This thread reinforces my desire to fish alone. I know none of you, and based on what I've read.....you frighten me!
The lack of civility, needless name calling (implied or otherwise) and chest thumping is quite sad. Have I learned anything about the idea, good or bad, of tournament casting or fishing? Perhaps a little, but I mostly learned that those with the strongest opinion's are hard to listen to and if they had any good idea's - it was buried in hyperbole and ego.
I participate (lurk mostly) in a few DB's depending on the hobby and all of them have this affliction to a certain extent. However, flyfisher's seem to be the most opinionated of them all. There is more black and white here, less give and take and sadly enough, given the stereotype of the flyfisherman, less respect. It's about dialouge.
BTW, I'm 53 with an 20 year olds heart, a lousy caster and worse fisherman, never shared a table with Lefty, I purchase stuff from Kienes and Orvis and Cabela's, don't like crowds but love to see people catch fish, can't tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat, drive a small car.....and a big one, have a vise I never use......
Did I miss anything?
