OK, everyone's heard of the Bisbee Black and Blue,

It's time for East Coasters to stand up for their dignity and show the
world that their sportsmen are just as proficient at landing the big
ones. I'd suggest the East Coast host an annual fishing tournament of
their own. They could call it the Carpetbagger's C & G, reflecting the
nature of true easterners, and award their own better sportsmen over a
million bucks for landing those mammoth grunts 'n croakers the East
Coast is known for.

What is the deal?

You find the species too challenging for East Coasters? Certainly those
folks can put up something to compete with the Bisbee. I'd think someone
boating a thousand pounder in the Cheseapeake oughta get at least a mil.

Skipper,
Most of the regulars in rec.boats have made a concerted effort to
improve the tone of rec.boats as a way to encourage new readers to the
NG. If we are to have a viable boating NG, we need to encourage new
readers to rec.boats. Flames wars are almost non existent, trolls have
been reduced considerable, and the OT posts are normally non inflammatory.

Yet you who professed to want to turn the NG around, seem to be the one
who is interested in trolling for a flame war, with some silly east
coast-west coast troll.

I was hoping you would be interested in discussing real boating topics,
not some fabricated superiority between the Pacific and the Atlantic,
but it appears I was wrong.
