I recently joined this website and am unsure if this is the right place to put this. I have had two members of this website call me inbred. I am not inbred, I recently moved here after fishing many years in the great state of Louisiana. In my home state I would fish and fish and put my pictures on our website and everyone was real nice and we did not attack each other and especially not call each other inbreds. I dont know if you know anything about us down south WE DONT TAKE CALLING EACH OTHER INBRED lightly. That is a insult like no ones business. dont call me inbred please I just want to learn fishing here in the beautiful state of Washington.

for the record, just because i said Dueling Banjos and a 53 Martin in one sentence, doesnt mean im saying you are inbred...

i HAVE a 53 Martin 000

i CAN play Dueling Banjos...

have a nice day...

QE in any case your in the right place. many here are inbred. they prefer to fish the area called Forks Wa.

I just went on the internet and looked at forks,wa. is this place far from the cowlitz river? I fish only the cowlitz right now and a couple local lakes. All the lakes dont have any bass worth fishing for. The cowlitz river has alot of steelhead trout to catch. Each time I go I see at least 5 of these bright fish caught and ever since i caught mine i am in love with them. They taste so good.

Thank you redhook i figured you were being a inbred to me i guess not. check your messages.

QE,

This forum is an eclectic segment of PNW society. You'll get the "Seattle freeze" and you get insulted. In fact, some of the folks here will talk to you in ways that make you sure you don't want them to meet your family, and they'll be the same folks that will go 100 miles out of their way to give you a hand if you need it. This place is home to some of the best folks you could hope to meet, even though the majority are social misfits. We're fishermen after all. If one of us calls you a reprobate, consider it an offhand compliment. And for some reason, we do make fun of people from the southern states. I have a tarheel friend from N. Carolina who I've known for nearly 30 years and just two years ago he pointed out to me that the majority of PNWerners are downright insulting to tarheels. First time I ever knew he took it personally.

We do have to keep with expectations. After all it took considerable effort from some participants for this BB to become known in the BB world as the home of the rude, crude, & lewd.

the only thing proven is your not allowed on the "big boy" rides at Disney Land, spade...

"Insensitive" is a gross understatement of many who post here regularly, and if you are going to stay, QE, you are going to have to figure out who's who in this zoo.
There are many very good fishermen here.
There are also some of the very good fishermen who are jerks through and through.
You have to have a thick hide, and when needed a sharp tongue or the bastards will bury you.
Buck up!
Use PM's to those you find who will try to help you.
One thing's for sure......this place ain't gonna change.....hasn't since I joined a while ago anyway.

Pachyderms do well around here. The thin-skinned don't last too long.

i went fishing today...

Documenting........
FP owes me a keyboard.
Fkr.

So, do you like gladiator movies?

Ah shucks QE, inbred is pretty mild around here. Insulting here is a high art. You'll see real blood baths breakout for far less than that.
Just sharpen up your elbows. You'll love this hot bed of cretins

Lots of inbreds on this side of the mountains--- We call them Democrats.

Where's Dan when you need him??

Yoooo Hooooo......Major Zing??

Going by the title- is this the right place? I would answer yes but I suggest it may still not be the right place for you, "member friendliness" is an oxymoron after all, particularly if you are new.


You just have to find a chair to call your own and sometimes that requires a little keyboard fisticuffs.


People here will come up with insults worse than calling YOU names: Boats, wives, moms, kids, cats... they are all fair game.

QE if you want to go Bass fishn Silver lake Cowlitz county is one of the best in western wash.

QE, find swafford pond above mayfield dam. it's got all the hillbilly inbred hick, warm water trash fish you maybe looking for.

Haha awesome.

Inbred?

Fish the Cow check

Hair Check

We need to see your tooth or teeth and know if you live in Lewis county or not for final determination ?


You ain't in La anymore conform or be cast out.

Yep, it's pretty funny isn't it - kind of like hiding in a car. When you're behind a keyboard, or a steering wheel, lots of people say some pretty brave stuff. If they were standing next to you in the grocery store line you bet your arse they wou'dn't say the same stuff. Just take it with a grain of salt. The internet allows people to get away with things they don't have the balls for in real life.

It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
'cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time


---Was that RH tellin' stories again?

QE I enjoy slinging insults as much as anyone but every person I've met from this BB, even the ones that I've insulted or vice versa are great folks.

Take it all in stride and you'll do fine. There are, without a doubt, some fantastic fishermen here.

I completely agree with each of these statements.

dude, have you met me before.....how did you know my mom has a basement

QE, I don't make excuses for some of the more extreme behavior here, I find it a fair bit childish and unedifying to the fishing community, but there are many good folk that hang out and have great information to share.

You're from the South, the South is friendlier by and large in my experience. You just won't find that Southern hospitality here in Washington, the grey skies make us mean. This isn't Louisiana, don't try to make it so.

I'll give you an opinion once I think you are real, QE.

For now, I just assume you are 'Big Jim' and couldn't stick to your word when you said you were leaving the forum.

I had a hunch it was a possibility

Bass are not worth fishing for--- you now have access to salmon, steelhead and trout

I agree...lots of smartarsses here. But it is only cyberspace.

I read where Seattle is one of the most educated cities in the country. Makes you wonder. Anyway's you can get upset as I have and then lurk a while and then realize it is not big deal.
It is just cyberspace.

BUT your picture in ur avatar is pretty hilarious. You can do what I do and not post pics and then others would not make a comment on your appearance.

Good luck. I like you.

Is a Bass not on the taist good?

Moving this one.......to the Darkside...where it belongs.

Keep the crap off the mainboard. Y'all been warned.

Eye is seriously starting to twitch.

I wonder if it would go away if I deleted about 30 accounts on this board...

Don't drag me into this...


Time for the Good Reverend to perform some exorcisms?...

I should make you mod.

If you delete yourself, it would only take one account.

Oh, sorry!

I don't know who this Good Reverend is, but I wonder if he can help me with my skunk issue.....

I could use a blessing or eight.

if FP is a mod im a damn gonner...

lol

jfc
is this fuckin place no going to turn into another cryfish.
