We have seen this on the MS board and its a cancer. Don't slack up and ignore the haters, period. I haven't posted many fish pics cause heck I aint caught none to speak of. If, when I ever catch a limit out of one of my home lakes you can bet yo sweet arse I will be bragging fir everyone to see. Jealousy has more to do with it than anything, either that or greed, don't want anyone else fishing their lake.
I like seeing some ole boy catching fesh, lets me know it can be done, heck its why I fish tourneys, some days I get my butt handed to me but it makes it even sweeter when I hand them theirs in return the next go round.
I have seen a bunch of folks catch the biggest fish of their life out of my rig, not bragging its fact and I would rather watch someone else catch it than me. Saw guys go ape crap crazy over a 2 pound fesh this spring, a fesh that I would just put a knife to and eat. Bite was tuff and we caught very few keepers but every keeper we had was the BIGGEST they had ever caught in their lives, them boys iced them fish down and carried em back whole to Iowa to show off, man what a trip.
Watch another guy turn a 3.04 male back, had a 3.01 on the wall and said he wasn't gonna mount him so he should just release him, brother thought he was crazy but we took some pics and then watched that big boy swim away, them or me neither will forget that day.
I think this is what our sport is all about, sharing, helping, learning, teaching, getting our butts kicked and kicking some butt. I try hard to repay what I have been taught and learned by passing it along, some see this as I think I know everything and this is very far from the truth but when I can help I will. Saw JW get slammed the other day rite here and it was a crying shame, the thread had a tremendous amount of potential and the info he was trying to share he had been working on for a week. He had traveled several hundred miles and soley fished with the planers the whole week to pass along what he had learned, a crying shame and a cancer if we let it shut us down.
Post em up guys and thanks for this thread, I will be posting more like I used to, the heck with what anyone thinks.
