Completely unrelated to fishing - Your Username - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Been out of the loop for a few years now due to .... life .... events. The yak is still in great shape and time to clean it up and head back out.

Wondering what some of the new crew of BWE have in username history, how did you come up with it? It's always fun to hear

In the ticket office at Portsocall Sportfishing, a friend of mine jokingly wrote, "John Mckroid Jr." under a photo of a big yellowtail that I caught.

Passengers started referring to me by the name, and it stuck. I once had to return a paycheck from 22nd St. Landing to have the last name corrected.

That was back in the early 80's. Raising a family put the hobby on hold for a few decades. In 2014 when I resumed fishing, John Mckroid was also revived for social media and has even set a few records in kayak fishing tournaments.
