Pete, don't let any of the nonsense get to you 
it's not worth it and it's not even nessesary to have to defend yourself. pretty sad actually.
this is a fishing website, members post pictures of fish we catch, big deal 
Maybe we need NIB to post on this thread to kill it, he's the thread killer  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I agree. Over the last 2 years I have seen some of the most knowledgeable people of our time slowly fade away from active participation on the boards because of this. I can see whay a guy like Mike is not a member - I think he knows that this kind of thing goes on and stays away on purpose - it's not conducive to his next 60. We all lose. |

Pete, don't think that way over this thread. Keep posting those great shots. Blue water is much better than Green grass.

I think Roseneath said it best. They're all staged. |

All are staged unless you have a camera crew following you around. Like you have said it is hard to find someone to take a good pic. I find it hard myself to get someone to take a good snowmobile or fishing pic. I have a ton of great pics I have taken but very few of myself.

Great fish
Many more are happy just to see BIG fish than blat.
I'm only here for the fish porn. Just like all porn, the best looking stuff IMHO is a little staged, but hey some people are into guys on couches.
I usually delete these instead of sending them.

I'm sure Mike's kids will enjoy both photos when they get older. Give the guy a break!

Pete keep the staged photo's coming. I would rather see a photo of a nice fish like the first one than one in my front yard.  |

Gear positioned just so? That's the rod, reel, plug bag, and wading belt he fishes with all the time, all year long.
The photos were taken during the morning because that's when he showed up with the fish.
It is what it is. I snapped a ton of pics (it's digital so why not) to get some good shots. It's in the running as a potential OTW cover, for the same reason I posted it here in the first place.
I think I've changed my mind about the photo gallery. #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& was right. It's not worth posting photos. Admittedly he occasionally brought some of the flak on himself when he posted pics, but still, he's completely right. He warned me no matter what the reason was that I posted a pic it would get jumped on, and I'll admit I kind of dismissed the warning. The thinking was it was just a good photo of a bass in the surf people would enjoy, which is why I liked the idea of a photo gallery for the board. Lesson learned.
|
I enjoyed the photo.I think all the naysayer's should just grow up already.An personally I hope Mike does make a few bucks doing it.I know Crazy Al Takes advantage of alot of his photo opportunities an nobody has a problem with that.I here a good fisherman gets something,anything from some reps an I like it.I would put photo's up but I'm too ugly.
Pete please don't stop just grow thicker skin.For the most part the ones complaining have no Idea what it takes.Give one night in Mikes korkers an they probably would not make it back.
By the way I got seven fish over 30 lbs this week.To 39.2
It's to bad the S-C is only one fish per week or I would have 5 fish @175 lbs. from my hand scale. |

If there was any doubt about NIB's ability to kill a thread, just add me to the mix 
I think the pic and this thread were both overanalyzed a bit (though I do prefer the pic on the grassy knoll myself) and Pete - I think you are being a little touchy about this thread. Not as bad as you think it played out...
As far as the Iron one joining the board? IIRC a couple years ago Tattoo (or IM's wife - I forget) had to type for him... Not sure even if he has a computer... |

Nice fish. I have to admit, I haven't been posting as many fish pics this year because it always seems that at least someone has something negative to say and I'm sick of defending myself. That is a pitty because this is such an awesome site, and a few jealous/bad apples can deter people from posting some pretty cool shots that otherwise would just add more awesomeness to this site. Just my 2 cents.
