Some of the Best FM Members

[Rick]

Who are a couple FM members you enjoy?

[Rick]

I really enjoy a lot of FM members. So I can't really say they are the best but here are 2 of many...

@IceHawk and @Borch

Thanks Rick.   Lots of great folks here I would love to spend time on the water, ice or woods with.   Hopefully we get a chance doing to do so soon.  I really enjoy when we can get together and have fun!

The community here is the draw, not necessarily individuals.  Through the years I have been taught many things by reading posts of all the wise ones.  I really enjoy(ed) reading reports from Eyeguy, RickG, and Icehawk.  Heck I purchased my boat From Cliff, really miss his Vermilion expertise.  Borch, is probably single handedly responsible for me figuring out how to hunt a turkey, he probably doesn't even know it either!

I have personally met/know SmellEsox and Wanderer, they are couple of the finestest gentlemen I know.

This forum is still the best of its kind.

Agree it's hard to pin that.  Besides getting great input when needed, I really enjoy the fishing reports when I am landlocked I can live through them.  Reports that give some idea of the technique, type of fish, and area of the state that is all I need.  I guess for that reason I sort of like JBMaster Angler and Monster Moose threads as examples but I am probably missing others that do the same just off the top of my head here.  I also enjoy equipment reviews great to get first hand interactive conversation but there is not a specific example here.

There are the top posters we’ve come to appreciate and recognize for keeping this forum active, that’s for darn sure!  There are a few others that post a less frequent but have shared great stories and information; all very appreciated too!  I’ve seen some posts lately from members (on HSO too) that I wasn’t sure were still around.  It reminds me how many eyes do looks at these pages. 

 

Everyone I’ve met and had an opportunity to fish with or work on a car with have been genuine GOOD PEOPLE.  The only disappointment has been @ANYFISH2 cuz he isn’t available to fish with as much as I’d like too!   But I get it, cuz I don’t get to go as much as I’d like to either...  Checking on posts always helps with that though. 
 

Thanks All, and especially to those that I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with.

[Rick G]

My favorites are all the members that have posted reports, answer questions or gave input through out the years...    Pretty much everyone that contributes once I get n a while is my favorite member

[Kettle]

I hear that @Kettle guy is pretty cool In all honesty as I've mentioned in previous posts, this forum has helped me keep my sanity the last few years in school. After residency and when I finally get that 20' tiller I hope to meet up with a lot of you and take those willing out fishing!

Hard to pin it fine to just two.  If I had too it would be Icehawk, who does very detailed reports with great technique info and papadarv, whose post I always look forward to reading.  The guy is a creative genius and I really enjoy the stuff he comes up with.

[JBMasterAngler]

I can’t pinpoint anyone in particular either. I do appreciate the mention though. I just like seeing activity here. I miss the good ol’ days when I first joined over 13 years ago, when this place was really booming. I’m a member of a bunch of different Facebook groups, and it’s just not the same as the forum.

You know where to find the tiller.

[mrpike1973]

I would say Icehawk met him at a catfish get together fun to talk to and my wife really enjoyed chatting as well. Rick G and Eye guy are fun to hear from as well as all the others I guess I can't really nail down. I have learned from many on here.

[Harv]

I've enjoyed reading eyeguy, kettle, borch's posts and they've answered questions / emails very quickly.   KellyP, cookie and johnny p on the URL form is great.  Way too many people to name.

[DonkeyHodey]

I pretty much thank the whole crew that regularly post in/around the Saint Cloud fishing area. 

It's nice to have a large amount of very active/helpful posters in my general area. 

 

Borch, RickG, eyeguy, icehawk, tomsawyer, matt320, wanderer, Mrpike, Anyfish, and others.   This is cruel... I struggle to name names, because I'll leave someone out.  Forgive me, if I left out your name and you're a Clouder.  Oh, Bryan P--the videos are fun!

 

All of you:  Your pictures are fun.  Your reports are helpful.  You guys rock!  Happy Fishing to ya'll.

We certainly have members here that provide more content than others, but participation by anyone with something to ask or tell is awesome, as that is what forms the bonds and respect with/from others.  I wish I was out in the woods and on the water as much as I was back a few years ago but I still love coming onto the forums and reading and living vicariously through others experiences when I can't get out and make my own memories.  Thanks to all that make the forums what they are and give us reason to keep coming back!!

[Rick G]

The  truth is, how can you single any one or two members out...the list loooong... Love reading the Red lake reports, Kelly and the guys always have some good stories to tell. The Vermillion area too... Cliff adds some good stuff....  Prinston area, well if it wasn't for Moose there wouldn't be a whole lot going there... Jb adds all kinds of good content in a few areas. Smurf is just funny, but the place wouldn't be the same without him... Ozzie, he adds his insight and wisdom when needed... Pappadarv, can't say enough good things about what he brings... Wander, great guy with tons of Knowledge... Anyfsh with his reports and humor... smalliehuunter, some great pics from him.  Chill62, pretty much keeps the Ottertail forum alive...  Mr Pike, one of the nicest guys I have ever met... and has some darn good stries and reports shared. The St Cloud crew.... Well, they are a great bunch and definitely make this place more fun.   All the Members I didn't name... Your input keeps me coming back.   And last but certainly not least... Rick P... Without him, we wouldn't have FM... Thank you most of all!

[Rick]
