I'll give you this Chris you were right when you started with the line
"Time to be controversial"
Not controversial, but more as the Moderator said, Idiotic.

When will these mindless threads cease. Fishing is for fun, not intense endless discussions about whether who caught a fish by whatever means is fair and square. If its legally caught, with full preparation and anticipation like all our fishing trips, why even bother asking such a question.
Unless your so full of your own elitist and proud ideas that you use a forum like this to show your pride, ignorance and complete intolerance of other people. Yes a meter fish is desirable, but who set the mark at a 1 meter barra as the epitome of success, greatness and achievement for everyone else. Ive caught 85cm fish that fought way harder than some metre plus fish!
Whoever started this, have a think, "Different is not wrong" or "Celebrate diversity". This kind of crap will drive away sensible people from making a good contribution in the future as Dick mentions.

flatzie ........ can you please point out where I have been Intolerant :-/
Ignorant of What :-/ Its not as if I have not trolled & caught fish ........ I did ... but I just quickly moved on
I keep hearing the word elitist ........ There is nothing elitist in casting (a high percentage do it !)
who said anything about trolling being wrong :-/
Barra fishing is fun ..... but we all do it for different reasons! ....... & all get something different from it! ........ these a personal choices
Clearly my mindset differs from others on this topic
As for scaring sensible people away .......... Why would it:-/ - There has been no personal attacks - Besides its only someones opinion::) Just as you have expressed yours
Cheers
Chris

Re: IS IT TIME TO RETHINK THE METERY "Does trolling count?"
Let this one sink fellas its all been said and done... it seems as far as method goes we all posess that one thing that make us what we all are Different... cast, troll, bait and fly are all great methods some like one method more the other hence A fishing forum having salt esturay, fresh, offshore etc we are all going to love one a bit more then the other and get a bit more of a reward for doing so...
So at the end of the day we are all right and we are all wrong, I think a thing such as this we loose sight of our ultimate goal . To Go Fishing!
THANKS NATH

Thanks Deano
I still have nightmares about that xxxx;D
Passion ...... maybe Obsession ( not quite) - It is a challenge for me , specially to be consistent ................. for me , barra fishing is not about numbers or size etc..... Otherwise I would be out there perfecting my trolling technique .
