Let's take a look at these one at a time:

"hey steve first off man do not try and start to question me"

Are you some kind of supreme being that you can't be questioned? Pulleeeze!

"second if you are tring to say that you have never missed a fish or have never watch your lure get hit and could not hook the fish you must be kidding yourself."

Yes, I have missed fish, usually while not paying attention. However, if you're fishing with " THE BEST HARD SWIM BAIT AROUND TODAY" you should be expecting to get bit by something huge.

You say "(but then again you are a trout fishermen)." The inference here is that it's harder to catch a big bass than it is to catch a big trout? I'm not talking about planted overweight Triploids like those Thunder and Lightning fish, or a fat Rainbow. I'm talking about Browns, not easy to come by. By the way, I also fish one or two multi day trips out of San Diego each year and enjoy Mexico destinations like Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, East Cape, and Cabo San Lucas.

Finally, do you guys ever get tired of being part of a mutual admiration society? Don't you enjoy posting and reading about "the things they have been able to acomplise" more than talking about what somebody else has done?

No apologies necessary, I'm sure that Rob is used to an occasional debate being aired here. After all, freedom of the press and all.

Good fishing to you all. Hope ya get a bigun.
