Phil Stephens RIP.
Phil and Mystical Legends Guide Service. Sorry to report Phil lost his epic battle with cancer and passed away a couple of weeks ago almost 10 years to the day since he was first diagnosed. He was a great guy and the best fisherman I have ever met.

We surely miss those who taught us the ropes in years past, (when it comes to seeing Sliver up on the bank.)
May we continue their Legacy by showing the same Professionalism, as we encourage other Fishermen learning our favorite sport. " TRAPPER "
Yes. much rather be checking in....A lot of water under the bridge since the Kayak Point days although they were fun. My job took me to the east side of the state for a few years before it brought me back and I landed much further south than where lived before... in the Lake Tapps area now. Closer to the south sound rivers and peninsula bounties. Just have to make time to get out more often. Glad to see some of the crew still around...The days of The Dr. and Keith....Chump Fishing still make me smile.Uncle Bubba, Glad to hear I'm not the only on feeling that way. Nice to have you checking in instead of "Checking Out".
Besides, isn't time for you to be hitting the Beach for Humpies over on Kayak Point? Pink and White Dick Nites on lite tackle should do the trick!

Chump fishing LOL LOLYes. much rather be checking in....A lot of water under the bridge since the Kayak Point days although they were fun.

Uncle Bubba, If you ask him nice, Dr. Hook may show you his "Secret Tiger Muskie Hole" on Lake Tapps! " TRAPPER "Chump fishing LOL LOL
Hey you are my neighbor!
Stay on the right side of the dirt.I took a social media moratorium for several years to fight cancer. I'm still on the right side of the dirt! I'll know in June if I'm winning the battle, but I'm optimistic and feeling good!
You're right.Saw bruce was adminning again and figured “what the hell”. I was , of course, “eggster” back in the day. Fishing sure has gone to hell since the good ole gamefishin days, but i keep after it when i can. I still talk to salmonfinder, doublehooks, reeltruthfishing, and lots of other members that frequented the site. I miss marsha bashing on steve “reeltruth” all the time about anything he’d post. Steve hanson and i have become good friends, and have fished together since 2009, when gamefishin was in its hayday, as well as lots of other members ive met on gamefishin. Bob reid “cowlitzfisherman” is on facebook, and ill see a post from him once in a while. I remember alot of people telling him he was full of shit on most of his cowlitz predictions, and his posts on how it was going to change for the worse, who’s full of shit now? Everything he warned us about came to fruition, and now were left with scraps. It seemed to me, after the site was sold, it went down hill and everyone bailed. Its good to see some of the old names again, brings back some good memories of great fishing.
Damn it, i had no idea.He will definitely be missed.You're right.
Unfortunately, cowlitzfisherman passed away not long ago. He'll be missed. I've lost many good friends from this site over the years. I miss them all.
Those were some great times together for sure, many will be missed.Damn it, i had no idea.He will definitely be missed.
FDB Thanks for checking in, how did your Garden do this year on those Puyallup Hot Beds?Wow, it has definitely been awhile since I have been on here. Glad to hear you are doing good Bruce. Met many many great friends in this forum that I still keep in contact with to this day. Sorry to hear that we lost many of the old timers. Downriggin got me into my first BM and Old Crow got me into my first springers (as well as many other species). Bruce got me into my first chump, LMAO. Definitely the good ole days and fun times. I still talk with Aristotle and MissingAddi (Cliff) and seen FGK not too long ago at his work. I know most people from back in the days by their real name now, I guess I am getting old and no longer can remember their monikers.
