you guys are killin me

[Motor Fish]

JohnR hit the nail on the head. After reading through all of this twice, I believe 247 is looking for some additional ideas / quotes / publicity for the book.

[stripers247]

not my intent to dictate, Point taken. Intellegent discourse is healthy. Your right everyone has their opinion. I'd like to win some of the naysayers to his side. I think he is misunderstood. Your right and I am totally biased. No one has approached that record since and no fish has encountered as much scrutiny. I dont know if I posted this already
"It was the most examined fish they ever had. The went to painstaking detail of fact . This fish was under a magnifying glass since it went to Cambells shop. I caught the fish and put it in his freezer box and that was the last I ever seen of the world record.
They Named him Bert the Bass because he was gonna be examined as a patient and needed a name. Dr Nomi and Demayo were bone doctors in Northfield or sommers point New Jersey. sombody named it bert the bass but it should have been Alberta because it was a female. The two Drs. with their medical licenses and reputations at hand to examine this fish and pronounce with the xrays beyond a reasonable doubt the fish had no foreign matter it was all cartiledge flesh bones and scales. 78 .8 pounds'.

I hope you guys enjoyed the story and I appreciated the feedback.

I read the "The Real Story" in the SWS magazine and I didnt' see it as a negative read.... .....what appeared negative to me, was the way you <<stripers247>> posted about the same story. You depicted him as a poor thing looking for sympathy, NOT the story in SWS.

What was the point of your post?





Before you answer that question, and I may be wrong - BUT - I think your advertising for the near future. If so, step up and do it responsibly. IMO

[stripers247]

I didnt post the same story. The catch is the story in SWS. And who said the SWS was a negative read. It is an amazing story of the catch. I thought it was terrific. This story is the aftermath of the catch and some of it will be alluded to in the October editionof SWS. If you read Dibenedetos chapter about Al in "on the run". It is a real monkeys paw story.
Please don't misconstrue the facts.

Al said that i would be subject to this. This is his story not mine. And yes the publicity is generating interest fro Al and he has finally been invited to speak and do interviews for fees.

Bravo!!

[beachwalker]

did he whisper that into your ear before you kissed him goodnight ?

[stripers247]

Negativety and jealousy. doesnt end.

247, what are you trying to get out of all of this? I mean, I dont understand what this is all about dude. Everybody has sob stories, but your making the man out to be a complete looser. Definitley not helping Al in any way with all this nonsense your typing. Just let it go.

[stripers247]

I dont give half a dump what you think.

The SWS is a great story of the catch. Not negative or sad at all.

What do you think stripers247 stands for. This is what we are. This is what I am stripers 247.
What do you think my motive is?

My intent isnt to get you guys mad .
If it was a blue or a flounder we wouldnt even be discussing this.


Because it is a record that has'nt been broken in 23 years it is quite a compelling story. years later why is everybody so angry or jealous still? I find that part facinating.
Al hasnt had a mail box or a web site before to tell the story. He would like to answer all the questionss and make personal apperances and fish with guys who would like to go fishing with him. And judging by the his loaded email box I think there is an awful lot of positive support for the man. Which Im very pleased about.
If a couple of Bozos think its a negative portrayal. so be it. Go catch a fish.

This is fun for me, and until I, m banned from a silly web forum. I will keep responding to the BS.

Now that's the best idea I've read yet .........I wonder how Al appreciates you USING him and his story for your own personal gain.....or have you manipulated his mind into thinking that your actually fighting for him and not just getting some exposure for yourself.

YOur friend bob -


Your motto is what? stripers247 ???then why the hell aren't you fishing right now? Or are you .....just in a different kinda ocean.

Did you know that if a fella named SAM married a gal named PAM, they could call their kids ?

This is the biggest bunch of goofs I could have been talking to.

LMAO
Im an internet comedian not a goof ! I came in 33rd on last comic standing .

OK, you are really going out of your way to be a jackass here aren't you?

So the article paints a much better picture than the crap you posted here today? I will still read the article but I have less faith in it the more and more you show your true colors around here. You got what you wanted, more traffic, a little notoriety and some more exposure. Hmmm, seen this all before . You did not come here to set the record straight, you came here for the same reason you came here the last time =

HOPEFULLY, you will not have give Al WORSE trouble because of your antics here and seeing that you are such a class act, other places as well. The more and more that this thread unwinds, the more you look like a jackass and you probably couldn't give a crap if that reflects on Al McReynolds one way or the other. I just hope you are not just one more in a long line of people with the intenion of screwing Al for your benefit. Hmmm, the fish does it again, eh?

What do you think stripers247 stands for.
This is what we are. This is what I am stripers 247.

Stand for? Spewing crap on other Striper sites 24 /7 ? Certainly not any kind of balance in the finer points of Netiquette. Let's see, we'll spam another bigger fishing site, generate some extra hits at Al's expense, and then we'll piss off everyone and still smell like a rose.... I've seen this often before and if it is what I think it is, you are lower than bluefish scum. I really hope I'm wrong but I doubt it...

My intent isnt to get you guys mad .

Fortunately those record holders have not had jerks acting on their behalf.

Because it is a record that has'nt been broken in 23 years it is quite a compelling story. years later why is everybody so angry or jealous still?

You think people are jealous? Today? Most of us are in awe of that.

Al hasnt had a mail box or a web site before to tell the story. He would like to answer all the questionss and make personal apperances and fish with guys who would like to go fishing with him.

I'd like to fish with him. Say hello, wet a line. Great territory to fish up there too - SandSled or Rock Hopping, colder deeper water in tight to shore too. Bass country. You know, if I ever did fish with you Al - I wouldn't need to put it on the front page of the site and post it on every forum in every corner of the interblab... But hey, that's me. I've learned my lessons there.

Jim - you fish with Al yet? Do you fish?

And judging by the his loaded email box I think there is an awful lot of positive support for the man. Which Im very pleased about.

Good for him

If a couple of Bozos think its a negative portrayal. so be it. Go catch a fish.

I think it is a sad story, that I've seen before in a few places, plus On The Run (where DiBenedetto establishes himself as much more a class act than you have), and StriperSurf had something at one point. Anyway, if you think that we, as members of this site are putting a negative spin on this. I see little to show me people here trashing Al. I see some questions, some people not convinced yet, and I see more than a few people very supportive and sympathetic of the guy. The biggest negative I've read so far is the crap that you're pouring - independent of what Al is saying.

This is fun for me, and until I, m banned from a silly web forum. I will keep responding to the BS. [/B]

You're shoveling the BS pretty good on your own and I'm getting tired of letting little Jimmy play in this sandbox. You disrespect others and stir crap and I sincerely believe you are doing this for YOUR gain with YOUR site and Al is getting screwed. Yet again, because of that fish, someone taking advantage of him. I SINCERELY hope that you're just being a RICHARD here and are going to treat Al honestly but I'm not convinced of that.(I really want to swear here but seeing that I just banned swearing, again, &^$#@ &*%^$# ...)

Now, as being the chief cook & bottlewasher, I could bounce this guy but being that we're a "silly web forum", all us angry and jealous people can vote to send OpticalRectumitis247 on his merry little way... Purely from a registration rules standpoint he's broken a few.

For Al McReynolds - 247 mentioned that you have an access to e-mail. YOU can feel free to e-mail me any time. And I'm being sincere when I wonder if Jim Hannan is someone else just taking you for a little joy ride. Hopefully he is a stand up guy in your case. I've been doing this occasionally stupid "fishing internet" website stuff for 7 years and have owned and run my own site now for over 4 years. I've seen a lot of people with agendas or plans like Jim come and go. Keep one hand on your family jewels and the other on your wallet. Good luck and regardless what Jim Harran says, we're not out to throw you under the bus, hopefully he is not either. Maybe he treats you and others well and honestly - but around here, he's an idiot.

[kippy]

Well said John. I vote to bounce this guy and his bs..

Buh Bye!

[stripers247]

Jealousy rears its ugly head.

OpticalRectumitis247 Please with the psuedo intellectual ramblings. You will hurt yourself.

Inflammation of your eyes and a**hole?

For your information Dibenedetto wrote a chapter on Al and a magazine article. Al got paid nothing.

Stripersurf is Bob D'amico whom Al speaks highly of.
At least Al got paid a stipend for my interview.s. Email him and ask him. He said you guys wouldnt turn him down for interviews And this is his idea Mr Jonny.


People are gonna fly off your ship like working birds when they read your comments. They don't need any one to interpret for them especially some one with your inflated ego.

Screw you . You wont have to bounce me. I'll see you in the rear view mirror.

tight lines.
