Difference is, their deep down attitude towards fishing is a means of getting attention and looking cool, and Facebook is the way to get that. "Look at me, I caught a 20-lb striper during a blitz!", and they're hoping to get a pat on the back and some comments from a bunch of people that now think fishing is cool because it's all over the idiot box. Take that #^&#^&#^&#^& away and they're nothing more than wannabes. I miss when fishing was for oddballs.
