Interesting subject! I guess I fall Into the camp with the folks that don't really care If the weight Is embellished. I don't know the reasons for said embellishment and In the end, like others, It doesn't have any sort of Impact on my life.
I can respect Matt's and Shimmy's opinion on the matter and greatly appreciate having a place to come and share divergent views.
I have seen a picture here and there on this site with the weight not close to what was said and I quickly click out of the thread because I know It will be a circus shortly thereafter. I mean no disrespect to anyone by that statement but I have been around long enough to know what I like and or want to read and what I don't.
I'll speak only for myself here and assure each and every one of you this opinion has nothing to do with what's been written on this thread. I have no Idea why people over-estimate the weight of their fish. It could be wanting a feeling of Importance, Inclusion, or they simply might over-estimate the weight on purpose to see some come absolutely unglued. In the end we can, the majority of the time, agree to disagree, and continue to make this the best site around.
