You telling Mike the tread is still her because of it's valuable content is laughable, we all know why it was still there, Cmon dude.
If it's so laughable Mike, why are ya still posting and reading it? Seriously, a Disqualification occurred in an event. In light of what happened at the US Open, although a different issue where a guy got caught cheating red handed, the angling community has the right here to inquire. Much to my surprise, we got more than we bargined for as various parties began to jump in and explain their experiences, along with what the organization did as a final result. It has also brought up discussion regarding DFG fish limit regulations, as well as how some anglers percieve those rules by the orgs interact. Therefor, this moderator believes there's valuable content in all of that. Quite honestly, there's plenty of information in this thread about this incident, for the readers to make up their own minds, on what they choose to believe is right or not. That's why it's still here, regardless of what you or I believe, be it indifferent or not.

Please feel free to explain where in my original post, I accused or implimented that you do not follow the rules? My post plainly states I too think there are dumb rules, But no matter how dumb you or I think those rules are, if they are written, we must follow them.

Well, I didn't until I looked to see that ya have used yer wife's e-mail as yer contact here. Last I looked, there were over 8800 registered Users here, and the nonregistered could be greater than that, my bet is, less than .25%(222) know how Mike Tobey is, much less associate that with yer screen name. Far from everyone in here as stated.

Well Mike, with statements like the highlighted above, and you telling me to git off my high horse, leads me and many more, not to believe this statement. I believe you can search thru many years of postings in here on my name, and find this to be an inaccurate statement about me. It's perfectly fine to disagree, but persanal statements like that, typically stem from something other than two people agreeing to disagree.

Because that myfriend, would be very dumb by me and I have no reason to nor the ignorance to post in that thread and get caughht in a lie. I have been DQ, three times actually. Once for casting into a no fishing area, I misinterpreted the rule, my boat was 20 feet away and made a 40 foot cast while sitting next to the SS Minnow at Big Break. I also once DQ'd my self, as I was ticketed for not stopping soon enough entering a 5 mph zone. yet I can admit, in my own egotistical competative way, I've made that mistake and NOT gotten caught too. And if'n ya read Roger Nelson's previous post here, he told everyone about our disqualification at the ABA championship last year up at Clearlake.
It's all good by me brother, I'm outa here and off to go chase some full moon evening stripers out west! Toodle loooooo!
