For long term members, I'm sure many of you remember badanimals. A forum member told me she died in her sleep on Sunday. I liked her. She was a fun loving, nice person. I'm sure she will be missed by those that knew her. Sad...too young to die.

Wow... gave me the chills. That is so difficult to hear. She was so young. RIP young lady, your smile made me smile many times.

Wow, that is sad. Brought back some memories of the old forum, she was very active - and feisty. Ran with FishnPhil a lot, having fun and living life. RIP Nicole.

RIP Nicole, I do remember you at Antero when I caught my wall mounter. One of the 1st Get Togethers we had. God speed into the arms of Jesus, so sad.

That's very sad to here about one so young passing on, I remember some of her posts but never met her in person. My sympathy and thoughts to those who knew and loved her.

The saddest of news she was always so full of life one of the kindest smart asses I have ever met. I am so blessed that I got to fish with BadAnimuls. When she joined the forum she hadnt been fishing for very long but picked it up at hyperspace speed. She was hollow and could make food disappear like Joey Chestnut makes hot dogs disappear. The ice fishing get together at Antero that Colonative spoke of was one of those blessed trips...it was 26 degrees when we went over Wilkerson Pass and when we arrived at Antero it was minus 30 and she never complained about the cold, she just hung out in the "Hut of Hags" with Colonative's sister Deb. She always caught fish. The walleye trip with Odger's Guiding Service where again she ate 3 times her weight and turned Chad's boat into a pistachio bar...ah the golden days of the forum. The picture below is from my fishing wall at work, I scanned it in but not sure how to crop it and make it bigger. Even in its pathetic size the brilliant Nicole smile still comes thru! She was the best and one of the kindest people, heaven got a "beauty" as Doug Moe used to say. You are missed rest in peace Nicole!

Here is a couple of past BadAnimals adventure threads, in ESPN vernacular...Instant Classics!!

That was a great trip! Not sure if they grow like that anymore but those were the days. Your fish was a hog and the guy who helped land that fatty is a pretty cool dude!
