Guys I get It I am by far the least PC person on the planet. I know when you use that word you are throwing an insult to someone who does not fall in the category. However if you spend time with an individual with special needs regardless of who they are the word starts to work its way as far as possible from your vocabulary. It is what it is. But at some point in time utilizing a word like that as an insult you have to realize that people with special needs might hear that word muttered about them under others breath or to their face etc. the word takes on a whole new level of ignorance.

Thank you Jackbass. It bothered me also - I never thought I'd see those words here.

Likewise. I'm regularly surprised that people still use that word.

(also very far from politically correct).

pictures can be decieving... I've had pictures of 20lb class that looked like they were 50+.... I've had pictures of fish in the high 50's that looked every bit of it... fish in the low 50's that looked like they were 30lbs.... some one posted an old picture here ( from 1986)of me in Surfland with my 61... imediatly there were several "photo shop" claimes... why because the picture was black and white... the original is on the "big boy" wall in surfland ( a long with 4 other 50+ fish pictures of mine)every one needs to chill... as others have said if it is "fraud" they will have to live with it... it's fishing season... time for everyone to step away from the computer and fish.. i know i have..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
