I'm a serial lurker...log on almost every day now for several years.
I'll try to keep to short sentences due to spacing issue.
One thing about this site is that there are a LOT of very, very good fishermen.
That is particularly true among the most frequent posters.
So, while everyone can always learn, there tends to be more "what I did" than "how to do it".
For me, that's great...I love hearing the fishing stories, reports, etc.
Part of fishing is the characters...there are lots here, and that's what I like.
I do miss the #^^^^^^& days...combination of entertaining character and great fisherman.
And personally, I love the pics.
I keep less than a fish a year on average, just a personal choice.
But if/when I get my 50, you'll see the pic up here...bank on it.
Or, for that matter, over 40 lbs and the pic probably goes up (boat fish don't count).
In summary, everyone, have a thick skin. And if you don't, it generally makes good reading.
A lot more is right with this site than is wrong...IMHO.
Carry on, and thanks for everyone who throw up the entertaining posts.
