Just a thought. I'm glad there are so many CPR fisherfolk here. Because so many are using the new fangled locaters nowdays,with this kind of cheatin ,wouldnt take long to decimate the population,I think thats why most bass fishermen are the same way. I eat most of all the fish I catch ,oh well.
Shame!Shame!Shame!:wink:
These things are a computer with a computer screen or monitor attached.You used a computer and screen to send your post.They happen to use a computer to fish.Some can not do math without a computer.Some can not fish with out one.Some are honest about it.Some make excuses.
Please consider the mentally and physically challenged and the drug addicted.(Many cannot fish without alcohol.check old threads & post)
It is not nice to point out such in others.Many already know this.The others will never learn or admit to it no matter how many times it is pointed out to them.
I can use the terms cripple,stupid,retarded,ignorant,lazy and such because they apply to me and I realize it.I also have the official paper work and have been recognized as such by the US government.Many of these folk do not even know that they are in such a condition.
I believe you are wrong about the cheating.Some are computers for commercial fishermen and some are for the handicapped sport fishermen.You can tell the ones made for the mentally challenged as they can show a picture of a fish.They don't need to put that on the commercial ones made for normal people.They have the ability to learn to use them.
Please remember.Just because "you have" the patience,desire,intelligence and ability to catch fish without a computer,many do not.
Have you ever thought why they only fish for big fish?It is because they show up the best on that computer screen they are watching!You got to be smarter to find the little good eating ones.
The early "flasher" depth/fish finders were too complicated for these folk.You had to be able to read and follow instructions.
The modern ones are made where you just have to be smart enough to watch TV and punch the AUTO button or key.The folks that needed them were so dumb that they even had to put a picture of a fish on it so they would know it was a fish.
OK.Lets get politically correct here.Please remember.Expressing your thoughts openly may offend.
Honesty offends many.
You should have compassion for the handicapped,unskilled,inept and those too lazy to learn to fish.
Please remember.Some just ain't got it!
Would you have these folk spending years between fish?
Perhaps you should have said "Replacing observation,patience,knowledge,skill,intelligence,ability and the desire to learn" with "impatience,electricity,a computer and artificial intelligence in place of human".Please remember that people only use such aids because they NEED them.Have you noticed that most of them use and highly promote the easy casting reels that you don't have to learn to cast to use?Hey!Cave men have a right to fish too.This is the USA.People too impatient or too lazy to learn have a right to catch fish!
Please remember.Some do not have the ability to fish without such aids.As a handicapped individual,I do understand these handicapped individuals and their special needs.
Many find it embarrassing when questioned and make up all kinds of excuses.
Many who run the "The rivers" at reckless speeds and do not know how to read moving water actually believe that a transducer mounted on the back of a boat will tell them what is ahead.Our leader Paul can tell you that is a myth!
It also keeps some from running "Blindfolded" as apparently they can not see father than arms length and use the computer screen to navigate by.I agree that GPS is great BUT it does not replace looking where you are going or learning to"read water"!(Some old fools will not admit to needing glasses).
Now some on here use them for Commercial fishing in their tournaments.And before they deny this as commercial fishing they need to look up the words.Also being the prizes are all of cash value.the US of A government thinks so and makes them claim it on their income taxes.Amateurs do not claim or deduct fishing money.
Please think about all of this Richard.
Now I have no compassion for the ones who are just too sorry and lazy to learn how to fish or even cast.
Oh,how I love the BOC.I once had a Monkey that could entertain me for hours.I do believe that he could fit right in with us here on the BOC.:wink:
There is a rest of the story to this.:big_smile:
I love you Brothers and sisters,both sinners & saints.peewee
