Saw The Guru On The Water Today

[Chief Grey Bear]

My mistake. You stated it was "common" to catch them. One of the meanings of the word "common" from a online dictionary is:

of frequent occurrence; usual; familiar: a common event.

I thought it was pretty outstanding you commonly caught these large fish. Especially the 8lb Redhorse. Seeing how the state record is 9 pounds and something.

But none the less, since you are not one for compliments, even though I had the wrong river in your case, I will refrain from complimenting you. It obvioulsy angers you.

Actually ,, Chief ,,,, I was talking about the Gasc and the Big Piney. And no, it wasn't "EVERY TIME"

Funny,, you just proved my point from another post.

You still don't get it and probably never will so I wont waist my time typing more to you ,,,, Chief.

Had a bad day I guess?

Al, like you I've fished thse streams for many years, and in the mid 70's we started fishing the Meramec with Arkie jigs with a #11 porkfrog. The bass had never seen anything like them. I would just take two different baits to the river, one 1/4 oz. jig and 3/8 oz. jig. I believe that many days we released over a 100 good smallies. In the early '80's just about the time the river accesses became more numerous along with the advent of jetboats, I began to take lots of big bass with Spook type baits. Didn't like their poor action, so started manufacturing my own. It was common to see as many as four good smallies chase that bait back to the boat. Those were rip roarin' days. Maybe my skill level has gotten better, and I have much more time to winter fish, thus the greater number of big fish have been taken the last fe years. Most folks now release their bass, so that's good, but a few lawbreaking giggers have a way of decreasing our lunker potential as you have written about previously.

Also, you have to take the blame for this Guru name deal. I think it was you that started this, and others picked up on it. Zipstick is really just plain ole Nick, and many anglers out there are as much as a guru as am I. Good luck at your seminar and let me know if you want to go north this summer.

It's all good.

I've learned everything I needed to know. No hard feelings here.

You wont hear anything more on this subject from me.

I do not wish any ills on anyone.

I sincerely wish you (and others) a great long life.

May your lines always stay wet and your honey holes stay full.

Solus, I am beginning to think you may have anurism.. Or a blood clot on the brain or something.. You may need to have that looked into..

Shut up Cricket. I hate you. Jerk. Idiot. How ya feel about that?

I'm strangely comfortable with it.. Besides, you forgot to say asshat.

you forgot "Douchebag"

I'm rubber, you're glue..

... I know nothing of this

Their just jealous of me, don't worry to much about it..
