I think some people need to take the foot off the gas a little.

RHM/OCM/SFM - I'm not keenly aware of your history "over there" but the few instances I've seen here follow the same theme of fish that appear smaller (lots) than the claim. That is the reputation that someone like me, who knows little about you, quickly gets from others and from what little I see on your posts. And unless you're 7 feet tall, that fish ain't 40.

My honest and sincere recommendation to you is that you need to back up your statements with a little more than statements. Whether right or wrong, you are on the short end of the credibility stick and you need to calmly and coolly rectify that. That does not mean to weigh in every keeper you catch as that would be wasteful, but the few that you do keep, you might want to have slips on that are entered into an annual tournament or something. Pictures you take (at least a few I've seen) look horribly measured if not intentionally distorting.

I see some people are less than enamored with you, personally I don't have a dog in this fight. Just giving some simple and I think honest advice.

i dont think its so much as saying fish are bigger than actually are, as i think the bigger issue is entering a fish into a fun contest, that you didnt even catch.

The part that gets me is, for him to be saying these things and posting these pics, he must think we're all dumb, or maybe he's one of those guys that believes his own lies. I'm starting to think it's the latter. Mike you're a pathological liar and you need some help.

Sometimes you can lose your sense in the surf. Too many late nights in a row. I thought this was a 40 too. I'd be lucky if it went 15. The face tells the story.
