I didn't make a dig of any sort towards you. No idea what you are talking about.

You will have to show me with a link!

sonar won WW2, we found things that should not be there.
As far as the digs, you almost said I need the fish finder to fish, you are so wrong!! It tells me ware to fish!, and were the fish I'm going after will be!

You've annoyed me with your constant hair-trigger paranoia, so you can find your own links. Google "fish finder" and "swim bladder" and read it for yourself.

What the holy hell does WWII have to do with the price of tea in China? And I didn't "almost say" anything. If I had "almost said" anything, how would you have known I was "almost" going to say it?!?! Plus, you get all snitty about me supposedly "almost saying" you "need the fish finder to fish", which I didn't...then you turn around and say it tells you where to fish! Which is it? I actually thought your fish finder was really cool, and even said so. However, that is irrelevant, since my original post was about fishing from a boat, if you'd read before you fly off the emotional handle.

I never made any "digs" or said a single negative thing about you, or picked a fight of any kind with you, but you know what they say... it takes two to tango, but it only takes one to start a fight. Well, I'm here to tell you to "almost" STFU. I've about had my limit of histrionic board trolls today.

I'd camp out there in my boat with a video camera. I'd love to see their faces when they set the hook on a balloon, feel the *pop* and the resistance from the rubber dragging through the water, then see the bubbles come to the surface. I'd probably get thrown in the water when they see me laughing my butt off at them, but it would be worth it.
