Have you ever lied about fishing for stripers?

without a fishtale:D

fishermen lie? :rolleyes:

A few years ago Captain Mike (ave maria) and I used to lie so much no one ever beleived us

Now we just tell the truth and no one beleives us

:chatter :bshake:

I'd be a liar if I told you I lied about stripers!:fishslap:

I've been known to fib a little.:laughs:

F-18, thats a lie!:smash:

You caught me BF. and stop hijacking.:laughs: :laughs:

I fish, therefore I lie :) ...

But I'm much better now. :hihi:

u know the saying
"all fishermen are liars except for me and you, and I'm not so sure about you";)

fishing pox..

i read about it somewhere that it causes you to lie to everyone..

and make secret phone calls to other sufferers during fishing

season..

heehee..lieing about fishing, uhh...yeah i uh always, i mean never, unless maybe this one time....but that doesn't count..it was a choggie! no really it was! and anyways,,what fisherman asks anouther if he lies, then what we we talk about when we were :gu: lol oh yeah,,,i love this site..new kid on the block!

I thought I was the only bull#^&#^&#^&#^&ter, I guess I have some company as I read this post under the shadow thrown by my pair of twin 50 cows that I had mounted I caught both of them on a single treble hook on my meps spiiner lure....

did I mention that they were siamese twins, stuck together at the gill plate. I will post a picutre as soon as I can find my camera, you see L lent it to someone.

where did you catch that striper? the ocean. that is even a lie. :p

Please, if you don't lie.....learn how to!

Just the location.

WHAT!!!! You guys lie. All this time I took everything you guys said as Gospel.

I feel Dissillusioned and Violated :D :smash:

It sounds like we as fishermen and Women should have some Ethics. Is lying ok? Is Lying part of ethics? So if the answer is yes, when we teach our kids to fish we should also have them join the liars club? :confused: :confused:

Just tossing a bomb.

Ask a Stupid Question....get an ethical answer...

OH yeah, Moose, Sea Monkeys have ethics...buy a round

and its Captain Basic now buddy:happy:

You say "nice fish" and I won't lie to you.

Ask where I caught it and I probably forgot the exact location :D

I don't lie, but I don't define very well either.
"got some keepers in Mass bay"
"fish hitting in the north river"
"I did not have sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky"

I am a horrible liar and I know this. So I dont lie....I try my best to answer the question truthfully but the trick it to tell it as vaguely as possible!!!!

I don't lie I just don't tell the full story!

The only thing I lie about is when I tell you I don't lie!:smash: Honestly, on occasion, I will fib about a location to someone who I believe to be a real yahoo! For the most part, I am pretty forthcoming to people who give me the same deal. Always lie at the b & t when I weigh in about location though, don't want it to get into print even though someone rolled me on a location not too long ago!:laugha:

I don't even tell the women I love where I'm catching. She might bump into someone in the market the next day, and I don't want her to have to lie. So I don't tell her. After every lunar cycle I give her a month update of how I did and where I fished and with what. I present it to her in two forms: one is quantitative, written in tabulation on the computer, with catch-per-unit-of effort(CPU) graphes; and the other is an qualitative written account, which she can read in the tub, if she likes. I love her but I would hate for her to talk to someone knowing full well that I caught a keeper the night before at the Light on a rigged eel. The burden would be too much for her to bear.

I said," You Lie,Your Feet Stink, and You Don't Love Jesus!"

Absolutely,

Like canalratt said, sometimes you just don't tell the whole truth. If that's lying, I do it all the time.

And it depends on the parties involved... if I'm sittin' in my honey-hole and someone comes by and asks, "you ever get anything here" ... am I going to say "yes, I get 'em here all the time, usually big ones and this is what I use."

I'd be a pretty big idiot to do that. I'd probably say,"I get 'em here from time to time"... or something like that.

But if someone I know comes along, I'd probably give some more details.

But as far as numbers and size, I don't see alot of point in that.

So I pretty much lie downward... or lie to protect a spot. I don't lie upward to try and make myself look better. I'm not trying to impress anyone.
