Then quit trying to come across as one!

There are folks on here who have fished more days than you can ever imagine, and done so with much success. You have ZERO idea who you are preaching to and even less idea what their credentials are. You'd be much better off listening more and speaking less. And quoting print is a total waste of time. Real world experience trumps paper every time. I've never seen a fish that read these books either.

This will be my last post to you on this "debate" because no matter what is said you have some sort of comeback touting deep water fishing and how that is the best way to catch big fish. Well ..... it is NOT always that way.

End of story.

I’m sure these guys are better fishermen than me, better at presenting a lure to the fish, I never claimed to be super fisherman, and obviously much better and smart with the electronics, I don’t even know which way is up, we can all improve, and broaden our horizons, there’s more to it than busting banks and fishing the scattered 5 percent in the shallows, that’s all I’m saying

Supposed be friends on here, why all this competition, there’s plenty of lake and lakes for everyone, most guys hide these secrets, some like me are generous and want everyone to catch a bunch. No one is forcing you to believe it, or even to read it. But knowledge is the key to consistent success, no one can deny that! No reason to be offended, or to have an attitude, just cos you don’t know about something doesn’t mean it’s not true! Live and learn say I, I wish someone should teach how they fish jigs, i could learn a thing or two, love them finesse jigs but I’m no expert.

You lost your expectation of friendliness a long time ago in this thread with the ignorant bumpkins comment!

Want to share you experiences, well please do. Show us your cast to catch proof of your deep water prowess. Prove all of us ignorant bumpkins wrong!

Or are you really just a lonely troll who's been cooped up in isolation for way too long

Post some photos. A picture is worth a thousand words. So by now, there should be dozens of pix!

It’s math. The lake record does not mean there are 100s of carbon copies of that fish in the lake. The larger the fish, the fewer there are of that size in the lake.
