The guy who pulled a gun on him was the one who told him the skin mount was trashed. We dont know the whole story yet and you have rushed to judgement.
I told him about the spam and he laughed. I said I didnt know about any forum protocol and  got knocked around for it. abused really. Since that time I have continued with my site and the reason it was started in the first place was a passion for the striped bass that I know we both share.

Jim (that's your name right?), I don't take it so seriously, I take life seriously and living seriously but typing about fishing on the Internet, while fun and diversionary, is more than a few steps down from family (and fishing
) and no substitue for having your feet in the suds. I have NOTHING against Al, no grudeges, no disrespect for a guy that holds the world record. Wouldn't know him if he fowl hooked me with a cod jig. All I said was that problems in one's life cannot all be the result of a fish. If his family loves him and he in return, he's richer than a lot of people.
I wish him well and if people have screwed him, I hope he gets his due.
BTW - glad you got a real board, nothing but problems with those public ezboard things....

If your site grows and gets big over time (I'll trade you Bassmaster for some old tin jigs
) you'll know what its like to get people dropping links all over the place. Just gets old. We're not even big here ( maybe too big
) but we're big enough to get inundated with crap..
Don't take it so seriously.
Slapshot - you can get insurance for ANYTHING
WeeWee - I guess YOU qualify for being able to catch a world record (but there is that skilz thing
)
