62lb caught south of the block....

Gunpowder... ... no one here even remotely called Mark a "clown!" (or anything else...) This is why careful reading of what people write here is important before passing judgments... & hitting "save!"

... AS that "major contributor" here FaH chose to do! As you see... HE was the only one throwing around the "clown" insult like a typical third Grader who only cares about his own opinions!


Mark is obviously a hardcore & thus one of "us"-- no one was negative about him at all! Just was a lament here about how exciting & what big news that big gal would have been at the end of one of our lines while shorebound & fishing (lighter) surf- tackle, was all... (Wasn't looking to cause controversy-- I didn't even participate in that "Surf vs. Boat" thread now going on!)


FaH: -- no surprise your Post as usual is few to no words, nor of any general interest: I just read (skimmed) your last 50 here on S-B... & let's just say, "where's the beef?"

Nice that you have "hot" celeb. chicks pics at the ready on your Computer like that... I WONDER what you use those for when not launching infantile attacks for personal/ grudge reasons on fishing websites against strangers? (Starts with "beating" I'm guessing?...)


Me? I have a 25 yr. old GF keeping me busy... thus no chick- pics to oogle ever needed on MY computer!

uhh, yeah but Fishaholic can outfish you shore or boat, blindfolded. An d as you skimmed his 50 posts, did you see him belittle anyone's fish? I doubt it, but you felt the need to do it, so thus the "clown" title. If you need to put down others accomplishments to make you feel better, more power to you. Fishing is fishing, boat or surf.
Was it an accomplishment when your "idols" were catching trophies in the Snowstorm Bilitz? Any dolt with a rod and lure could have caught them too if they were there. Kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, no?

[LeCounts1099]

Well, RIJ... In a word: No! (& I don't accept challenges to manhood/ surf- prowess from those I don't know-- & who are obviously biased so will never judge fairly! Others I'll take on gladly!


Preparation & focus & desire & carefully maintained equipment (esp. pre- VS & ZB...) PLUS being in the right place at the right time = DZ's accomplishment that you want to diminish-- same thing you want to get on ME for?

And DZ did it on mono. & on an artificial from boulder- strewn shores that would scare the hardiest fisherman! Kudos DZ!


Cronies out of the woodwork will come here I'm sure!


Congrats Mark-- you're in the "Sixty" club! I've been working my ass off to join you for many years-- I'm just going the shore & plug route like my personal Bass "heros" did! Hey, Iron Mike!

I'd be bragging about this fish even if I found it washed up dead on the beach in the hot July sun!

Great fish, boat or sand, period. I hope I get one someday!

My exact thoughts ! Nice Fish ! Weighs the same on any scale !

Great catch there

Gunpowder, congratulate your friend Mark for me
that is a large bass and certainly a trophy , as long as it's not dragged up in a net and it's caught on a rod and reel from shore or boat ,on bait or artifitial, that is impressive in my book.

Let's make this even more polarizing - he caught it with a Van Staal

Seriously, I think we are over analyzing this. We are not talking about a situation where some person that had never casted to bass before lands a 60 at their feet by sheer luck. We are talking about someone that used a proven method from a proven platform that was lucky enough to have this fish before him and skilled enough to do something about it.

Circumstances are what are put in front of you and what you do with them plus some lady luck.

Oooops - work beckons...

[smac]

That is an awesome fish.

I would love to catch something like that from the kayak. Actually right now, ANYthing next to the kayak would be good. I lost my mojo when I moved to Mass.
