I wish there were likes to press on this site.

You know you are a Lowliner when you dip into your retirement fund to afford fish expo.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
---when fish expo is just a flyer that comes in the mail. What's this retirement fund thing?
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
AN inheritance left by an aunt who married a successful author/professor entropy. You didn't actually think this Lowliner made enough trolling to build a retirement fund did you? LOL. Happy thanksgiving, I will chuckle all day.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
When you go to 3 days of fish expo and all you buy is $10 worth of cleaner for your wife to clean the sinks after putting up the pollock by catch for winter sustenance. (True story this year). Well, maybe pollock, or similar.

You know you're a lowliner when Joel doesn't even try to make you buy raffle tickets at the ATA meeting at Pacific Marine Expo.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
I have bought two books from ATA Board members plus one from Joel. Supporting ATA is the best deal for us lowliners.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
I think having expendable income for raffle tickets, no matter how justified, would be a highliner topic.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
Part of the expenses. But you do have a point, most highliners invest in their organizations.

Touche...
As a first-year guy with likely the lowest king score for 2014 of any member on this board, I consider my initial ATA membership fees a strain as it is - but will proudly write that check. Next year, perhaps I have fewer mechanical issues and land on the fishing grounds in time to fish the king opener instead of the day it closes like I did this year. That would help me end up with enough money at the end of the season to donate to the cause that I depend on for a fishing future. I also hope those who can remember their first season and the risks they took to get there - and through it - can appreciate how every dollar counted towards better being ready for their second year.
You know you're a lowliner when you feel the need to defend your decision to not buy raffle tickets by explaining you're not a tongue-in-cheek lowliner, but an actual flesh and blood example.

Great one Hans. Been there.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
I was at a fisherman's party last night and another fisherman suggested that in the troll community there needed to be a "high whiner" award.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You don't have a boat yet.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
Ether an,
No boat = no liner.
No boat = no liner.

Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
When you didn't fish your boat and permit last year and feel like you came out money ahead... but your heart is telling you can't miss next year
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
My doña,
You didn't suffer with us last year?

You know you are a Lowliner when your son gives the high quality volt meter to his trolling buddies who might benefit from it. You don't get one.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You might be a Lowliner when MR is on your speed dial, you have Aluminum anodes, and you still don't catch.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You might be a Lowliner if you didn't submit comments on Alaska Board of Fish proposals. (This is one I don't qualify for. Mine are in.)
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You might be a Lowliner when you are a "Chumtroller".
