....I honestly believe that if you TRULY feel that way about fishing.......you REALLY shouldn't be fishing. Sorry

DZ.....like RIJimmy said, the term COW is used SO
freely now-adays and on any sized fish - giving the word no meaning to me, when I see a nice fish, that's exactly what I call it,,, a NICE fish.
Although I do refer to big Tautog as HOGS....
