After seeing you avatar pic, I would say you have nothing to make you feel inadequate. I would guess 95% of the anglers on this forum  could not post a pic of a larger fish. And, I would venture to say there are a fair number who are are all butthurt about that. 
 

Don’t be one of those guys. I think I remember you saying you are retired. Relax. Enjoy being in this position. Fish when you can. Be happy with what the day serves up. Keep it in perspective.

 

there are a lot of thing more important than fishing. Or giant bass. Or faster boats. Etc, etc, etc,......

I know I can't...unless it wasn't a bass - I think that thing is about or bigger than the state record for here.

No - but confused at why he's feeling that way...if I caught something like that, I'd be ecstatic.

 It was only a joke and wanted to make a funny post about Tom's massive bass. Plus the Capt Jack Sparrow photo was the perfect venue. if you had watched that scene in the move it was funny.

 

From what I had read of Tom's post he seemed very knowledgeable and humble. I'm very happy with my bass for Virginia, in fact I broke my PB TWICE that day! Top five bass that (cold January morning) weighed 36 pounds if I remember right. Caught the most bass on a spinner bait including two over eight, lost some big ones too. Caught the big one on a shad swimbait ~ wonderful things happen when you're there at the right time!
