Harry,
If it wasn't for Google, you wouldn't know anything at all.

Reggie,
If Harry were not here you would not have anything to post to this NG
anymore. * Every post of yours today was in response to something he said or
had his name in it. * Your intentions here are obvious. *You really do not
to get a life.

When I actually looked at the little Reggie-crap's posts, I noticed that
* at least 90% of them were his petty insults aimed at me or other users
he does not like. Most of the rest were inanities. He tries to couch his
insults so they don't look like insults, but that only fools the idiots
here.

The classic Reggie's are when he insults the lives and possessions of
others and very carefully doesn't post anything of sigificance about his
own life or possessions so he can escape any sort of criticism. He's a
classic troll.- Hide quoted text -

Hell, Harry, you're the king of petty insults.

Too dangerous in many ways. Make it harder to catch and release. Harder
to get out of the mouth of a toothy fish. No need for them. On the plugs
I use, I've removed them and replaced them with single hooks.- Hide quoted text -

I disagree. You said catch a limit. That infers you took home a limit.


The limit is two each. Yes, it's more fun going home with a limit than
it
is with none or one. Catching a fish is fun, and catching two is more
fun.

I don't know what you're disagreeing with, but that's OK. If you enjoy

I catch lot more than 2 but rarely bring home one when fishing stripers.

Again, your childish low life insults show you don't know what in hell
you are talking about, Live Oaks aren't in any way or form
"evergreen". They are deciduous.
D'oh

From wiki:

Live oak or evergreen oak is a general term for a number of unrelated
oaks in several different sections of the genus Quercus that happen to
share the character of *evergreen* foliage.

The name live oak comes from the fact that *evergreen oaks* are still
green and "live" in winter, when other oaks are dormant, leafless and
"dead"-looking. The name is used mainly in North America, where
evergreen oaks are widespread in warmer areas, along the Atlantic coast
from Virginia to Florida, west along the Gulf Coast to Texas and across
the southwest to California and southwest Oregon.

Evergreen oak species are also common in the warmer parts of Europe and
Asia, and are included in this list for the sake of completeness. These
species, although not having "live" in their common names in their
countries of origin, are colloquially called live oaks when cultivated
in North America.

When the term live oak is used in a specific rather than general sense,
it most commonly refers to the Southern live oak (the first species so
named), but can often refer to other species regionally.

The live oak is the official state tree of Georgia.

In Texas, a small grove of live oaks (Texas live oak or Southern live
oak) is known as a mott.

And now here is the boating reference for our New England boatbuilding
friend, which is why I brought up "live oak" in the first place.

Live oak was widely used in early American shipbuilding; the remarkable
resilience of the live oak planking versus its European counterpart in
part made the early American frigates so feared by enemy sailors. The
live oak of USS Constitution repelled the shot of HMS Guerriere so
effectively that one of her sailors was heard to shout, "Huzzah! Her
sides are made of iron!" The ship was given the nickname, Old Ironsides.
Live oak lumber is rarely used for furniture due to warping and twisting
while drying. It is used in shipbuilding and tool handles for its
strength, energy absorption, and density. Dry southern live oak lumber
has a specific gravity of 0.88, the highest of any North American
hardwood.

You're a fourth-rate intellect, Loogy. You ought to pick fights with
your peers.- Hide quoted text -

I know you have to try to make yourself as low as JimH with your
childish insults, but the fact remains that a Live Oak is deciduous.
There are thousands of references to just that. Try it.

No one claimed evergreen oaks didn't shed their leaves, doofus. Lots of
people "in da Souf" refer to live oaks as evergreen oaks, and so does
WIKI, probably the only reference you can reference.

As I suggested, you need to find a few fourth-rate intellects in here
for playmates. Try Wally, Dan, Herring, Bert, et cetera.

The sad part is that the "intellects" pose such a threat that Harry has
to pull the kill file card to escape any debate. His sickness has
escalated to the point that he can't keep up with his own lies so he has
no choice but to ignore those who challenge him.

Too dangerous in many ways. Make it harder to catch and release. Harder
to get out of the mouth of a toothy fish. No need for them. On the plugs

Go back and read. Catching some fish *does* make a fishing trip more
enjoyable. I've enjoyed myself when I got skunked, but enjoyed the trip a
little more when I didn't.

If you have more fun not catching than you do catching, I'd say give up
fishing!

Harry,
If it wasn't for Google, you wouldn't know anything at all.

Reggie,
If Harry were not here you would not have anything to post to this NG
anymore. Every post of yours today was in response to something he
said or had his name in it. Your intentions here are obvious. You
really do not to get a life.

you have never meet a person you didn't think was an asshole.




Naw, only you Reggie. Add Booger to the list also. The 2 of you deserve
each other, the anonymous aholes that you both are.


Actually, a**hole would be a compliment for Reggie. Agreed, if coming from
Harry.

My dad's favorite eating fish is the sand perch. He can still stand
there for an hour filleting them to get a couple pounds of meat, and
he can hardly stand. They do taste good.

I love 'perch fingers'. Fillet's about the size of a half dollar, a
quarter
inch thick, breaded, deep fried. Takes about a hundred, but damn they're
good.

Speckled trout - pan fried in a corn meal batter.

Good point.

Out with a friend last year who runs a commercial party boat. Another guy
was catching a lot better than I was so gave me one of his jigs. Did not
notice the little clear tube and missed a few bites. So they had a good
laugh at my expense, and dang, if Tom the captain does not do the same thing
about an hour later.

If he didn't want to catch a fish, why give him a rod at all? Seems to me
you'd be safer and catch more fish if he just sat there and enjoyed
himself!
