed.

im pretty sure i fished with him on the cascade back in the mid 90's...we pounded some brats on giant prawns i dug up on alki beach...big dude with brown hair?

Yeah big dude with brown hair.

sweet, thats the dude then...

Was he a cool guy? I wish He was still around so I could fish with him.

Wow! from Stam ta Slam. Was the snack you ate on Sunday that bad!

Hey, Blades, bonk any natives lately???

Was he f*cking Ben Affleck? Sorry, wrong thread - BEEP! LOL!

Oh well Blades you ----

I did the editing as you went way over the line--- don't push it by acting innocent. JG

You forgot the comma between ---- and ----, and an exclamation point after ---.

wow. Tough bunch. Hey Blades,never mind all that,hook us up with some pics of your sister in law

I started this thread only
to see if any one ever
fished with the guy or if he
was a member of the
board. I know i am not the
only guy who bonked a
native. It was a mistake
that i made due to lack of
knowledge about
steelhead fishing. I have
asked people or tried to
get in contact with people
to discuss steelhead
fishing but i got no nothing
instead. There are alot of
average joes out there
that dont know [censored] about
steelhead fishing. I made a
mistake and it will not
happen again. I have done
stuff to give back to the
river. How and where i
spend my coin is non of
anyones concern. By the
way she has a 18 year old
sister lol.

....the pathway to forgiveness.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT YOU BONKED A NATIVE, THE PROBLEM IS THAT ITS CLOSED TO NATIVES. THERFORE YOU POACHED A NATIVE

Hey if its legal to bonk one and you do thats your right. But if it illegal and you do it you are a POACHER

I apologize for my lack of education of steelhead fishing, since than I have have educated myself to know what and what not to do, therefore this will not happen again. How many more times muct this come up?

I'd say give him a break guys. Riding the short bus to school everyday he was only influenced by like minded individuals.

We can't all be rocket physioscientologoists.

Let's just let it go. You've all given Blades some lip for it, he apologized and I think he's learned the lesson. Don't make JG or BD lock this thread up....

This is the Dark Side bootsy. "Lightly Moderated, so please, adults only."

LOL. Pretty funny. I'm fine for some joking and targeting some folks, but Blades has expressed his apologies and I think it's pointless to continue to give him crap for it...

Well I read his apologies, he still thinks the problem is that he bonked a native.

Thats not the problem, it that he is a poacher. Should lose his fishing rights and get a fine. I am sorry dosen't cut it.

Whoopsie I am a Poacher, dosen't cut it.

My god. give the guy a freakin break. how many time's or way's do you people have to tell him he F$%$ UP. i think he has gotten the point. why be asses after he said he was sorry and it wont happen again. GET A LIFE....

Dude, we're all sitting around laughing, you're the one that's pissed off.

you seem to be playing the "voice of reason" card quite a bit lately bb....

Well, not to be a asss. But remember that he killed two+ natives on a system that there is no retention of wild fish. Then posted them on the internet.

Now I haven't done as much for the resource as others on here. But I do spend some of my very limited spare time working for the resource. And when some idiot kills fish where its illegal it just pisses me off.

So unless the mods ban me for stating my opinion of this a-hole I will continue to state my opionion.

Sorry dosen't cut it. His actions speak louder than words.

and was issued a firearm and is proud of arresting people from what i have read
while pulling stunts like this
good job reinforcing the negative conotations that LEO has these days

KK, that is one of the bests posts ever.

Blades will continue to get shiat because he has earned it in just about every way. Some of the stuff he has done reminds me of the dad from Family Guy or Steve Carell's character on The Office.

Personally, I'm just pissed at the lack of karma. Poaching natives one week and catching a nearly 20 pound fish the next week (although thank you for releasing it, Blades)... unreal.

Congrats on your marriage though. None of my business but didn't you recently say that she was a relatively new girlfriend? Now, let's at least see her sister.

i concur

Welcome back KK!!!

There are mistakes, and then there are astronomical Phukcupps...ones that are very hard to forgive, and if forgiveness does come, it comes at a price, and only after a long time.

Bonking the chit out of natives on the Skagit is one of the latter...bonking natives on the Skagit on a year where the season is cut in half due to poor returns is the latter... +10.

Fish on...

Todd

Just curious but if he documented it and there is pic. proof do you supposed that a game warden has seen the pics , and given a tickit or is there some profetional curtasy going on there?

Nice, wow i was really confused about that i saw the first post on that thread and then the change I couldn't figure that out really threw me for a loop. So now because he threw off the fuz its ok to be blades again?

So ripping on a dude every time he makes a post fixes/accomplishes anything? You don't have to welcome him back and act like nothing happened. You and I saw it, you can look at the dude from a different angle now...I just wanna know what you think flaming him is going to do....He's got tough skin and doesn't appear to be leaving, if driving him off is your goal...

Look I agree with many of you all. What he did was pretty stupid and then to post pictures of them amplifies it. There's no getting around it. And call it a gigantic mistake, but everyone deserves a second chance...

Dude's been registered here for 18 months and didn't know that keeping wild fish from the Skagit isn't allowed? WTF? After getting spanked for posting pics of brutally handled wild Skagit kings you'd think he would have done some reading in the regs booklet.

since "he is the law", one would think.....

It makes you wonder though.....These were only the pics that got posted, how many others had (or have been) caught by him and his "crew" and not posted.

An apology is one thing, but monetary bribes or pics of the 18 year old could possibly begin to pave the way to silencing the crowd. Bribes, another familiar law enforcement term.

Lightly moderated? True.... Adults Only? Apparently not.

More like the Sponge Bob Square Pants Cartoon on Nick.

It's a shame that Salmonella got grossed out and had to leave. The same culprit is still at it, and going strong. Just wish he would honor his statement LATER,.... as in ..Much LATER!!! Like a good by, and will see you all LATER! A much LATER, Later!!

BTW, a 3 Stooges Forum would be welcomed by most adults, as it would keep the kids busy watching cartoons and poking each other in the eye,....... thereby, sparing the rest of us from having tacks placed in our chairs, spit wads to the back of the neck, or the dreaded electric shock hand shake.

Tough (but not without reason) crowd - I'm not even gonna mention that I use dynamite in the deeper holes Saves time and money on hooks, line, etc. BEEP! LOL!

Hey JLH, you want me to send aunt tilly over to make you batch of cookies while you watch your cartoons? Have you ever made a post where you don't whine? It's pretty conclusive to alot of us that you resemble this gremlin

A lot of us?.... meaning who, you and Butthead? Should I post a poll that illustrates my concerns?

BTW, I am not as defenseless, or as stupid as your targets are. I wish you kids would show more interest in girls, get girl friends, get a little bit and grow up. Puberty is a painful thing to watch.

Just glad I don't have to fish with you brats.

BTW, with the way you kids play,... any cookies that you offer are suspect, as they are probably tainted with urine or feces, and followed by a secret hand shake, and a LOL or BEEP thread, for the few of you to wet your pants over!

It's just about bedtime for another bash Blades Thread. At least I got my protest in before it closes. Nite, Nite kiddies,.... pancakes for breakfast.

JLH i'd argue with you, but then i'd have to change my sig-line to something like i'm a retard....you just have fun being a retard

I'm 42, and even though Beep! LOL! might be stupid, it makes me laugh. And I don't bash anyone, there is no need for it. BEEP! LOL!

Neither did myself, or Salmonella get that memo. Or maybe he did... and that's why he chose to leave.

Oh poor Blades. Poor Bootsy. Poor Salmonella. They need John Lee Snookums to come and be their hero? These guys are big enough boys to hopefully stand up for themselves. What Blades did should be an example to anyone who cares about our resources and wild steelhead. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.


Now. About that 18 year old.....

BY THE WAY.

Lol this thread to a hard right turn from the original post... =)

How long did it take you to come up with that response ? it is pretty lame how we all sit behind our keyboards and judge every one. i agree he made a big mistake, all i am saying is how long is he going to pay for it. O.K flame away on me.

Im down for that. Let see you get me in the water lol...

You may be big boy, but you ain't that big. . . You'd go in the water. . . . . You are a Squid after all. . . . .
