I know how much you love pictures, but does it even matter whether they are authentic or not?   

Are you one of those guys that are into anime porn?  😅   You wanna see Scooby Doo knock the bottom out of Dora the Explorer...... don't ya?  

I didn’t look at the picture close enough or even read the article.   It doesn’t mean anything to me.  They jumped the shark years ago.  If I never get it again I wouldn’t even notice.   

I don’t like porn of any kind.  It’s bad for you.   And…..   I don’t like and have never liked cartoons.    I can barely sit through a tv show or movie without pointing out that it’s a movie not real life.  
 

One thing I do know.   That writer is all up your kitchen😂.   And that I like.  😁

It bugs me that everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) controlled by humans  is dumbing down.   People don't aquire individual skills anymore, nor allow any escalation of any skills as time passes, because they have devices that are programmed to automatically do everything for them. Human Evolution has ceased and society is now in limbo awaiting full control via AI.

I haven't run across any others. Have you?       

Reference a few, and I will.  

As a quality photographer I'd think that YOU (of all people) would be rolling your eyes completely out of your head over it.  

 

Oh wait.... Here's one!    Look at this puppy that I caught.   

At least the rod is loaded. 🙄 

I should go lay a bow on the next roadkill I come across, and post it in the Bow Hunting thread.

What I see from that pic is this.  The dog knocked your beer over on the carpet behind him, he is sad because you scolded him, you sit your rod down to get another, and butt dialed your camera.

You were not paying attention when you reeled in either, the line is wadded up in that reel.

That’s a pretty fatalistic viewpoint.   Although I agree with you but only to a point.

I can understand why people feel this way. For the most part all we hear is the stupidity that goes on. But let me assure you that there are plenty of people that are acquiring new skills everyday. But you won't hear about these folks and the amazing things they are creating because it's more popular to just female doggy and moan about all the bad stuff in the world.

I see them all the time. But I'm not going on a search just to prove a pointless point. And I don't have ANY fishing publications laying around. There are absolutely none in this house. But you can see plenty of staged stuff on social media. But as someone who loves quality photography, I just ignore it.

What drives me even more crazy with outdoor photography are pics of fish on the ground, boat carpet, etc. I'm not overly concerned about the health of the fish as much as it's just a pointless photo. Taken one next to a foot is another of my favorites. And I love those quality photos with the background all blacked out. What's the point? Those are almost as bad as the pics with a flyrod in the mouth. Or laying across the back of the shoulders. What's the point? Can you imagine a photo of a spinning rod in someone's mouth? That would get bashed to death. And my all time worst thing I see with a photo is some hotshot's comment: "no photoshop, no filter" or "straight out of camera". That's great stud. You've saved the world with your genius skills using your iPhone. Nine times out of 10 those photos suck.

In my circles the amazing things I see being created today are all just things that make it more convenient for people to remain stupid and lazy.

I tied some hybrid jig buggers for winter smallies.  Do you feel better now? 

Although I did not forge the hooks or scalp any chickens for them.  😂

Don't feel bad, all my photos look like crime scene evidence.  At least we caught something!!😄
