| Re: Got Rail?
It's easy to flap your gums about something like this when you are catering to the "carriage trade" of Newport Beach who fish from primarily larger private boats, some with professional skippers, that can back down on a fish to gain line after all of the other lines have been cleared out of the way.
Using the rail to catch a fish when you have rigged your own tackle, serviced your own reel, selected and cast your own bait, sometimes on a rod you may have wrapped yourself, seems quite sporting to me. Even more so when you consider the tangles and other problems during the fight! Not to mention that you are also fishing from a dead boat while standing up and the only way you can gain line is by the strength of your own arm, back, and will!
The only thing that fish caught by the wood lack is the abilty to be submitted for record consideration. BFD!!!
Personaly, I think that JD needs to go catch a cow and a smile and STFU! :FU:
FISH HARD!
