[quote kochanut]i forsee this getting moved, however;
what exactly is an elitist in the fishing world? does it always, 100% of the time tie into those who fly fish? im just curious what everyone thinks?
oh and i dont just fly fish, i like to catch fish any way possible, fly fishing is just my number one way of doing it because i have fun with the fly rod.[/quote]
Absolutely not tied to just fly fisherman. I've had elitest troll'er guys badmouth my 9 year old boys (in their opinion) "small" 14" fish that he kept.
The annoying thing about Elitests is that they are never happy with anyone elses actions. There is always something wrong with what the other guy is doing, or how he acts, what he keeps, how he looks etc.
I'm happy to watch a kid catch a fish and it makes me reflect back to that age when I was catching them. Looking back over old family pictures, I'm amazed my dad let us keep some of those dinky things LOL... but it sure hooked me on fishing for life.
I got kindof
with the guy dissing my boys 14" fish at the cleaning station. If its legally caught, no-one should *ever* make a negative comment about someone elses catch. If they are happy with it, be happy for them and move on. Ditto for their fishing gear, fishing style etc.
