I went to Lake Fork on Friday with a buddy from work and we caught about 50 bass for the day. We caught perhaps 20 over 3lbs and couple of 7+lbers. At one point I set the hook on what i thought was a record setting bass but when I got it to the boat I realized that I had just tail nagged this monster. My research tells me this a smallmouth Buffalo.........
BTW: I went again yesterday and caught about 35 bass.

The exlamation mark is just another form of punctuation in our efforts to communcate our feelings in the written form.
Can you see a difference in these sentences?

Fishing is sport.
Fishing is sport?
Fishing is sport!

The exclamation mark is used to end a sentence or short phrase which expresses very stong feelings.


And if I REALLY feel strongly about what I'm saying you will get a !!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

I had a buddy that felt fishing was about 90% luck and 10% skill until I took him to the lake and we used the exact same lure, exact same time of day and exact same location and I caught 4X his numbers. Perhaps it might not be a true sport but it certainly takes skill to be consistent.
