Hey look everyone.............

Pretty colors !!

cfm is right. And monkeys just flew out my ass.

You have NO idea..............

Yes, yes, and yes to everything, butt there is nothing wrong with that.

No, I don't hate homos.
I am just sick and tired of their crap thats comming out lately.
UNDERSTAND?

Done with the weird discussion for me.
You can go find the "Rainbow" boards and talk among your kind there.

Love + Peace
Always.

ok...i'm very new to river fishing, so forgive a stupid question. What the heck IS flossing? why the heck does length of leader matter?

Oh take a friggin Chill-Pill man...... Just to educate your PC brain a bit..... Using the Term "Homo" in this day of slang generally means the same as "noob", "putz", "dweeb", etc..... BTW, "Homo" is also in the genus m\name of men.... Uh, ever heard of "Homo Sapiens"?????

Your attitude (whiney) is exactly what he was referring too I believe...... Need a hanky?

Sorry, but the Speech Police (and usually from the same crowd that screams for 1st amendment rights) are getting a little too brave on this board IMHO......

DT: Flossing is the act of using a loooong leader and fishing in such a way that the line gets drug through an unwilliung fish's mouth and eventually snags the fish in the outside of the mouth. It is consider unsporting by many as thet fish does not bite the hook, instead it is snagged in the mouth.

Apparently it has something to do with bieng a "homo", but I'm not totally clear on that aspect of it.

The right bait or lure at the right place at the right time under the right conditions with the right presentation will produce a bite. The trick is to have all of these things come together at the right moment. Can you say luck ? Otherwise its just flossing plain and simple.

Enough with the flossing thing.
Much thanks to CFM.

Lets to some fishing but first I want to share some laughters.


This guy walks into a bar and two steps in, he realizes it's a gay bar. "But what the heck," he says, "I really want a drink."

When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the customer, "What's the name of your penis?"

The customer says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink."

The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your penis. Mine for instance is called 'Nike,' for the slogan, 'Just Do It.' That guy down at the end of the bar calls his 'Snickers,' because 'It really Satisfies."

The customer looks dumbfounded so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over. The customer asks the man sitting to his left, who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of your penis?"

The man looks back and says with a smile, "TIMEX."

The thirsty customer asks, "Why Timex?"

The fella proudly replies, "Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!"

A little shaken, the customer turns to the fella on his right, who is sipping a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you call your penis?"

The man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD, because 'Quality is Job 1.' " Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford, lately?"

Even more shaken, the customer has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his penis. Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my penis is 'Secret.' Now give me my beer."

The bartender begins to pour the customer a beer, but with a puzzled look asks, "Why secret?"

The customer says, "Because it's STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!"

MasterCaster,
Do you know a guy by the name of MasterBaiter?

Bull$hit, Go bobberfishing t bay or any competitive tidewater fishery, It takes years to be a good bait fisherman. Flossing is a method, whether ethical or not. I have done it and still do it occasionally but in the words of one of the best fishermen I know "its like getting a blowjob from a Transvistie hooker, sure its fun but you wouldn't tell your firends about it". Its meat fishing in its purest form and given the choice I tend to avoid it. Besides watching your bobber go down, a plug rod flatten out , backbounce bite, or any other legal method is way better.

well i guess all that still really does not answer my question,so i am going with my first gut reaction, it sure seems like a form of snagging!

Yeah, that used to be me until I got good enough for a promotion......

MY Favorite subject

Flossing is the fine art of snagging a fish in the mouth.
Yes, but to do this consistly it takes years of persistance and practice.
I myself, am a PRO!
Hell, I'm so good I can even floss sturgeon!!!
I have flossed hundereds of fish and and don't have a problem with it. If it's hooked other than in the mouth area I release it.
Most of the time I release "ALL" of my fish anyway.
If some of you want to call me a scumbag that's ok, I don't have a problem with flossing, but if you do, you should not do it, period!
Shorten your leaders to 24" or stick to lures?
Most people floss and don't even realize it.
If your using a 36 inch + plus leader, you yourself have flossed some fish!!!
I saw a guy last Wed using a 3ft leader and he flossed a Silver. The hook was on the outside of the jaw
I've seen guy's egg clusters on the outside of a fish's jaw. OOPS!!
I've seen fish flossed using a float (first hand )
If my Vibrax's hook is on the outside of the jaw, did I floss him , or did he bite down on the lure's body and then I drove in the hook????

Hey instead of HARPING on the evils of how to properly hook fish your way, why not instead concentrate on teaching people "To Limit Their Kill, Not Their Catch?"

Perhaps he did not mean homosexual, yeah right. Maybe he meant homogenized milk?

Hiding behind double meanings of words is a scumbag lawyer/politician game (like Clinton and Bush). If you want to pretend that he did not mean homosexual, you should also pretend that you are Peter Pan.

"Homo sapiens" is really what he meant?? LOL, that is the stupidest thing I have honestly ever read here. Your stupidity is breathtaking. Please do us all a favour and avoid breeding.

to everyone

I believe this is a beaten to death subject. No matter what anyone says it is not going to change another's opinion. If someone thinks flossing is ok there going to do it regardless of what is said to them. Instead as another already said we must limit how many fish we keep not how many we catch. Enough with the bashing, it dose not help a thing. If you want to have an educated argument then stop with the fallacies. Bashing a person in an argument does not prove anything but your own ignorance, instead criticize their ideas with your own.

PS: I really do not want to ask this question but I can not resist. Do you think it is ok to snag a fish if you are going to release it.

Yes, snag the sucker in the but and rip half of its skin off dragging it in backwards then let it swim away to try and spawn.

Sense the sarcasm?

I've heard that there is no such thing as a stupid question, but that one is borderline.

This thread has really got people goin! I'd like to see this kind of enthusiasm in some reports of where people have been fishing and what kind of results they've been getting. This board may unfortunately turn into something similar to NWF'ng. I really hope not, I joined to get some feedback and hear stories of people hooking some fish and having fun, isn't that what fishing is all about, good company and having a good time? At least thats what my dad taught me.

Glowball

Your a real piece of work, to tell you the truth your a jackass. I was being sarcastic by asking that question. In one of the early posts someone said that it was ok to floss. While I was on the Skok I saw a guy flossing fish, real good might I add, however, he did not always get them in the mouth. If you read carefully and not like a mumbling idiot like most and bash me for what I said, you too would have got the joke.

GLOWBALL YOU ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ASS WHO BASHES PEOPLE RATHER THAN THEIR COMMENT

PS: I agree I joined the site to seek advice, not to preach about how ones method of killing fish is wrong.

Okay ... warning to red corner. A special warning to blue corner since you've already been booted once and came back and re-registered.

This bout is over.
