The world of Big Bass Fishing is weirdly keen on polygraph tests. Sounds like Mike can get back in the game if he beats a polygraph or three. He needs to just sit down, take a deep breath, and practice saying "Yes, I caught all those fish and never tried to murder anyone by unscrewing their tires", calm as he can.

e: also loving LO loving L to the dude crying about "harvesting mating animals". The entirety of hunting and ALL of fishing is regulated specifically around animal mating/spawning patterns its like...it's...it's the entire point and aspect of doing the loving thing and is regulated by season. And the animals are regulated for their season properly. It's why we have a little thing called "THE DNR". Like...that's HOW it's done....I...imagine being that loving dumb.

I've never hunted because I don't want to shoot game, and I gave up fishing because now, in my dotage, even hurting or killing fish bothers me. But good lord in heaven imagine not understanding this process.

He wasn't mad about killing during mating season. He was mad about killing animals trying to protect their young.

Fantastic Flyer posted:

Specifically targeting animals trying to defend their eggs/young is insanely scummy. Give this guy the chair imo.
That's usually totally correct. The point of hunting season is you can't hunt when deer are pregnant or nursing. You have to throw back crabs and lobsters that have eggs. I don't know much about fishing but it definitely seems like the outlier that it's cool to hunt something stuck on its nest. I guess because the whole thing is only like a month?

Fly fishing requires more casting delicacy, extensive knowledge of how to match the hatch, and just in general it's about technique. You have to play the fish with a fly rod. Tournament bass guys almost always use braid, which is almost impossible to snap so they can basically rip them out of the water as fast as possible. Most fly guys do tend to feel Superior to guys who use bait or gear in my experience. I personally don't, I'm not stuck on one particular discipline, there are tons of ways to fish. That said, there's no way this guy could've pulled this off with a fly rod, it just couldn't be done, it would take so much time to get fish of that size in that he couldn't fool his partner. Also wouldn't be able to snag with a fly rod

From this article I learned that Bass that grow up in cloudy water look different from Bass that grow up in clear water and fisherman can spot the difference right away and this guy had the balls to bring in a clear-water Bass and pretend to catch it in a cloudy lake just to claim a record and no matter how many guys called bullshit on it he got away with it.

It's a sport because you have to convince the fish, which is mostly focused on sitting on eggs and not doing a goddamn thing otherwise, that it should stop sitting on eggs and instead eat this delicious lure that is definitely not plastic. If they were spearing the bass they'd just be scooting their boats up to the fish and stabbing them in the head, which wouldn't take much skill (if any) and definitely wouldn't be interesting to watch. Actual spearfishing involves either stabbing fish that are busy swimming through rivers (which is actually engaging because they're moving around and generally trying to avoid being stabbed) or scuba-diving around with a speargun and shooting fish that are only slightly smaller than an adult human male (which can be pretty goddamn terrifying).
