[outdoorzen]

So me and a buddy of mine were on deployment with grand plans on a website dedicated to the outdoors and the feeling you get while doing what you love. We came up with "outdoorzen".We bought the url and have had plans on doing something with it ever since... that was 10 years ago. Mike transferred and we lost touch but....Mike, I still owe you $10 for the first year of ownership!

Before I became a full time stay at home dad (jealous much), I was the wine manager for a division of Southern Wine and Spirits. Before that I was a manager at George's at the Cove for ten years. If you look up while fishing the cove you can spot the umbrellas on the terrace of the restaurant. I am actually a certified specialist of wine and can follow my name post ordinarily with CSW. So bring on the wine questions!

OK...the weather is too rough to fish or hoop so here goes...
Back in the mid 90"s when I used to fish Point Dume with Denis Spike (the grandfather of kayak fishing), and his cousin Howard Rose (Producer of the first "Kayak Fishing Video"), we used to call the guy that never caught anything but Mackerel on our outings the Saba Slayer.
When I first bought my 18' CC in the mid 90's my son and I were looking for a name for the new boat, he suggested Halibut Killer or Tuna Tamer but I wanted something different so I said how about Saba Slayer...my son liked it but he didn't know what it meant...the name stuck, and since then it's been pretty appropriate with the number of Macks that I harvest each season for Lobster bait.
I first used my screen name on the first kayak web site that I remember which was Denis Spikes' Coastal Kayak Fishing.com started in 97'. The "old" AllCoast PB board was also a good site back in the late 90's and I feel it was there that hoop netting really exploded.
Alright.... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Jim / Saba Slayer

[Lipripper92592]

In the late 80's I used to live in the central valley and jump the canal fences and fish the gates and spillways. When the security guys would drive within view, I'd hop the fence and wait until they left. After a few years of seeing this, they finally stopped and asked if I ever catch any fish. We hit up a good conversation and they said they don't mind me fishing the locked gates as long as I don't leave any trash or bring friends. One day if was raining like heck and I'm drifting whole anchovies down the spillway when I get hit hard, as I'm fighting this fish the security guy pulls up to watch the show. A few minutes latter I pull up a nice 28" rainbow. I hastily pulled the hook, tossed back another chovie and proceeded to slay huge "bows' in the central valley canal. I was stunned that I was catching trout, he was stunned I was catching fish. After about the fifth fish, he walks up and says, "maybe you should be a bit more careful pulling those hooks, you are ripping their lips. From then of, when the fishing was hot, my buddies and I would say we're "ripping lips", a year or so latter my fishing buddy John starts calling me lipripper....add the zip, hence the name.

[Cbad Mike]

Reading everyone's answers was great and I wish I had some cool or entertaining story to share about my chosen name but I don't.
Cbad Mike... Because my name is Mike and I live in Carlsbad. (Pretty creative huh)

[caddisx]

Was a fly fishing guide in montana years ago. An xcaddis was a popular fly, I took the fly and changed it a bit. The fly was deadly, took a ton of trout with it including a 13lb brown on the East Gallatin. Renamed the fly caddisx and have used it as a sign in name ever since
