It is to bring fisherman together to share tips and stories. Not to start wars and name calling. The 5 of us had never met or fished with each other before this site and look at what came out of it. These pics are there to show what is capable if you just get out and fish and make some friends along the way. All of us shared some memorable moments and stories that I am sure we will never forget. Fishing with new people in new areas is something that I enjoy because I learn a lot. I learn about people and the way they fish. Some people do not have the open personality to be able to do this, that is too bad because they are missing out on what is important about fishing.

I couldn't agree with you more. For many of us fishing is about solitude and in many ways it's a meditation on what's possible; is that fish of a lifetime looking at my plug, eel, etc. and how can I trick her into a possibly fatal mistake that she's never made before. But the best time isn't spent with the fish; it's spent with others who understand that solitude. My best memories aren't really about the fish, but are about the fishing, and the best of those are with others I shared it with. That's what I remember. You guys are gonna have some great ones
