Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 01:49 am I saw this and thought it looked like it needed some plastic surgery. Is it genuine? What causes the hooked nose? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1878-VAM-84...em3a7d31abfc Edited by Arcticsparky 01/10/2013 02:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 01:51 am I checked, and no the eagle doesn't have a human nose. Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 06:52 am Wow, she looks like a troll...or a really old witch, Lol. Ya, I'd have to say its real, It's part of the VAM-84A... She's missing a nostril, the line from the "hook" back down to the bottom of the face is missing/polished off. Very cool.. I've never seen one of these before so thanks for sharing the old hag... too funny! Report this Post to the Staff

Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 10:55 am The second I saw it I thought it was fake. It's amazing how such a minute change can make such a dramatic change in how she looks. Report this Post to the Staff
Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 10:58 am I'm off to go Ice fishing with the kids. I'll talk to you guys later, maybe post some fish pictures with a coin on them for context. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 12:07 pm OK, so THAT is a real VAM? I have never seen that before. I would have sworn that was a fake. LOL Report this Post to the Staff
morgandude Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 6:51 pm My first thought was that it was fake too. Edited by morgandude 01/10/2013 6:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 8:49 pm We're back from fishing. I almost bought that hooknose, but I wasn't sure if it was real at the time. Thanks for the information guys. Report this Post to the Staff

Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 9:11 pm Come on over, it's kokanee salmon all over the place. Report this Post to the Staff
Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 9:14 pm Looks like fun! Fresh Ice Fished Salmon Been too long (well... for a YN anyway) since I've had that! Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 9:16 pm Man, if only I could. All you get around east Texas is catfish. I'd kill for a nice Haddock fish fry. Won't tell you what I'd do for fresh Salmon.... Report this Post to the Staff
Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 9:18 pm The kids absolutely love it. My youngest broke his reel so I tied some line to the end of his pole. When he got a fish on he would take off running and the fish would come flying out of the hole. Which is what he did right before this pic was taken. Report this Post to the Staff
