Rich Nelson Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) What a ridiculous statement! So how the hell would you know? Seriously, do you know Dale? Were you there? Did you measure the fish? Sound like a clear cut case of envy to me! I have a question for you. Have many 60"+ fish do you know of that have come from the Larry???????????? They don't get as big as Gbay, lol please! What a joke What about that is a joke? Do I know Dale? No, but Ive met him, and he is a joke. Am I jealous of the big fish he caught? Sure I am. We would all love to catch a giant like that. And I never said that they dont get as big as Gbay... open your eyes. I said the Larry fish arent as heavy for their size. Are you jealous because another waterbody has heavier fish than the Ottawa or Larry? gimme a break. They are all World class fisheries. I had nothin bad to say about Rich Clarkes monster last year, and I beilieve its size. Dales, I dont. Especially when hes askin if I want his autograph... ha ha Edited September 11, 2012 by Bladeburner

Pigeontroller Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Actually Dax, I just hate seeing a guy (no matter who it is) ripped for doing the right thing. A guy catches a really smokin fish, lets it go and then gets dragged over the coals by a bunch of jealous key board kings. The only side I'm on is the side of fairness. I'd even stick up for you Dax, if you were ever to catch a big Muskie I love it when you show your sensitive side!
Gregoire Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 I can't believe that some people are holding a guy responsible for a phrase that he uttered while catching a giant fish. It's not like he is going around claiming to everyone that he caught a record fish. He was excited at catching a monster and made a comment while I'm sure he was pumped up with adrenaline. For those who fish musky catching a monster can be overwhelming. I could understand in the heat of the moment making a ridiculous comment. My buddy caught a big fish this summer and after he caught it I had to send him to the back of the boat while I unhooked it, he was that excited. At the time we though it was pushing 40 pounds, but later learned it was more like 30. If we were on video I might have claimed it was a 40. This thread is getting stupid.
bucktail Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Everything about that story is good, good for the sport. He caught a freakish big muskie and released it to swim again...how can anyone whine about that.
Whitespinnerbait Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 McNair lost me when he went about asking people at the Odessey and I quote "Do you want my autograph?" and asking "Do you know who I am? Dude....your making that up !! :blink:
mercman Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 After reading this thread, i may never share another Musky pic on the open forum again,no matter what size it is. Bloody shameful.
Pigeontroller Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Dude....your making that up !! :blink: Actually its true... This is an old story and needs to go nighty,night.
Whitespinnerbait Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Actually its true... Does someone have it on tape?? Video ?? Witnesses ?? Photo's ?? I'll bet the farm it was taking out of '' context ''
Handlebarz Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Pretty sad with allthe new fishing threads and many musky ones with big fish not many post but a old fish gets posted and the bashing replies fly. It was a awesome fish and a great story how many we're or have been out night fishing late fall is the blowing wind and freezing cold? Kudos go out to dale sal and juli for letting it go
Roy Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Yes Mike and on your positive note, let's let this one rest. There will always be malcontents and the ones who urge them on.
