Frenchmans on fire

[SHigSpeed]

I'm kind of the opposite of you Shig. I purposely lose count. For me competition detracts from the fun.

"How many did you catch?"

"A couple."

"Did okay."

"Caught my share."

"Slayed 'em."

Those are really all the numbers I've ever needed. Unless I was keeping, then you better believe I was keeping count.

Ed,

I only count because I log all stats in my fishing database - not out of any anatomical comparison contest. I generally never display my kill stickers publicly. Remember, I'm an engineer. I don't operate on qualitative analysis (except when I'm protecting my honey hole!) :^)

I guess the worst offenders are guys who lose count combined with forum glory seekers (who spread tales of epic heroism). Yes, I use a measure net as well so as not to be guilty of the 20" trout syndrome.
