bloocrab,
1- Never call someone you don't know a liar. But since this was my first post, I'll let ya off the hook.

2- re: doubleheader: he had a fish on one rod, then the second went screeming and our other friend reeled in the fish (Steve's gear, rigs, baiting and cast, so I gave Steve the "run").
3- How he held up two fish? We landed them literally within 30 seconds of each other.
4- Looking dry: We weren't at the beach. Should I have said, "shore-fishing"? And he/we did walk into the water if you look at his feet. We were fishing the western sound surf/shore in NY - parts of which do not have sand. Do you know this area?
5- Fish released: We revived both of them (as well as the other 3) and were released.
6- Do all newbies to the board get the 3rd degree upon their 1st post?
7- If you're done cross-examining my post, how about some input re: my original question?
