I do agree with some of what you are saying Bill, but while you may judge a fisherman(woman) by what they catch, you also insinuate that the people here should be judged only by their qualities of being purely a fisherman. I know several people that come to these boards and in Fisherwoman and Baitcaster with whom I fish often, I can say that they are excellent anglers. The best? Probably not in terms of the most aggressive, big fish, world record chaser that you strive to be. Probably not the schoolie kings either. But in their passion and enthusiasm for fishing for stripers and their knowledge of this area and willingness to mix it up with some stripers, yeh, they're pretty top notch. Maybe you'll get your wish and get a chance to fish with some of these people and that will change your mind. Expand your mind and meet other interesting people that share this enthusiasm that you have. Juls is probably more enthusiastic about striper fishing than you. Respect people for who they are, not hown many keepers they have landed this month. And if they deserve a verbal kick in the teeth, give it. But don't judge others as inferior people if they haven't had the sucess that you've had.... Again, this is not the Bill Nolan board, Relax Francis....
