This sounds like an article for a magazine ??? Maybe the "Fisherman"?

I have seen the guys you talk about...Many times, they look like idiots...Dressed to the nines with every brand name everything, spent thousands before they caught there first fish or think they fish better because somone else tells them to buy this wetsuit , wear a belt full of boga grips, pliers, hand held radios, red necklights etc, vs reels, portable borometers etc...they look like fools out of ice station zebra! They are at total war with fish! he men who have the latest and greatest of what they were told to buy! yet they have no clue what the wind is doing...oops, Forgot that one!
Then the guy walks off the beach in hip boots and grundens hauling a 40 over his shoulder! Its hilarious..
These guys dont even want to touch a fish anymore! Now a boga grip is the way to land a fish! They do all of this mind you to match wits with an animal that has a brain the size of a pin head..and all that lame gear is needed to partake in this battle of real men. They exole themselves of how "hard" they fished all night to land that bass....how reaching for the boga almost had them lose ballance while they waded out 6 million yards to climb up on a rock like a baffoon to master the beast..(buying a boat is smarter in this case and can acually prolong life, but thats another story)
here is whats next...Soon there will be another gadget for there lame looking belts full of all that useless gear...It will be a med kit for fish...It will have anit-biotic shots to give the fish to treat a host of illness's they may have, they may contain narcotics to lesson the pain and suffering they caused on the fish along with this portable oxygen to get there fish back in good shape...
When you meet these people they walk around like they are holding this huge secret and you cant dare ask where they caught there large bass....Gimmie a break, as for me I could give a good cheet where anyone catches, let alone some wet behind the ears kid thinking he has pulled the wool over the eyes of a guy who has done it a million times...They dont talk, they just smirk, the whispers begin, "hey did you hear how good those guys did those two weeks in August" wow there sharpies..They have all that gear you know, they know what there doing...
Fishing is not that complicated...its all a matter of putting in the time
Yes, I too do land & release all my Bass (& Blues too) by (usually gloved) hand! I Lip even 30lb.+ Bass no problem! (unless she has a face- full of trebles!)... & release in- water usually! I would NEVER use a Boga on a Bass of any size: not because they're "uncool"/ non- traditionalist to use... but because they KILL BASS TO BE RELEASED! (Or at least up the release mortality very significantly! Think about it: 20- 30+ lbs. of weight supported by a living creatures' jaw?... & then it has to feed again soon afterward, or eventually weaken & die?
Just my 2 cents on this. I think that hooking and landing a fish puts alot more stress on the jaw than the boga grip does. It only takes a few seconds to get the reading on the scale.
sorry but there is no way in hell man will ever understand women . aint going to happen . go right back to day one with adam and eve . adam said ( being causious ) "remember what God said about eating the apples on the forbidden tree " and even knowing the outcome eve said ( with abandon ) "to hell with that " and ate one so did adam but only after being called a sissy by eve . now eons later man runs with abandon and a woman is more causious . why? she bears the scar every month and they dont want the next plague ( even worse ) to come their way . and according to my lovely wife of 24 years " there isnt anything that could be worse " .
Then like was said earlier by a moderator..Don't read it...

If ya wear a cap backwards when fishing, do ya try it on in the store frontwards first and then spin it around when ya get home or do ya try it on in the store backwards to make sure it fits and looks ok backwards ?

Billy, thats what I heard too. Seems to me if they can crush and swallow a whole adult lobster or a surf clam and then swallow it they shouldn't be feeling pain from a hook at least not as we would. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
imagine if we ate lobster like that . easier going in than coming out . ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that hurt but a perfect shell

It really is about aparences these days...Better to look good than to know how to fish...Just totally backwards from the way I learned..I love the guys who did so good last season and now they are instant sharpies because they caught some fish....it never ends
Man you can even self-publish your own book nowadays and become a ledgend! Its truley amazing what has happened to this sport we all love....The basics and true friendships are gone, the shops you spoke of where coffe was served near a fire are things I miss very much....It is truly stunning when you really take the time to look at it...Surf fishing has become a fad..the in thing to do...But for all the wrong reasons
Tuesday March 4th 2008 7:30 pm... This truly is an amazing day,the day i agree 100% with ANYTHING bill has to say,i must be getting old I can die now,i've honestly seen it all
your the first person that came to mind while i was reading #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&'s posts....sorry mr dawg
Ah yeeeess! Ignorance is BLISS, eh SS ?
Don't own Bogas, a dry top, no gaff, i caught me first twenty or so keepers on a wally world spinning combo, no gps/cell/camera/monitor gadget, no walkie-talkie, and i fish with PENN reels; incase you were wondering ?
Don't plan on publishing any books anytime soon, at least not any how-to's about surfcasting....................i'm more into writing children's books and the *fishing fantasy genre* ~*you know, "the one that got away" type stuff and "stand here, cast there" "even YOU can be a sharpie" type of chit*
hey, somebody's gotta make millions doing it ??

that is me and my pb 30" booo from last fall,
notice the hodgman's waders ($25 on sale the year before at #^&#^&#^&#^&'s), and my torn and tattered Carhart subzero coat (no drytop $$$$, yet). was gonna release it until this hombre asks if he could keep it. okay, i tell him, it's yours iff you'll snap my pic. small price to pay i thought.
that was a FUN catch, workin it thru the wash and around the reefs.
i'd prolly target boooooos more, if they could all be that big or bigger .
don't have much use for the little ones.
the dots in the sky are what happens when yer throwaway Kodak gets soaked more than once during the course of a season. that was also snapped for Skitterpop's benefit. wanted to show him *my bluefeesh weilding expertise*. that is from where you obtained that pic, no?

Not to HiJack, or put words in Steve's mouth, but the argument against bogas is the stress on the fish when hanging OUT of the water; in the water, fighting it, the body weight of the fish isn't handing from jaw. Especially with larger fish.

I read a lot of books, and I was thumbing through an old fishing almanac. According to distribution charts, Redfish range as far north as Massachusetts (in the summer). Now I've done plenty of redfishing in South Carolina, but have any of you heard/seen or landed Redfish this far north?

Never heard of them this far North but it wouldn't suprise me. We never saw Mahi this far North until the last 10 years. Same with Cobia, Spanish Mackeral, a few other Southern fish that the guys are getting off of the Block and even close, during the Summer.
...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
