Plus one of the main points of the thread is about bonding time fishing with his dad and all the "experts" only care about making sure that the weight that he reported is "accurate". Who freaking cares? Is it really a competition? Do you have to prove that he's a liar? Look at this fish, it weighed XX.XX!! Well who certified that catch?
It's sad really. Some kid comes on here super excited about fishing with his dad while his dad caught a HUGE fish and the peanut gallery comes in and tries to tear the experience apart. Sorry, I just don't see the point in doing that.
