Internet fishing heroes

You'll be happy to learn it also qualifies you to liveline menhaden, chunk bunker heads, light large farts, and run for public office. But alas my child, if it is lasting fame as the Worthy of Worthies you seek then you have no choice but to forswear the feeding of fish, put off thy slimy serpents, take up the true cross of wood, cut it into 2x2x8 billets which you must turn it into the likeness of Saint Beachmaster, and flail the holy ocean in homage with them until the sins of your youth and greed are forgiven and a 50lb fish is rewarded unto you....which of course you must release. Then again, if that sounds too difficult you can always resort to excuses, lies, exaggeration, and putdowns. Works for me. Hope this was helpful and thanks for asking.

If this is an invitation to fish with you this season, I accept.
