Re: Why this is the coolest forum on iBoats..
Nah Jay, fishin' trash talk is bragging/BS talk... not talking bad about or insulting someone.
My fishin' buddy always like to talk about how he's going to catch the biggest and most fish before a trip, and if he does catch a big one while we're fishin' he really starts talking s**t... and when he starts talking the most and biggest BS is when I usually catch a fish bigger than his, he'll talk it onto my line nearly every time. It's all in fun and we always get a big laugh about it.
As far as weight goes, I'm not really interested in how many lbs. a fish weighs. Usually if I do any kind of measuring on a fish I'll measure the length of it, but I don't even do that much.
The way I like to measure fish is in pictures, if it's a nice size fish it's going to look like a nice size fish in the picture... and if you don't weigh or measure it people will always guess heavier and bigger than it probably was, just like they do with their own fish.
There is one thing about fish pictures that gets me though, and that's the people that hold the fish as far away from their body as they can to try to make this fish look bigger. This is pretty dumb on their part and ruins the pic for me. You see a little body, a big fish, and huge hands.
My usual comment to this is "Dude! That fish makes your hands look HUGE!"
or ""Don't hold that fish so far away from your body, you could lose your balance fall forward and hurt yourself."
Fishin' and fish talk is always good!
