OK, everyone's heard of the Bisbee Black and Blue,
http://www.bisbees.com/, where prizes of over a million bucks are
routinely offered to West Coast fisherman for landing thousand pounders.
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.

Just an idea...

Skipper,

A month ago you were complaining about Harry using the NG to troll for
fights and arguments. Isn't this exactly what you are doing here? This
thread will do nothing but start another Skipper you are an idiot
replys. What is the deal with your infatuation with westerners vs
easterners? There are many westerners in the NG who actually live on
the west coast who participate in boating threads, but you are the only
person who enjoys boating on the west coast who views those who boat on
the east coast as someone to belittle.

What is the deal?

Skipper & Bert just can't change to the New World Order.
I suggest they find a newsgroup devoted to pro wrestling or something
similar.

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.

Only $1 million? The White Marlin Open out of Ocean City, Maryland pays out
nearly $2.5 million per year...and currently holds the world record payout
for catching a single fish of $1,638,915.

Hate to tell you, but marlin in the Atlantic are basically kaput. Check
out the phacts:

http://www.bigmarinefish.com/marlin.html

No, East Coast fishing tournaments with any kind of future must be
restricted to the local species; croakers 'n grunts. You'd have a lot of
locals going for that million dollar payoff for a grunt. And let's face
it, the idea of the tournament would be to promote fishing. What kind of
reaction would you get when the winning East Coast marlin weighed in at
20 pounds. The reality is, it's croakers 'n grunts for East Coasters.
