I love snowboarding, but I would never want to do it competitively or at a professional level. Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion.

Tony Hawk

Is the quick and stoic stepper going to spawn a secondary event- a maternithon for expectant mothers?

Bud Collins

She sat there like she'd done all this before. She was so docile. That fish probably thinks this is all just part of the spawning process.

Jed Dickerson

We have lists that are having baby lists at this point; they're spawning faster than rabbits.

Timothy Sparapani

We didn't even know about this fish. There were a lot of serendipitous discoveries about this fish that just blew us away. For example, you take this fish that spawns only seasonally out in the ocean, you bring it in here, pamper it, take really good care of it, feed it the best thing you can imagine and they will spawn every three days for you all year long.

Dale Sarver

A closure on the northern portion of the coast would protect white shrimp spawning habitat and allow shrimp to mature and move farther offshore where they will be worth more per catch.

Brian Sybert

It seems we're kind of in the middle of the spawn. Usually, the monster fish spawn first [and they're done spawning]. I expect there'll be a 10-pounder caught, but it won't be a slugfest like in 2001. I think you'll see pretty good weights.

Jay Yelas

The larger fish tend to spawn earlier, but the big fish will suddenly decide to move and that's going to occur in a fairly short period of time.

Dave Terre

We have adjusted the fisheries to ensure escapement (fish allowed to spawn) objectives are met.

Don Radford

Perhaps no hall of comparable size anywhere has served so nobly as a spawning ground for young talent and, it must be said, as a graveyard for the hopes of the mediocre.

Donal Henahan

Removing one female lamprey isn't always a terribly valuable exercise. But to prevent a group from spawning, there is enormous payoff there.

Peter Sorensen

There will not be a lot of nudity or gratuitous sex. But will it be violent? Yes. Will you see a lot of blood? Yes. Will there be bad language? Yes. This is Spawn with an attitude. He's been sleeping for seven years, and something's woke him up -- and he's pissed.

Terry Fitzgerald

We've got water temperatures approaching and even exceeding 70 degrees, plus we've got a full moon cycle and it's mid-April. You put all of those together and I don't see how the spawn can't help but peak this week.

Rabbit Rogers

Where the effect comes in droughts is the low water levels coming off the spawn. All the water is pulled off the cover the baby bass are hiding in. They can't hide and this hurts recruitment. But it is something fishermen might not notice for three or four years.

Dave Terre

Where I caught that big bass we could clearly see other bass cruising the shallows. That tells me that they are moving up and getting ready to bed. In fact, we saw several beds in about 5 feet of water. Everybody is getting excited about the spawn. We'll probably have bass on the beds by this weekend. But the real push of spawning bass won't come for another 10 days or so.

Lonnie Stanley

The bluegill population is very good. We haven't collected any 'trophy' bluegill, but there are many in the 61/2- to 8-inch range. The best time to fish for them is in May during the spawn.

Dan Stephenson

This is a pristine watershed, with a lot of spawning habitat and it could support a big run of the species. That is why we are so eager to get something going.

Tom Cleveland

Bill did an excellent job here. He made lots of improvements and really cleaned up the grounds. I would like to see more improvement in the holding pond area and create extra room for fish handling during the spawning season.

Brett Boyd

Threats abound. This fish is almost infertile, with females laying up to 10 eggs in their 10-month life span. So we're hoping there are enough fish of breeding age to begin spawning.

Linda Manning

The GLFC has the goal of controlling lamprey with a new and better technique by 2010. This could be it. Also, lamprey are important to native peoples on the West Coast, who value it for food. This pheromone could help restore lamprey runs by attracting lamprey to suitable spawning beds.

Peter Sorensen

Ideally we wanted to tag them in the wintertime when the fish were down in the lakes themselves, but we couldn't do that, so this is the back-up plan. We targeted them once they came up the rivers to spawn.

Wade Bales

Batman is easily my most favorite character beside Spawn.

Todd Mcfarlane

And this is just the beginning of the spawning season -- it'll continue for another two months.

Tony Smock

Right now, the fish are in their spawning pattern.

Mark Noble

We had another professional call us and tell us that he had witnessed Kevin on the front deck, while his co-angler was running the motor. The professional said that it appeared as if Kevin was looking for spawning beds.

Trip Weldon

How far the white bass run up the Sabine is dependent on the river flow. It is not going to keep them from spawning. A lot of people may not know that they will spawn in the lake on wind-blown points. It is going to impact angler success.

Dave Terre

The gravel went with a gentle slope, and that's where the fish were. I knew they spawn in that area. The wind helped a lot.

Shinichi Fukae

Our goal is to minimize, and where possible eliminate, the harvest of naturally spawning fish that provide the foundation for recovery.

James Connaughton

I was really disappointed to see that the 2004 and 2005 year-classes were so low. We don't know what the 2006 spawning will be like because it's just starting. If we have another poor spawning year, that doesn't bode well for the future. We can't depend on just one year-class.

Dan Thomas

It's really a challenge to assess their populations. The only way to really see them is during the spawning run.

Karen Martin

The records were bound to fall. The Classic was moved from a summertime event to springtime in Central Florida where you are bound to find large bass in various phases of the spawning cycle.

Denny Brauer

The male cuttlefish has quite a challenge on his hands when it comes to the end of their yearly life cycle. There are four, five, even ten males for every female on the spawning grounds, so the challenge they face is, 'How do I get my genes into the next generation?' There's enormous competition among the males for the relatively few females that are on the spawning ground.

Roger Hanlon

All we need is a couple of pre-spawn fish over 12 inches. We've had difficulty getting them from other sources.

Rick Lorson

The 60s are magic. That's when things start to happen. When the temperature gets into the upper 50s, the males start looking for spawning sites. Anglers who start catching the males know that's when the spawn is about to happen.

Dave Terre

We have lists that are having baby lists at this point; they're spawning faster than rabbits. If we have over 300,000 known terrorists who want to do this country harm, we've got a much bigger problem than deciding which names go on which list. But I highly doubt that is the case.

Timothy Sparapani

America has been knocked-up with democracy's mutant love child. She has finally borne the demonic spawn of greed, narcissism and civilian indifference. (Congrats on a second term Mr Bush).

Jules Carlysle

It's the spawning season, it's easier to catch them. A lot of the guys can actually see them on their nest and you flip them into their breeding grounds.

Jack La Rew

Look for areas adjacent to spawning grounds, which they'll be moving into. Look for vertical structure in the main lake with deep water nearby. You wouldn't fish shallow flats in February or March.
