Don't take this the wrong way....But If I was the Angler, or IGFA for that matter.....I really wouldn't give a rats ass what somebody, who I've never met or is out on the internet, cares about the validity of the fish.
Would not lose one minutes sleep over it....
I would know....and thats good enough for me....
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
Yeah TDF, what would you do with sposorships and appearance fees,speaking engagements,etc. that go with IGFA validity?He should have put it back I guess.Skip the potential new boat and stay locked on S-B with all of your internet buddies debating how a flag should be displayed.Anonymity is good.

TDFs comments were aimed at Rizzo who was saying he wont believe it unless its cut open. I believe (and shouldnt speak for him) that DadF is agreeing with you. Its Myerson and the IFGAs thing to work out and they will not be concerned with what some people on the web may say.
Now relax and have a cupcake.

pretty much....although I wasn't really aiming it at Rizzo....I was really just trying to generalize it.

WOW....talk about totally mis-understanding what I wrote...unless you just want to argue for some reason. (that is so unlike you )
My Point was.... If it were me I really wouldn't care that someone, that I don't know or never met, didn't believe me.....what does that matter to me.....I'd go for the record from IGFA and If I know what I did was right.....and they say I did it right....I'm not going to lose any skleep over some anonymous person doubting me.
You don't know me.....and I think you are an ass....do you care.....I'm thinking no.
now if a bunch of my flag-waving internet buddies also think you're an ass....well then that might be different.....then again probably not.

Proof that people usually will resort to name calling when their debate has no merit.Well done wordsmith!

Did I miss something.....what were we debating?
I thought a debate was when two people take opposing sides of an argument.
I was on the same side as you.......but in the Magic mind of Dangles you just saw it as another opportunity to start some Internet Chit......You are a piece of work sometimes....you really are.
I guess that since the usual cast of characters that you like to "Internet Box" with aren't arguing with you these days...its my turn.
Hey, Guess what...just proves my point...
I don't Know You, Never met you.....and I really don't give a rats ass what you think.....I won't lose any sleep over it
Ironic......

No, but its ifga's process and ifga's record. You have problem with their process. I can understsnd that but all their records have been consistently verified and on your view, all flawed Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Yeah - nothing against IGFA, they're recognized as the record authority, have a lot of experience handling situations like these. Thats just a flaw I see, especially when you're talking heaviest fish on record. The bigger tourneys that have to deal with big $$$ your subject to a lie detector test. I guess that if someone even provided a fish that hasn't been tampered with, its supposed to determine if you netted the fish or caught it before the tourney started. But lie detectors arent perfect...
I'd like to see the gutting be added to catches like this - but its not easy to make this change happen. I know many guys on this board are fine with the credibility of the catch, but i know just as many who do not believe it. It would really help someone gain credibility in this case.
As far as IGFA line class records go, thats a different discussion...
Im so pumped to see fish like this taken. I was just speaking to a friend yesterday about it. Another die hard guy. Never even a mention about it being a hoax or weighted or this or that. Just 2 guys talking about a giant bass. Thats why I enjoy the friends I have...... High caliber. Just fish, never show pictures, never speak of spots, never travel in daylight hours and have class ..... People will always try to discredit someone who does better than them. I consider the source. Milk comes from a cow, fish come from the surf and Bullsh1t always comes from some ass. I say congrats.
northeasts best bowhunting and outdoor adventures. Now on the Pursuit network.
IJust fish, never show pictures, never speak of spots,
Just have a TV show on the pursuit network instead, right
