Those commercial rod-and-reel guys who fish Block Island from a boat alone at night are scary good.

Great point Joe. I wonder how many of the surf guys who denegrate the boat guys would run to the Block at night alone.
I really tired of the boat vs. surf BS. I did the surf for 40 years. I've done the boat for 3. Sure it's easier in the boat but a 60 is a 60 and I don't care where you caught it. It's huge accomplishment. |
No boat, back in the suds.

No, "Fishaholic"... a clown is someone who freely calls other people "clowns," for nothing more than having an (educated/ experienced/ valid) opinion that differs from his own! 
ESP. when it's based upon a "personal" stupid 'Net grudge-- still fresh I'm sure in some memories here: you I recall called me a "clown" then because I was anti- burning G'berry... & you were "pro" doing so ('cause you never fish there?...). Yup-- you sure showed me a "clown" then I guess! (Or was it vice- versa... thus the continued hen- pecking/ grudge you do so well? 
As to here... fine, at worst I shouldn't move this "congrats" thread to a "discussion" one-- but my opinion stands! And I know many others here would share it... so they can all wear your "clown" label too I guess?  I'll be bigger than you: I refuse to escalate your "feud" w/ me for again then being right!
As for topic: congrats to any who land a 60+ obviously! But you FaH can celebrate & admire the catches YOU wish to-- Umbrella or Yo- Yo landed or Commercial/ for $, or whatever...
AND I'll continue to celebrate the catches of MY "heros"/ most admired Striper guys! (i.e., M. Malenovsky, 64 lb. from Montauk Lights' rocks... T. Coleman, 67 lb. (  ) from the SHORE of Block! (NOT a bigger feat? Back in the pre- 80 lb. Braid days?)... Our own DZ, not one but two 50's on plugs from Shore there too... T. Cee, 57 lb. just a few years ago from Cape sand full of Seals!... T. Szetzko, 73 ( ) from same sand many years before... etc.! 
Everybody else: hold your opinions here on S-B & just Post blandly... lest FaH call your thoughts "clownish!"

the true clown is the one who is dependent on cathing big fish on live bait only from shore or boat and considers a snag hook "fishing with artificials" 
A 62 lb bass is a rare catch indeed and is worthy of acclaim regardless of how it was caught. |

Now Nebe... (hey! hope my modded Darters are doing well for you!)
WHO possibly could you be referring to? (sounds like inside info.?)
Me... I don't call anyone a clown!
(At least not 'till they set up right next to me on an otherwise uncrowded Beach!... or mug me from their boat when I've found a daytime shore- bite, etc.) |

I've never been one to hold my opinion, and in mine, you're 0-3 in your self-assesment of your opinion--I find it (ignorant/ inexperienced/invalid).
But that's just my opinion.
Bland? Moi? If you think that's flaming, you should have come along the internet in my "glory days" on another website. |

Never looking to "flame" Mike... Just trying to Post something interesting occasionally... how about you? 
You're right Mike & cronies: a 60+ from a boat on bait at night behind Block is right there with a 67 from shore there on Wood (or TWO 50's on plastic from there... or a 57 on Wood from the Cape in '05)... etc! 
I was totally off- base to suggest otherwise! I apologize for my uninformed opinion! 
Sorry all! Back to your congrats thread!  |
