I never understood the need to brag about the amount of fish caught in a day online. I guess that's why I've never posted a picture here either. To me, catching a fast limit of steelhead was a good thing, as that then allowed me to go do something else. Go get a limit of dungies (remember when the Sound was only closed to crabbing from April to June?) or then shoot a limit of mallards. Even go shoot trap or he11 maybe even mow the lawn.

With the age of the digital camera there became a disconnect within some of the population, as they needed to feel validated by "proving" they could catch a fish or 2 (or alot). The ability to then easily share these images with the WWW allowed some of these folks to continually share their exploits on our local rivers. Hey, I like looking at fish pictures too but after you've caught a few, most of them are pretty much the same, IMO. That logic didn't jive with mine though (and how I was raised); when I have a good thing going, the last thing I want is to encourage more people to wear out the places I'm utilizing?! Different strokes I guess....
