...somebody found it funny. I was beginning to worry that my attempt at humor was going over like a lead balloon. I thought surely the absurdness of my posts would be a dead giveaway to their falseness. I thought the URL for that picture matching the URL for my avatar image would give me away but I just had to post the picture. Rob, did you notice that the halibut is the one you caught at Goleta off the stairs?

In all fairness Rob (or Jamon) a good deal of inspiration came from the Barni Zone. Does the phrase, "...is a weekend angler who thinks he is the legendary bassmaster and knows all there is to know about fishing." ring a bell? There you go! I've always loved the Barni Zone.

I guess was also trying to make a point. I don't mean to offend anyone but let's think about it folks. It is rediculous to come to a message board you've never been to before and instantly start ranting and raving about how great you are and expect all the regulars to take you seriously. Most fishermen I have met are very humble and are sponges for fishing information - not the other way around. We all know that there is always something more to learn about fishing - that's what makes it fun!

Developing a reputation for being good fishermen over time by posting informative reports, helpful information, nice pictures, etc. is how you become a true "king".
