Re: TRUTH

I guarantee you Reagan and the two Bush's would not be happy with a Republican President dropping the f bomb like that in a publicly aired statement. And the only whore to speak about would be Stormy Daniels whom Rump had a relationship with and paid off to keep quiet.

For non-tournament anglers, I suppose FFS actually helps to push some of the boat traffic offshore leaving those of us who love fishing close in, more room. I will take fishing lay downs, rocky banks, etc. any day over getting a sore neck offshore looking down at a screen.
