Dishonorable. And unethical.

Why?

Ask 40.

There is honor is doing things right, and **FOR ME** putting the
fish on the reel is doing fly fishing right. You hardly ever know
which fish is going to be good size and which is not so it's good
practice to use proper technique every time. Part of proper
technique is never having more line outside the reel than you can
retrieve when you get a fish on. There is honor in doing things
right as opposed to half-assed and slapdash.

This attitude, or more accurately this attitude of *MINE*, caused
wee Willi Loehman to have one of his squealing hissy fits. In
other words, the usual roff hyperbole and nonsense. Bottom line,
Barnard's a putz and he's just trying to stir up old **** because
he's not creative, witty or smart enough to stir up any new ****
of his own.

And there you have it! Like you I don't think the trout really care either, and even
if it did, it wouldn't matter, as we are the one's who are hookin' the trout and not
the other way around.

You hardly ever know
which fish is going to be good size and which is not

You, who? Me? I almost always know within two seconds. What am I doing
wrong?

so it's good
practice to use proper technique every time.

You've forgotten, haven't you? Many of us have seen you fish.

If you know which fish is good size two seconds after you catch
it, you're doing nothing wrong. If you know for sure which fish
is going to be good size two seconds BEFORE you catch it, what
you're doing wrong is wasting your time fishing. You should be
buying stocks and bonds all week and playing the horses on the
weekends.

so it's good
practice to use proper technique every time.

I can't remember anything I've forgotten, what's your point ?

And I generally do.......but then, we'd already established that......hadn't
we?

you're doing nothing wrong.

Hm.......so, when Jeff, Mark, or Jennifer slaps you around they are doing
nothing wrong so long as they know approximately what size you are shortly
after they've got you hooked?

If you know for sure which fish
is going to be good size two seconds BEFORE you catch it, what

Oh goody. I am REALLY looking forward to your beautifully crafted
explanation of what your knowlege of a fish BEFORE you hook it has to do
with the propriety of playing it on the reel after it's hooked.

Remember, "There is honor is doing things right, and **FOR ME** putting the
fish on the reel is doing fly fishing right.You hardly ever know which fish
is going to be good size and which is not so it's good practice to use
proper technique every time"?

Well, yes, I see that you do remember.

You've forgotten, haven't you? Many of us have seen you fish.

That you don't remember anything you've forgotten........and this is, in
large part, the source of your pain.
