There is an unwritten code of conduct and its interpretation is not fixed. There is no paint-by-numbers explanation for anything in this game – it’s part of the mystique.
With some notable exceptions, most of those who have reputations as big fish catchers fished the pre-moratorium era. And while big fish have never been easy to catch, there are younger surfcasters out there who are great - yet they have they not gotten a 50, simply because there are even fewer now.
Jenny wrote of the passion, and Bassmaster broke it down with respect to technique and fishing protocol.... both are correct. I think a person should have the respect of their fellow anglers simply by being a good sportsman/woman. That should be enough.
