Lets just say for the moment,, The fish report was just one of MANY success stories over the last couple days,,,
TRAIL BLAZER
You know, for one, it's "Burka" or "Burqa." Not Berka. Now, if you're going to have your thesis statement compare two things, it always helps to be wise and make sure you know how to spell the items you are comparing. Just saying.
No, but I've always wondered, "How on earth can someone actually compare fishing videos to an item comprised of some other culture's dress code. But, wait, here it comes!:
No, I'd never equate someone posting a video to someone wearing a Burka, but go on:
USA! USA!
Now, how does some other culture's dress code have to do anything with a fishing video?
No, the criticism that usually occurs is when the poster tells people to make sure sensitive areas are well taken care of or how they're hitting a super secret "Ninja" spot that nobody knows of, but then go ahead and post their report on a message board (and their blog) where 20 million locals have access to. This isn't rural Wyoming where the population doesn't exceed the amount of sheep, and divulging a hot bite on a certain waterway through a report will not receive an influx of pressure simply because a report was posted. But, in your testing, I'm sure you took into consideration that we live in Southern California?
Christ, this should be good.
You yourself, huh? Must be mighty awesome to know that the entire basis of analysis for this hugely populated metropolis can be analyzed by your simple testings. But go on....
I figured I wouldn't even delve into this astute analysis, but eTucker, did you take a logistics, or statistical course at a higher level? If so, did they teach you about sample sizes and sample items? Are you assuming all lurkers want to catch hatchery raised catfish at your specific local cement pond? (Hint: You did)
Jeez, where to start. Well, I'm still wondering how your 6 tests suddenly determines the entire pattern for "bucket fisherman" in such a huge sample area. 6 tests, for 1 species, at 1 park? Now that's some analysis Nielsen cannot argue with.
Wow, and you also majored in Psychology? Next thing I'm gonna hear is you trying to compare fishing videos to a strip club.
And I don't even have to write anything in regards to your last statement to sum up this awesome post.
Thank you again, eTucker. You have enlightened everyone. Thank you for your testing and contributions to analyzing fishing patterns in the southern part of our state. Although, while we enjoy your testing and analysis here, I personally would rather you post pictures of the yellowtail you caught in your last outing, than try to claim that the 6 fake posts you made didn't attract any lurkers, thus no lurkers lurk this message board.
I hate to break it to you ,but how many fish reports have you put up since you have been here with pics as proof of the trip. many info outlets watch this site and many more for the guys who post up all the time and who do well .and if you don't think there isn't an army of the bucket brigade then you have been living in dream land .but some on here bloviate and that steymies there credibility as a reliable info source. most people out there just want to know if a type of fish is active at a certain body of water ,the intitled mindset wants everything on a silver platter or they get angry.i had two guys thank me yesterday for my reports of activity and the videos I do with my pal cory and they gave me room to fish with my client others follow me around to find where the bite is including other guides ,its one thing to hand someone a rod and say catch and for them to actually do it..............
.
wait ds!
let's do the math!!!!!!!
Let's say I "handle" business 6 times with a girl in a berrrrrrka.
One of those times: at the (named) park where there are 50-100 catfish pucker tucker tested his theory on; cuz he IS that good.
The others at strip clubs or any other park of your choice (cuz we're not really sure where the other experiments took take place, right?)
It costs $35 dollars, cover charge for the club, but remember it's free at most city parks (though not always!!!!!!!)
no wait, let's only do pay lakes cuz epucker has a lot of cash to blow (money is not an issue for him) lol.
so, ($35*X)+(approx. $45*Y)+($0x1 (la mirada))=?????
ok la mirada = $0
cuz 0* anything = 0
and...
oh snap!
puck, I need some of your mathdumbmatical prowess here... I get's stuck in the more complicated anaylsis of blowing up a local water by showing background skin in mahhh videos.
but I'm guessing by your genius, it's ok to show where all da little fishys live, so NEVERMIND!
and why does cost matter anyway? lol what a bunch o bass ackward thinking was i thinking i was thinkin????
Really, no one shows up at any fishing places I've ever been, not one person ever! Post away I say, ALL FISHING SPOTS IN CAL ARE SO SECRET, no one knows about any of 'em, how's that for a theory?
btw, puck, was the DISTn normal in your analysis? ummm I'm guessing, probably not.

At first I thought Lady Q responded by the way it was all broken down. I could argue my half arse points but I won't. I meant them to be entertaining while still be trying to make a point. The big point I was trying to make that this is a fishing web site. Yet the rarest thing on here are fish reports. Strange isn't it!!!!! Just to show you how ridicules that really is, suppose this was a luxury car website. Who would read a luxury car website if they never actually talk about whole cars just parts of a car. (see my point) It's easy to understand why nobody but the brave few (me included) actually write fish reports with all the negative criticism that so many of them draw.
I do want to talk about why I write fish reports without pictures. I'm trying to write a fish report with more detail then most (without pictures) to let the readers imagination take over. (novel concept) In today society it's all about bling and someone just showing you something and say here it is!!! I'll give you another example of what I'm talking about. (no strip club metaphors in this one) lol I'm 55 years old, when I was in elementary school my teachers use to read us classic childrens story's after lunch with no pictures. I still remember a couple of them, James and the giant peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The whole purpose was for the children to imagine in their minds the events. No two children would imagine it the same way. Now a days they would probably just show you the movie and everyone would see the same thing, as Hollywood would want you to see it. I wrote one of my famous Yellowtail story's in March about catching them in a down pour, it included hail and a waterspout. (no pictures) One of the most respected members of this board (trolly) commented by using his imagination that he wanted to put on his rain gear in his house. (pictures just wouldn't do that) You love to acuse me of being Buzz Kilington. lol Well today I'm going to acuse you of being Buzz. I just got off of the Enterprise (sportboat) today and we caught 5 Yellowtail between Glenn and myself. I was going to write this nice fish report about the adventure (without pictures) but now you killed my Buzz and I don't feel like doing it. lol
