  1. Yeah but who is doing the real fishing? Until they are up at 1am the night before getting the rigging just right - or owning the boat and paying the crew to do that - then they aren’t really fishing. and I say that with all due respect as a pelagic tourist who has caught plenty of bounty fish all over the western hemisphere and has also spent time with an owner and saw what really goes into pelagic fishing the night before.
  2. My view is as things stop working for you it’s important to be more responsible for the full catch. Hard to do off shore but I’m sure catching a sail when you set up the rig, you figure out where to go and how to hunt for them is way more satisfying. In the end most of us tourist fish for pelagics, that’s a very narrow fishing experience and 95% of the fishing is done by someone else. I compare it to a Colorado vacation float trip for trout versus soup to nuts doing it yourself. Night and day difference.
  3. The last time I fished CR we caught 8 and I thought it was an epic day. Caught a really large sail trophy pic worthy and since I hadn’t ever caught one they let me get the pic. The rest we left in the water. I went home so effing happy. 45+ ??? Wouldn’t know what to do.
  4. yeah I think the law equivalent is about 10% less in hours but a whole lot less in pay. I worked 100 hours per week rarely but it happened. 65-70 was pretty standard - a lot of 12 hour days and a few hours to organize, think, catch up on the weekend. not great but manageable when you're young and no kids. but bump that up to 75-80 hours and more often at 100 hours per week and that will burn. but the money and the skills for sure. good luck to her that's awesome. world will be her oyster for sure.
  5. @MotownHorn your piling on is horseshit. If this was my place you’d be gone too. I can’t blame imma for banning Derka, I’d like to hope I would do it different but he wasn’t coming at me. So walk a mile and all of that. I’ll let it go for those reasons and then some. But for Motown to stay silent and then pile on after Derka is gone? That’s the definition of a bitch move.
  6. I don’t think so. It had Hookem or horns or something like that in the title - it was Texas only and probably had probably less than 50 active posters. It was around the time she died, shaggy did not exist until 2008? It predated then.
  7. Maybe one poster posted the attack that caused it but I distinctly remember the very site being founded on a “we are smart, you are dumb, so dumb” mentality and the most popular thread that had numerous participants was quoting hornfans posters and making fun of them. I remember because I railed on them for it on hornfans.
  8. I salute you Shadow Operative! May your ill fortune on surly be met with the surprise of a beautiful life!
  9. it was a group of posters on a start up obscure message board that was more focused on keeping people out than growing a base. there was no single one poster that bullied, the culture of that board was to point at posters on hornfans and laugh. she got caught up in it and it went awful. several months or years later shaggy was born. very early on, the idea of telling someone to kill themselves was treated as a bannable offense.
  10. it was not on longhornfanzone.com it was on a short lived very few members message board that I don't remember the name of. back then it was broadly accepted that online bullying was a part of it. granted anyone who does do that probably has other issues too, but it's the combination we all have to worry about.
  11. I meant, Helobious, but thought his name was spelled Heblious. shows how much i pay attention.
  12. first they challenged rocko to a paystub fight, then they came after derka then they laughed at heb. shits about to get real.
  13. I suspect that was the primary game plan for UConn. Let edey score 25+ shut everyone else down.
  14. They’ve doubled edey 2/3 last 3 possessions and still getting bad looks.
  15. They are up by 11 letting edey go one on one. Edey gets his - sorta - and UConn is pulling away. Edey hasn’t dominated since the 8 min mark left in the first half. So far the UConn plan is working great. No need to double team him at all.
  16. ^^^ your quote of mine. we’d still take him in a NY minute. The guy is young and possibly the best coach in basketball rn. UConn is looking at a serious dynasty run. We’d take him and high five him for talking shit. He’s no Herman. He’s top of the game.
  17. Yeah I mean I like you but that’s not a good take on your part. We’d take him in a heart beat.
  18. As Hurley said pace favors conn. It’ll be close the whole way I think but if Purdue wins it’s super tight, UConn could win tight or by 8-10. They are so well coached geez.
  19. Edey had an incredible first 10-12 minutes and Hurley says gotta disrupt that, they do, up by 6. This UConn team is just incredible.
  20. If so then ok. Thought he mouthed off at edey too. Unlike some here I like the guy he’s clearly one of the best, wish he was ours.
  21. Hurley should leave the mouthiness for chatting up the refs. Bad look talking shit to a 22 year old.
  22. That’s a bit much. He’s not new era big guy but he’s pretty fucking good. And I hate Purdue so don’t take that the wrong way.
  23. Edey balling hard / conn still up by 3 / o_O
