Silver hilton, Maybe your right, after all it is RT (jk ok?). But people here, including myself, hold RT and his contributions to this board in pretty high regard. Maybe not hero worship (unless your talking about the sandwich type), but certainly respect. Except for his post about the two level bobber stop, (another jk ok?) he gets quite a following to his posts.

I do think you have to be careful about what you say when you are published in a public magazine, even as lowly as STS. On the other hand, they let Steve Duin write for the Oregonian so maybe.......... (another jk ok?)

Otherwise, it was an obvious attempt at humor. Any bonehead that actually pours paint in the water should be prosecuted as ignorance and blind following of their favorite fishing writer is no excuse.

As for the Harry Potter reference, I haven't seen it yet. Tom has not yet sent the movie tickets I won.
