...but still won't tell us what's behind this "scientific sampling"...

Cash, your argument and your book are looking less and less convincing.

Read the book. I'm not interested in convincing you. I'm interested in convincing those who have some intellectual integrity.

Does that outfit keep the fish from seeing you sneak up on them?

You know Cash, the truth is, them dang trout can see you comin'. Especially in the summer time when the water is clear and shallow, but I caught that'n there in the early spring. The runoff was still in progress and the water was murky. I don't think he saw me comin' at all.

Them's my cold weather clothes, Pard. The sun's shinning in that picture and the water is runnin', but I don't think it got much over 25 or 30 degrees F that day. I was cold. C.O.L.D. cold and wet too.

He hadn't been out of the water too long, Mathew.

27 1/2 inch Lake Superior Steelhead. Caught in Knife River, Minnesota. Yee! Haaaw!

All that camo just to catch a fish?? Maybe that's why I never catch anything... or it could be the mass amounts of frosty beverages consumed.

Other than that it just looks too dam cold to be fishin... go get some whiskey bro.

So you're going to remain willfully ignorant of the book. That's your choice, of course, but it only makes you look more foolish everytime you comment on it.

I've never claimed brilliance nor a lack of a foolish move occasionally. What I still don't comprehend is why a man with no slaves, a family to feed, his home territory being invaded by an 'alien' army, and his general life in danger would give a hoot about slaves or their condition at the moment. I know you keep trying to tell me and I appreciate that. I just don't believe it. There was way too much racism in this country in 1861-65 to make a convincing argument that southern soldiers in a majority were fighting for slavery.

You got me samgrant. I was sneakin' into a Federal Fish Hachery and poachin' breaders from the stockin' program. The camo wasn't to keep the fish from seein' me. It was to keep the FED's from seein' me.

I'm a REBEL to the bone.

Looks pretty fishy to me... ummm trout fried up w/ a touch or worchershire sauce. W/ a Sam Adams on the side to wash it down.

What a handsome trout Ozark John. I never caught one that big (or did photoshop help? ). BTW, I'll pass on any sauce. Just a bit of butter & lemon is all I need for pan fried trout. Ymmmmm.

Battalion,

Why are you complaining about cheap shots? You've delivered your share of them.

Why Battalion! You CAN and DO read posts addressed to you!

Sincerely and Respectfully,
Unionblue
