Oh, I'm quite full of it, I freely admit.

Me too, and take pride in it

I've always liked this story..

Record fish usually dont come to those who want them the most. And thats a good thing...I also see no reason to knock any of the folks who have been unfortunate enough to catch one...Seems that somebody will always find fault with your catch, or fault you for taking it home...Plain Silliness, IMO. Life gets a heck of alot easier if you dont take it to seriously..Quit trying to find fault, and be glad for other folks when good things happen to them. Cheers.

Ahem!

Corn and marshmallows, fished from a dock...how positively boorish! Grandfather said this would occur when fishing was allowed among the hoi polloi.

Manley's Record Trout Hit On First Cast

by Steve Wright from his book Ozark Trout Tales

"The International Game Fish Association didn't recognize Manley's fish because it was caught on the combination of a treble hook and bait."

What a bunch of jerks.

I still think we need to blame the fish for our differences...

[FishinCricket]

I caught a trout on a cigarette butt once...

I use bread sometimes..

But bobbers are for pansy's! lol

and powerbait rulez!

Maybe, with enough practice, I can be full of it too? Just maybe? :fingerscrossed:

"Powerbait is for fat kids and old people."

I said that once upon a time. It was funny and seemed fitting. It was more of a rhetorical comment on how funny the whole debate was. To each his own and good luck to them as well.

Personally I release every fish. I would undoubtedly release a state or world record. I would take some pics and hopefully have a replica mount made that would sit in the garage and gather dust since my wife would smother me in my sleep if I brought it in the house, plastic or not. I am the type that would spend 5 hours reviving a fish.

I'm the type that would leave you after the first 30 minutes, and let you find your own ride home.

That's hilarious!
