Thread: Where and how did you get your screen name?

I am and always have been a die hard hunter, especially ducks. When I was in college I once tracked a wounded woodduck about 100 yards and finally got him. My buddy I was with me was astounded and still asks me if I've seen any bleeding ducks everytime I see him.

I've been Kdog since HS where the nick started. Kind of a spin off from Horndog and If you dont understand that one do some research!

Because we bleed purple and gold around my place.

back in the early 2000's 01/02 I lived in a RV on lake Tawakoni just east of Dallas. I bought one of them 10ft fiberglass extension pole's You know the one's that had 3 stage w/1 eyelet on the very end of the rod.any way working 10 hour a day and living and hour from work,i only got to fish on the weekends. One sat. morning i was up at the crack of dawn with my new $6.00 pole 4ft of 20# braided line tied to the one eyelet and my fav. white/chartreuse tube jig.Out the door i went the RV park was in a cove and it was only about a 50 ft. walk down to the water. There was A rock pile and a drop off & a fishing dock that went out about 30 ft. There were two guys fishing a little brush pile that i first walked up to & said good morning y'all doing any good? Naaaa one of thew guys said, how about you, I told him I was just getting started,he wished me good luck and I said thanks, y'all too.I stood there watching his bober being moved and dunked for a split sec. I said Your getting a bite, he said it's been doing that for the past 1/2hr. that fish had alredy ate 3 minnow's & I'm about to move. I ask would ya mined if i dropped my jig down and see what happin's & they said go ahead so I pulled the 3pcs rod out and dropped the jig right next to his bobber. I let the jig drop all the way to the bottom and let it set there for about a min.then slowly took the slack out of the line and WAM pulled up a slab 15inch & the one ole boy just shook his head. I pulled the jig out of his mouth and handed him the fish. You aint keepin any? Naa I said i just like to catchem. i turn to walk down the waters edge & the other ole boy said bit Ya cant do that again.....I stop and slowly turn back toward the two and not saying a thing reached that 10ft pole over the other bober same thing dropped to the bottom wait a min and WAM as soon as i pick the jig up off the bottom. the other ole boy said well i'll be a S.O.B. shaking his head. what's you name he ask....Dan dan Proctor like proctor and gamble no "relation" i said. The othe guy said well Crappiedan Thank you for the Fish as I walk away And it stuck from that point all the guy's in the RV Park started calling me CrappieDan.......& that's my story & I'm stickin to it.....LOL....Y'all have a Crappie day Y'all here

Duck hunting addict for the first half of my name. The second half addresses the other hunting I do at work.

Have a custom built plate boat....popular in Central Illinois or Midwest. Sheets of aluminum making them called plate boats popular for fishing, commercial fishing and duck hunting. Can be build to whatever length. The commercial fisherman are now running 30 to 35 footers for asian carp on the Illinois River!

Hey, plateboater, I saw your boat pix on the Kentucky area. If you could also post them to out Louisiana area and the main fishing thread. There is a sticky for that on both of those threads at the top. It is unusual to our area, but looks a lot like a commercial fishing boat.

Will do dpisani.....glad you liked it. Built like a tank and will last a beyond my life time. Build to your needs for less than other boats.
