Completely unrelated to fishing - Your Username

[Iceman]

Back in '92 I bought a small ice company in El Cajon, ironically I moved here from North Dakota in the 80s to get away from the brutal cold and ended up spending a significant amount of time in walk in freezers. All day long at work I'd hear "The Iceman is here" or the never gets old "The Iceman Cometh" 17 years later I went from ice to polyethylene but Polyethylene Man just does not have the same ring to it. My first posts were on the PBers "Buddy Board" and www.yakfishing.com

Mom came up with mine.

[Hunters Pa]

My first-born's name is Hunter, hence Hunters Pa. Since then a daughter, Sierra, has been added but sticking with the original.

Yep mine is not exciting either, just my last name.

Its become my standard on the boards however I have had several others including "Siebler Elf" (thanks to Drew) and Csueper Jeanyus (Thanks to Nate and other OEX crew plus the Hooters girls in Long Beach).

[taggermike]

At the time I registered for BWE I worked at the Hubbs white seabass hatchery. I did many things there but a big part of my job was tagging the juvanile WSB with coded wire tags prior to thier release. I think I tagged almost a million of the damn things, hence the taggermike

[wiredantz]

Wiredantz was the name of my computer fixing company, I am more commonly known as Darknachos.


When i registered on the board i put Wiredantz instead of Darknachos because i still use my wiredantz e-mail.


My license plate on my car says D Nachos and it was just a name i thought about when i was playing Starwars Galaxies (an online playing game)

should be changed to "burnin paddle" or something like that the way you paddled off the cursed X Factor last weekend.
Mtnbykr2...been my email address for years, before the kayak obsession came over me I was riding cross country and downhill mountain bikes, I still have one bike that I cannot part with, don't ride that much anymore though, cause in my spare time I am OTW, whale watching,,,lol....b

[Deamon]

Back in the day, I had it all down with the gear and a 20' Mako/150 Yamaha, hanging with my best friend slaying anything with gills. Two daughters came along, both playing big time club soccer and I told my buddy...dude, I think I'm done for a while. Hung the salt rods in the rafter, sold my half of the boat and then the float tube and now the yak have become my friend. Anywhere and everywhere looking for that quick fix. So the older daughter gets a damn nice soccer scholarship to Wake Forest...Deamon Deacons. Same guy tells me about this website...boom: Deamon. She's since transferred out of there.

I WILL ride the sleigh this year...

i got my first Hobie Outback back in 2003, when not many people knew much about the pedal drive yaks. So i thought i would use my name to "educate" various board members about these awesome devices. - LOLOL

[onetriphudson]

Most of my friends call me Hudson and the nickname is from college. Around Y2K, I was helping a friend buy some furniture and he insisted it would take multiple trips to get it all home. I had faith in my little GMC Sonoma truck to carry it all and I did. He was impressed and grateful, so the name was born. As well, we lived in a second story place and after grocery shopping I'd load my arms with a ridiculous amount of bags, not wanting to make more than one trip. So there you go!

[JoeBeck]

I used to go by FishFinder which was not all that creative in the 1st place, I didn't have one then and prided myself on being able to find the fish without it . Really I was just broke and couldn't afford one, of course I regularly use a Fish Finder now.

Then I would be fishing and people would come up to me and ask me if I was FishFinder, with my heavy image post this came sort of regular people recognizing me on the water. Thought it was strange so I just changed my handle to my Shortened Name Joe (Joseph) Beck (short for a very long last name 1st 4 letters Beck).

[sealyin]

sealyin (pronounced Sea Lion). The name of our old cabin cruiser that had a silhouette of a CA sea lion on the stern but the word play was about "the big fish that got away"! Kept the name after the boat went away........one of the two happiest days in a boat owners life

Completely related to fishing..

(my middle name..)
Jason "Wade" H.

it took a few years, & once my fishin' buddies found out my hidden middle name, they would only call me by my middle name from there on out...

i loved being on the water, but HATED "PADDLING" a yak with my arms. To me, it was just too much work & too slow speed, and so i always preferred riding the jet skis my sister also had back in TX.

then i test-drove my first fishing kayak, the Hobie Outback, in July 2003 at Fast Lane Sailing Center in Misn Bay.

and was immediately addicted to the pedal drive system, bought the yak that day, took to LaJolla the next day..... and then promptly rolled & dumped on my first ever launch attempt.

i had NO CLUE what i should be doing to correctly pilot a kayak period, let alone in the surf. but just kept at it, until i sort of learned.

by the time i found the kayak msg boards around late 2004, i was completely addicted to fishing from the Hobie Kayak with the pedal drive.... so choosing my username, was very simple for me.

One afternoon, I flipped coming back from a long day of fishing.

I rolled down that big wave all the way to the sandy beach! A tourist saw me and said i looked like Driftwood washing up the beach.

probably the BEST "STORY" behind any username here.

partly because the name is just flat out cool.

and partly because of the many great photoshop images & gif images IceMan has made for his various accts, on many of the common fishing websites.

HONORABLE MENTION: i haven't seen any posts by him in past few years, but "MAD SCIENTIST" was always my second favorite username on the message boards. pretty cool name as well.
