I've met and fished with probably 20+/- staggers. However, I've never had a person come up to me while I'm out somewhere and say "Hey aren't you Saw1?"
Maybe I'm incognito.

Small world sometimes.
Lord willing, I get to meet Jeremy, Justoldjim and ? next Wed. I have caught a few trout, crappy, catfish and carp, but never a salmon or bass and those are what most of you folks seem to to get most excited about.

That's cool SA. Sooner or later we'll all run into a Stager, if there's any in our area. Hopefully our memories won't fail us, and we'll recognize each other.

Sounds like my kind of luck.

That’s what my luck would be too SA. Glad you got to meet someone from the stage. I met several here in June and hope to fish with all of them again. Grizz,Plumbob and I did get to spend a day together this week and while the fish didn’t cooperate,it was still a great day

At least DC got to put one in his boat,we crossed paths out off possession point,don't know if he caught more.I ended up with an empty cooler today,thinking I'll go back out tomorrow, maybe go up a hook size to see if that makes a difference. Hey DC,was real cool running into you at the ramp today and look forward to meeting more stagers in the near future?

it was good to finally meet up and get a chance to see your boat and the modifications you did to turn it into a salmon killing machine. It really looks good. I was disappointed to find out at the ramp that they had closed king season in area 9 effective today but at least it lasted for 4 weeks this year. we ended up with the one coho that I added the picture below, and 2 small kings which we had to let go because the were 1. to small and 2 they were kings. I don't think I will be out until area 8-2 opens up in a couple weeks and the coho runs really start coming through hopefully we will meet up again and who knows maybe papabear will make his way down for that season and he could treat us to his fine BBQed dog fish that he has been perfecting.
