Well, There were 12 posts calling me a liar. Not one post thanked me or chimed in to call these A-Holes out.It is always the same posters on this and other sites that think if they cannot catch fish in harsh conditions,then no one can. I am not a guide or a pro. I have Bass fished my whole life and know a thing or two. To be called a liar by so many after a post is well,it makes you wonder if they are really fisherman.I will just sit back and read.Thanks anyway.

I'm not a lurker or reader by any means and post quite frequently...Not a great fisherman but I post about what little I know....I had a pretty good day at Dale last year and posted about it, had a guy completely question what I caught....While I did have one or two step up and take my side, it kinda irritated me a little bit....Why would I tell a bold faced lie to a bunch of strangers to try and make myself look good....After thinking about it, I just kinda laughed....It's the internet and people get a little more ballsy with their comments when sitting behind a keyboard than they would face to face....You just gotta have thick skin and overlook those that don't know any better...The guy said if I had caught what I caught that I'd have pictures and this and that....Didn't say it until a couple days later but I did have pictures and did post them....He shut up
