Check out the 2002 lifelist page!

<p>I was looking at the internet archive&#39;s wayback machine to see when the old site was last crawled so I could look up some info in forum responses that aren&#39;t present on the new site, and I couldn&#39;t resist taking a look back at the earliest version of the site it has a copy of:</p> <p>http://web.archive.org/web/20020528210948/http://www.roughfish.com/</p> <p>Corey and Andy, you&#39;ve come a long way with an idea that started relatively simple and fun and now must frequently seem like it&#39;s taken over your life.</p> <p><a href="http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx216/onelson/FireShotScreenCapture002-roughfish_comhomepage-web_archive_org_web_20020528210948_www_roughfish_com.png"><img alt="" src="http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx216/onelson/FireShotScreenCapture002-roughfish_comhomepage-web_archive_org_web_20020528210948_www_roughfish_com.png" /></a></p> <p>Looks like the last crawl the wayback machine did was in July of 2011, but as far as I can tell, it never saved any posts in the forums.</p> <p>The 2005 lifelist page for midwestern freshwater species: http://web.archive.org/web/20031229055903/http://www.roughfish.com/</p> <p><a href="http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx216/onelson/FireShotScreenCapture003-roughfish_comhomepage-web_archive_org_web_20031229055903_www_roughfish_com.png"><img alt="" src="http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx216/onelson/FireShotScreenCapture003-roughfish_comhomepage-web_archive_org_web_20031229055903_www_roughfish_com.png" /></a></p> <p>There are versions of the site from 2002-2011. Sometimes photos and subpages are included, sometimes not. The most detailed crawls I&#39;ve seen so far are from 2003--seems like most photos are preserved, and there are some great ones.</p> <p>The 2005 species derby rules are entertaining: http://web.archive.org/web/20050308161331/http://www.everyb1t.com:8080/State?STATE=CN1</p> <p>Fishing logs from 2002 or 2003 are cool as they remind me that I&#39;ve always meant to keep a fishing log and never managed to do it. I like the idea of including what forage was observed, not just what fish were caught. And these don&#39;t just have fish info, either. For example, on 8/20/2003, on the Lower St. Croix, Mars rose at 9:45.</p> <p>I really should be working. I think I&#39;ll do that now.</p>
