Well for one thing, it is in the rules and members that post false reports are in danger of being banned from BFT but you are right there is always a chance a member will lie and post false reports. I choose to have faith in members, unless someone tells me different and believe what they post. I have been in the same place as some of these members that have caught fish or numbers of fish that most members have a hard time believing. The only proof I have is the person that was fishing with me but there are many members on BFT that can back up the claims that other members make even though they were not with these members that had good success. How would they know, you my ask, because they have had similar success but choose not to post about it. Years ago, when I felt the same as you do now, I contacted the members that were making these outrageous claims and they were willing to take me out and show me the ways of the walleye or other fish. It turned out great for me at least and I learned a lot of info that helps me to this day and I'm truly grateful these guys were willing to show me what they know. IMO, when you don't believe what others are posting, it is always better to ere on the side of caution and learn what they are doing that is different than you, instead of saying what they post is not true.
