@MattSpeller lots of folks. we have some guys around here that actually will pin up lunkers, pretend they caught a fish by it, and unpin the big boys(girls). it's stupid how folks cheat.

@travisdh1 Something I didn't get about this last StarWars movie.... how do they plan to move a planet?
I mean besides the whole "enveloping a sun to destroy a planet", like how the hell do they expect to move the planet afterwards. Or do they just abandon it, and start building a new one?
Well, someone with way to much time on their hands went and figured up how much power the original Death Star would require, and came up with the equivalent of 14 suns. They must be a WHOLE lot more efficient with power processing in the future! Also, if I remember correctly, the hyper drives don't care about mass in Star Wars so long as you have sufficient power..... after sucking down an entire sun apparently it isn't as much of a problem. Tho if they were actually sucking suns away, would they REALLY then need to blow up the planets in the system? So many plot holes (and innuendo in this post.)

Some Bass tournaments pay out millions for a few days on the water. Plenty of people will cheat for millions of dollars.

People are weird. I kicked this guy out of a local fishing group a few months ago for several reasons:
He was running an illegal fishing charter (charging people money to fish)
He was finding picture online of fish (with no angler) claiming he was the one that caught them. For example if a fish was on the ground with a hook in it's mouth and no person was in the picture, he would claim it was his fish. (Really weird...huh?) -

Illegal as in against the law, or against group rules?

Fishing is a weird activity to me. When it is for food, I get it, I love some grilled sea bass. But for sport, I'm lost.

Yes it is illegal. Chartering a boat requires a captain's license which is not only expensive, but requires a difficult test.
So it would be legal if they did it legally? It's not chartering per se that is illegal, you are just saying that obviously these people are not captains?

To me, it's troubleshooting on steroids. The entire day out on the water, you are troubleshooting and trying to figure out the pattern.
Does this color work today?
Are they shallow, are they deep?
Is my retrieve too fast, or too slow?
Do they want fish or shrimp imitations today?
Each of those questions takes many casts to answer. Sometimes you will be out all day and NEVER find the answer.

Correct. Charter Fishing is a HUGE industry in Florida. It is very common to charge about $800-1000 a day to fish with 3-4 people . The price usually depends on the experience of your captain

Okay, that makes more sense. It seemed odd that chartering as a thing would be illegal. That it is rigorous makes sense.

That is offshore. Fishing inshore (where you can see land is about $400-600).

Yeah. The laws are pretty strict because it is a safety thing. You want to make sure the captains that are taking these boats out are experienced. Things can get hairy quickly on the water and experience is very important.

Absolutely. You don't want some yahoo going all Christopher Columbus with you on his boat and sailing aimlessly for a week and landing on Cuba and telling you that you've been dropped off in Canada.
