You forgot the short handled gaff they seem to love to wear, when they're either a) standing in the wash, or b) perched on a rock 10' above the water. a) where the gaff isn't needed and b) where it's utterly useless  |
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Mike, I never used a gaff on the beach in my life..always gilled my fish, I have seen more guys gaff themselves than fish..
It really is about aparences these days...Better to look good than to know how to fish...Just totally backwards from the way I learned..I love the guys who did so good last season and now they are instant sharpies because they caught some fish....it never ends
Man you can even self-publish your own book nowadays and become a ledgend! Its truley amazing what has happened to this sport we all love....The basics and true friendships are gone, the shops you spoke of where coffe was served near a fire are things I miss very much....It is truly stunning when you really take the time to look at it...Surf fishing has become a fad..the in thing to do...But for all the wrong reasons

When you meet these people they walk around like they are holding this huge secret and you cant dare ask where they caught there large bass....Gimmie a break, as for me I could give a good cheet where anyone catches, let alone some wet behind the ears kid thinking he has pulled the wool over the eyes of a guy who has done it a million times...They dont talk, they just smirk, the whispers begin, "hey did you hear how good those guys did those two weeks in August" wow there sharpies..They have all that gear you know, they know what there doing...

Billy, thats what I heard too. Seems to me if they can crush and swallow a whole adult lobster or a surf clam and then swallow it they shouldn't be feeling pain from a hook at least not as we would. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Why even try.........

2 questions
Why is it that a lot of people don't seem to have fun when they fish?
Why is it that lots of people are always worried about what other people are doing when it comes to fishing. The in with the in crowd or you don't rate syndrome.

How comes sometimes after a rough night of drinking and bad food you can't tell the difference between a wet and dry fart so you just hold it until you can make it to a toilet sometimes only to be disappointed ? Man I hate that.

If I for one can answer a (somewhat) serious question asked on this Thread: addressed by Bill & DJ particularly... the Goog Belt- Gaff Wearing Caster! 
I am catch & release minded to the 99th power... that's just my choice! And yes, I catch my fair share-- every year, not just last! And, yes, I fish Surf mostly-- almost always using spinning gear if plugging or eeling-- & thus VS my choice-- for 12+ years now, again not lately! (Although, yes, I've broken them down in- field use many different ways in all that time... but I still love 'em today!)
But: as to the perennial wearing of the Belt Gaff (& lots of other necessary/ helpful/ needed accessories on my trusty/ beloved surf- Belt? )... even if in a spot too high-- or in the water-- for it's use, etc...
FIRST... THAT one always wears a belt- gaff... does not mean he ever uses it! (not that there's anything wrong with doing so if you are taking a fish to eat)...
Mine is there for the one- in a thousand trip where I'm face- to- face with my "50+"... probably in treacherous terrain! I might decide then & there to kill & keep her... or I might lip- gaff her & release... depending! (On too many variables to know what I'll do 'till that moment!) But that Gaff IS on my Belt always... though I've not ever once used it yet on my own Bass! (Yes, I did so for friends who were keeping theirs & needed my help landing it... Again, I'm all for a Surfcaster killing a Bass if putting it to good use!).
Yes, I too do land & release all my Bass (& Blues too) by (usually gloved) hand! I Lip even 30lb.+ Bass no problem! (unless she has a face- full of trebles!)... & release in- water usually! I would NEVER use a Boga on a Bass of any size: not because they're "uncool"/ non- traditionalist to use... but because they KILL BASS TO BE RELEASED! (Or at least up the release mortality very significantly! Think about it: 20- 30+ lbs. of weight supported by a living creatures' jaw?... & then it has to feed again soon afterward, or eventually weaken & die? 
SECONDLY... The surf- belt Gaff I wear (by the "Surfcaster"-- great!)... is perm.- attached to my (main) belt! Securely with metal frame & point- rest... totally safe!). It is a permanent fixture on my Belt! -- I can't say, "oh, I'm fishing too high above water today so I'll leave my gaff off my belt, etc..." Yes, it's always there when I'm fishing the Surf... for one POSSIBLE use!...
But: see me with it all the time as you may...  & wonder what you will about it/ me!... 
...for over a decade now I've carried it every minute I surf- cast, & still (on MY fish) I've never used it once yet! But I hope to need to some day not too distant!  And... If you're pulling a Cow you want to keep up the rocks next to me some day yourself... well, you might be glad too I always carry my Gaff! |
