ZL - Neither. I just decided to log in and post a reply. Have been following Mike's website for a long time. I check this site most every day. Have occasionally posted the odd fishing report, but never got involved in the reader's forum until recently. Oh, that's not true. One time I reminded a reader that state regs do not allow someone to C&R a fish that's caught on powerbait. I get pretty tired of seeing people with posts where they brag about C&Ring 30 fish caught with powerbait. All I got back from the baitchucking numskull was a slew of insults and him telling me to mind my own business. Whatever. Now, don't all the baitfisherfolks get mad at me, that method is fine, but I just choose not to fish that way. The thing is, most people just don't know that a bait-caught fish counts as part of your daily limit. I think it's OK to inform them of that so the fishing stays productive for everyone. OK, enough of the soapbox.

ZL-I've seen many of your posts in the past, but one thing I've got to ask you is what's up with the Zen thing? Are you doing yoga in your float tube or what? Hey if it works for Stu Jackson (lakers coach) . . . :p I'm not razzing ya, I'm honestly curious where the nickname came from.

Thanks for welcoming me. I intend to be more active in this forum in the future.
