Another thing that a lurker learns quickly who is chasing after internet posts is that people tell fish stories. It's not hard to add an inch or two or six here or a lb, or two there or a fish or twenty when you're hiding behind a computer screen. I know first hand of a few fish stories that have been passed around on BFT. That 25" scofield rainbow from last week's post was 22". I know of a couple people who headed up after that post expecting some big fish, they caught a couple standard 14-16 inchers. Scofield can handle some pressure, but there are waters that can not handle the pressure. Those waters need to be protected if you enjoy fishing them or they will be altered due to exposure or out right lies. What's wrong with giving a report, sharing some photos and giving a general area for these locations? Oh that right, this board just a big brag session for some people, and it's usually these guys that are full of B.S.
