Bob Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 So this summer, the light of my life, my resident love goddess caught her personal best pike. It was 31 1/2 inches and 7 1/2 lbs. She thought it was a monster. Now I should enlighten her and let her know it's only a so-so fish.................. Nah, my mother didn't raise any stupid kids.
Joey Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Is this thread a joke? It has to be, and it's a super duper gigantic joke. Honestly
Harrison Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) I hear ya, pffft Monster, the leafs need to find a new nic name for that kid. Now Andre, he was a true giant. Edited October 4, 2011 by Harrison
limeyangler Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) In the world of internet....and particularly youtube.....the use of certain words like monster, huge, biggest....etc....is a tactic to get more views or 'hits'. Those words are similarly used in forums to attract attention to posts(my opinion), but from my own point of view i am just as happy reading an interesting and/or informative and funny yet fishless report than one filled with BEHEMOTH BASS(insert air guitar and thrash metal soundtrack here). Although giant fish are fun to catch and look at too Edited October 4, 2011 by limeyangler
Djeep Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Frame of reference is key in this discussion. If you catch fish that are so big that looking at others prized accomplishments is a "waste of time" then you probably dont need this website for anything other than bragging.. I've learned a lot on this site, regardless of how big the catch in the thread was or the words used to describe it.

fishnsled Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 I think we should have a Monster, Giant and Behemoth forum along with a Fishing Only forum........Probably should have a rant/complaining forum as well then some people's time wouldn't be wasted........
blaque Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 I always find it funny when someone complains about having their time wasted while surfing the internet. Dude, your on the internet......how valuable was that 3.5 seconds it took to find out that the description didnt match the picture.....in your opinion

Hud Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 maybe we could make everyone submit pics of their catches to see if they are worthy of joing the group?
Jer Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 maybe we could make everyone submit pics of their catches to see if they are worthy of joing the group? I thought Roy already did that...
Handlebarz Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Dude, you need to change your avatar. Got anything bigger to put up? Wait a minute, how about your MONSTER Muskie you caught, seriously! Cheers, Ron... Ronnie you and I were thinking along the same lines I was wondering why this guy was hugging a 32" musky??? must be the water where he lives. I have a perch on the wall that is 13" it is not a monster for what we have here on LSC or Erie but on lake X in sudbury area it sure was for where it came from it was in a area in the middle of this lake that was full of reeds I caught 13 pike off it and dad caught 8 then he caught the 13" perch on crank bait we figure that it was a great memory for us and took it home what a great day it was we slammed the eye's saw a porcupine swimming followed a moose swimming and bashed the hell out of the pike that day dad was also bitten of by a HUGE pike to us at that time maybe 40"??? but that one perch means more to me then my first 50" musky.
Joey Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 but that one perch means more to me then my first 50" musky. Now that's just crazy talk Mike
mercman Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Now that's just crazy talk Mike Nah.....I know why its special.....cause his Dad caught it. I know exactly how you feel Mike.Exactly
cram Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No need to take the joy away.
ccmtcanada Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 My reports will no longer have adjectives. Much more to the point and leaves nothing open for debate. Maybe the mods can word filter all adjectives out?
Roy Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 OK. I think we've reached the end on this one. Repeating what everyone else has posted it pointless. I'm sure that there were some poor choices where words are concerned in this thread as well.
johnnyb Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I think Roy's right. It's pretty much all been said. Now we're just repeating each other.
adolson Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I think Roy's right. It's pretty much all been said. Now we're just repeating each other.
Roy Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I though we could just agree that this one had had enough and we could get away without having to lock it. Apparently not. Someone will keep pushing it to the top.
