RHM's Thread Hijack: official world record for Greg Myerson

[WoodyCT]

When I first read/heard of RHM I was taken aback by the nonsense and self promotion he spewed. "MY rock!" "MY pencils!" "Me, me, me..." Then I saw how he made wholehearted efforts to help new anglers or others from outside of RI who were venturing near His Rock. I thought, "maybe he isn't that bad of a guy..."

Then I met him at the water's edge, and he was very open with information and tips. But he did blow his own horn in the process. Nevertheless, I tried to base my thoughts of Mike on what I saw in person, not what I read/heard said.

OK. So time goes by, RHM morphs into Surfsharpei, he and Mr. Dodge fight like cats and dogs, and Mike gets a 6 month ban from SOL. Things get quiet. I see Mike at Watch Hill Outfitters on occassion and we talk plugs and plug building. Again, I overlook his horn blowing and effusive pride at his ability to copy a bottle darter. No problem.

So Surfsharpei runs his course and wakes up as One Cast Mike one morning. No worries. Same old Mike I suppose.

And then he blows his own horn about HIS 'proto' plug that is supposedly the hottest plug in RI. Come on Mike. You copied a North Bar bottledarter in wood.

AND THEN LAST NIGHT'S UNPROVOKED, VICIOUS, SELF PROMOTING ERUPTION OF SHIITE HIT THE WEB...

Mike - Please get help and learn what demons cause you to do what you do and be the way you are.

Until then, best of luck to you.

And, North Bar makes them in wood themselves.

If it's that easy catching a fish like that from a boat, I would gladly let RHM take my boat and catch a fish of that magnitude by any means he likes. Hell, bring home even a 50 lber and you can keep the boat as a prize Mike.
