Hey all! BFT has assigned JapanRon and myself the fun project of collecting and putting up a list of fishing terms and slang. We have a good start, from our own and other sources, but are soliciting contributions from everyone in the BFT family.
Here is a link to the board, as it is right now. We haven’t posted our initial collection yet, but you can at least read the ground rules and get the idea.

On Myself and TubeDude’s behalf,
All right California anglers! Let’s make sure that the lingo we use here in sunny Ah hemmm California has a good representation on the new fishing terms glossary board. Do you realize that there are at least 5 fish called sheephead around the country. Of course, our fishy’s name is really straightforward as it’s the ‘Califoria sheephead’! One of the few fish I know that is born a girl and decides later whether it wants to be a girl or a boy! ha ha
As TubeDude said, hey! wait a minute, isn’t ‘dude’ a Californinism?! Anyhow, check out the link TubeDudes got in the previous or original post here.
