I think numbskull has it right. Myself, I don't fish to show off to others. I do it for myself because of the enjoyment I get out of it. Doesn't matter to me if others know of my accomplishments or not. When I had my boat and brought friends along, I was just as content at watching them catch.
I don't fault anyone for wanting to show off some nice catches that they're proud of though.
