S-B site is the best!
I appreciate this site so much, the friends made here are real people who are some of the nicest people around. I also want to thank John for making it possible. I found this site more than 15 years ago and still check it just about every day, most time more than once a day.
I want to give thanks to a certain friend/fishing partner who stepped up to bat for me recently regarding a large purchase I made. He got me a large savings and I want you all to know how much it is appreciated. Good friends are hard to come by. Thank you! I won't mention any names but thank you again, you are VERY thoughtful.
I sometimes am amazed at the things the members do here for each other. It is a great community we have here and I don't take it for granted. I try to give back when I can also, so thank you to all those who really care.

I don't get on the site or contribute much anymore, but I agree with what ProfessorM posted. I've made lots of friends on this site and learned a ton from some really good fishermen. I miss the old days and some of the flame wars, but it's still a nice little online community. Thanks JR!

Most guys on this site are certainly worthy of anything you can do to help, because if anyone else ever need anything they'd all be in line to help.
|
Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

I've met a lot of great people through this site as well and from a purely fishing standpoint, this site has some of best fishermen on the east coast IMO.

This site does so many good things on so many levels. First and foremost, it's a great source of information from the many great fisherman that interact here. Even though I have years in the surf, I'm constantly learning new tips, and tricks, that I can apply to my own style.
Secondly, it's a site full of just good, compassionate people who genuinely care about each other and are always looking to help each other out, during any struggle they may be enduring. I have been dealing with my wife's ongoing battle with breast cancer, and have had dozens of well wishes, and PM's from guys here offering us help. Many I know, or will soon, but some are just wishing us their best, or offering thoughts and prayers. We have been touched deeply by the support of everyone, thank you.
Thanks to John for your hard work here, you truly have something wonderful. I will be a member here for many years to come, and thanks to all who make this site great.

If I'm not mistaken, I was member 59. I had a real, visceral fear of bassmaster when I joined...mostly because I livelined herring.
The first member trip I went on was with Chris L and the specialist. Billy's car broke down at Bass Hole and we ended up fishing the jetty at West Dennis beach.
I spent two great trips to Cuttty, thanks to Ross. They were good times. I was standing on Clammers boat right before he crushed his lower unit...I think he threw me off on purpose.
I've met some great people, like Bruce M. (and Danny), Kevin J, Ross, TDF, Big Fish, Raven, 5/0. redlite, Krispy, Casey and Kacie, Clamma, striper ted (the Enforcer) and if I missed you I'm sorry.
I would have never bought the $1000 of ice fishing gear that is in my cellar if it wasn't for the Fabbit's.
The TFCTFN's are the best. I don't know if they make any money for John, but they really make me feel like I do something good.
In short, this site got me through a two month off period that I had after knee surgery in 2000. Nobody takes things too seriously. Like Skip, I check the site every day.
OK, that's it for me. I'm watching the Replacements documentary on Amazon TV.
Love,
Rick

Agree, Slip. Some of the guys have become my best friends, even though I don't see them much. How ever when I speak to or get to see them it seems like we just pick up where we left off, like we've always known each other.
Solid people who I have been blessed to know. I could never forget what the people who have done things for me, and Thank John for making it possible. |
