I did take note of the pfd's and the rafts... since my daughter was born, I tend to think of these things alot more since what I do greatly affects her... swimmer, are you a preacher or something? Alot of the posts I remember (admittedly, I don't read every thread) seem to be preaching at us about something or other.

I remember being fairly tweaked when you made some broad comments about catch & release one time... myself being someone who releases 99% of what I catch and who switched to circle hooks hoping to reduce gut hooks.

I agree with your message, but whether you realize it or not, your delivery comes off as very condescending. Especially since you rarely post.

Just my $.02... please take it for just that.
