The Grinch Stole a Post

[Kent]

"Yes, Facebook Utah fishing pages are better and more specific and friendlier to people that for their own reasons can't get out enough to be "elite"." 

You have definitely found different, "...Facebook Utah fishing pages..." than I have ever found.  "friendlier" isn't close to the word that I would use to describe any of those Facebook forums.

Fished more with them than I have with you and we have associated for 30 years.  I remember friendly BFT. Utah lake get together s, Willard days, cook outs...
There is a lot of private messaging going on behind the scenes.  That is where invites and the nitty gritty information is exchanged.

Now as far as Obi-wan moving his post, I don't know of anyone on this site that has taken more people on their boat, taught more people how to run their electronics and catch fish from perch to Kokanees from Willard to the Gorge and although I have not been a receiver of his generosity, he has carte blanch to do as he pleases concerning posts in my book.  I was disappointed as well to see it moved.  I went to show my son the pic and it was gone. They were huge.
K-2 as well.  Probably the best Musky fisher in Utah, Kent probably the best Sturgeon fisher and Tube, well just the best I have ever met.

Maybe it's time to re-evaluate the elite section of the Utah board of BFT. Loosen the requirements some and still visible to registered members only.

Have merry Christmas everyone.

I would go one step further.  Maybe it's time to close down the elite section of the Utah board of BFT.  When it was first discussed, I was one of the most vocal members saying it was a bad idea.  It was presented with the explanation that there were several long-time members who had quit posting on BFT, because everyone, including those who had never signed up, could read their posts.  We were told that many of them would post again if there was a private forum.  I can't think of a single member, who had quit posting, who began posting on the new private forum.  Over the years, it has continued to create hard feelings between members that I feel has far exceeded whatever benefits it has provided.  Merry Christmas to all.
