Normally I love a good bash thread.

However this is simply a blatant attempt at pot-stirring. Those 'hall of shame' pics have been posted on so many fishing sites, for so many years, that the shock value is long gone.

If I wanted to see boot-snaggery, I'd simply drive out to Kennedy Creek or The Skok.

As it is, I'm due for another trip to Pennsylvania next winter, and will be bound by social obligation and familiar courtesy to smile and nod politely while I hear tell from East Coasters of thier "Salmon Mastery." The same group of "Sportsmen" who consider sitting in a heated treehouse above a remote-controlled broadcast feed spreader in thier front yard with a 30,000 candlepower spotlight--"Hunting."
