school uniforms were instituted in some schools to prevent the "poor kids" from being ridiculed because they couldnt dress as nicely as others. An even playing field, if you will. For this reason, I will opt NOT to post my ride ...

Although I agree the vaseline did nothing to impact the fight, captain whatever is right about the NSAC having to take this seriously. I honestly doubt that guy ever corners a fight again, in Nevada. GSP will likely not be punished, how could he? He didnt commit the infraction. And to call BJ's ground defence horrible, is uh, a little off. GSP is one of the best ground fighters in the game, he worked back to guard constantly and was never fully mounted, GSP is just on another level. Lack of preparation... I can dig it.

If that fight lasted 10 more seconds, Diaz would have won it, he was about to lock up a serious guillotine when the buzzer went, you could see him about to go for it and Guida was WIDE OPEN.

Limits are reduced due to many tournaments now having a "co-angler limit" 10 fish in the box can be a lot, 6 or 8 isnt so bad. I have a general distaste for those that find nothing better to do than be critical of everything around them and try to be funny about it... over 8000 times. But I try to keep my mouth shut about it. I'm done in this thread. I've said all I can say.

How could you not enjoy the Diaz/Guida fight?

There's lots of good fishin around ... scugog, scugog river, sturgeon lake

maybe its just me, but i was brought up with the mentality to support what you love. If you love mma enough to find the streams, then why not get a group together and order it, or go to the bar where they paid for it and support the sport and the organization? The UFC gives us free events all the time, why not support them when they have the PPV's. Just my 2 cents

2 words ... cheap and illegal

You'd be surprised how many tournament anglers there are out there. There is arguably only 1 PROFESSIONAL tournament angler in all of Canada. B.A.S.S. (Bass Anglers Sportsmans Society) has like 2 million members, and 95% of tournament anglers use cull tags. I'd say thats a decent sized niche. When I worked at bass pro shops, we couldnt keep them in stock.

According to Websters Online, the spelling of the word Destruction has been changed to GSP

Do you honestly believe that a small hole in the lower lip is going to lead to slime removal and infection? That would mean that a hook is going to lead to slime removal and infection? No? Why dont we stop using hooks ? When you apply the tag (and they have "clip style" as opposed to those that actually pierce the lip), it ultimately reduces overall handling. You have the fish by the mouth when you apply the tag, and once removing the fish from the livewell, you can grab the tag, meaning the mouth. This means you are not chasing the fish around the livewell trying to grab its big old back and rubbing the slime and causing abrasions from fingernails. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, including yourself. I have given my 2 cents How long do you handle your fish while setting up your tripod to take your pictures? Just wondering...

Just thought I'd point out that I called that... perfectly

I realize you have your conventional wisdom, having been around the block... and I tried to avoid this but it has to come into play now, I'm a certified fish and wildlife technologist and I guarantee you that if a fish dies from the livewell process, it has nothing to do with a cull tag. If it dies, its due to lack of oxygen, hot water, overhandling or having spent too much time out of the water. I realize everyone has their opinions, but I truely believe that yours is wrong.

Do you not understand that a clip on the lower lip of a fish is NOT going to lead to death

I tag every fish I put in the box, makes culling a much simpler process... I've actually seen anglers put the clips through the fish's gills.... dont do that please. Under the lip and you're fine

The Fitch fight was 5 rounds.

GSP WILL NOT WIN BY SUBMISSION I just wanted to say that. BJ Penn is one of the most accomplished BJJ practitioners in the sport, he will not be submitted by GSP. That being said, GSP by TKO in Round 4

We backpacked Costa Rica last February. We didnt do any tarpon fishing, but we stumbled upon a fishing village near Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula. The fisherman will take you out for free if you let them keep the fish. It's a commercial thing, it helps them out!

Agreed. GSP FTW

When I was a young girl, frankfurters cost a nickel

I use them a lot in cold water... late fall largemouth

Never took it as disrespect. Like I said, its not for everyone. It's a sport that is taking off in popularity as people become more educated. Years ago, it developed a bad reputation based on promoters advertising it as a no holds barred bloodsport. Since then, there have been many rules incorporated into it, timed rounds have been added and promoters are focusing more on the athleticism and work ethic than the thirst for blood. My brother has never been in a street fight that I'm aware of, but he loves the sport, to him its about competition. Him and his opponents usually get a beer after the fights and discuss their bout, what each guy did right or wrong and learn from eachother. To them, its no different than a hockey game.

LOL

Hard to say... about 8 years ago on Dalrymple I watched a fish eat a duckling off the surface in the narrows... A whole duck, I would think its a good possibility.

LOL. I didnt catch it, I had the pic sent to me today
