Interesting, because several of your posts ended with a taunt about "if you catch a 60, can I go fishing with you, please", or something like that.

"If that's how you measure people, kudos to you my friend...."

Again, you are the one who kept mentioning whether or not one has caught a 60, not me. Don't put your inane opinions on me, OK?

Bloo, the funny thing is that I think I agree with you on this issue (I keep the occasional fish for the grill). But unlike you, I listen to those who disagree with me to see if I can learn something, I don't immediately insult them.

Jim, you'd think with as many times as I typed that, you'd finally figure out that it was a smart a$$ remark. The last person I asked to take me fishing was my father. Since then, I've either been the invitee, or the invitor. I don't need anyone to take me fishing. You're reading too far into nothing. I am a joker, ...and no, sometimes I'm not funny. To sum this up, Sweetwater's remark had nothing to do with me, should I have kept my "insult" to myself?...don't know, don't care...I replied on instinct. :P
..and in regards to respecting other's catches or "the mark of a man" as you poetically put it, let me just say, I don't respect the guy that's out there day in - day out, could have dozens of 50's, and a handful of 60's.....a few 70's and an unbelievable surf caught 100# bass. If he neglects his family, his children, his head of household responsibilities because of his obsession, ....he gets no respect from me. Sorry, that's where my priorities lie.
Fishing is,,, for the most part, still fun for me. Sure at times the challenge I place on myself overcomes the fun, but it doesn't take long before I realize I'm driving outside the lines again.

Jim, I hope you get that 60 this year. I hope you start a thread and direct it at me. I will congratulate you while at the same time, bust your ballz. Sorry...that's me. I think you'd enjoy fishing with me, but hey...that's just me.
