Padding your stats!

[Bone_Collector]

Is it OK to blatantly lie to people about how many fish you are catching? Than try and pass off 1 fish as multiple? I dont think so but I am starting to see it more and more with social network sites. Your thought on this.

Early to bed, Early to rise...fish like hell and make up lies.

I always say "didn't catch a damn one" even if I limited out. 

[Bone_Collector]

Yea its one thing to lie to your buddies but showing off pictures to the entire world and trying to pass off 1 fish as 2 just bugs the hell out of me!

Well, there's no law against it so I guess it's OK.   

I'd be more upset about it if it were my buddie's lying to me, complete strangers I would expect it.

Course if I were going to lie, I'd be saying the opposite (like Miles).

  If i to good i almost always try to help out someone who needs it unless they are a tool.

when I am down steelheading and someone asks how many I always say just a few 

[jaymark6655]

Like the sign above Bass ProShop says, "Welcome hunters, fishermen, and other liars."

Does it really matter how many fish some random guy caught.

Only time I hate the stories is *censored* like, "oh yeah there's no deer in here, just one buck and everybody knows where he's at"  really and he's still alive and that doe with two fawns that I just saw weren't really deer, but some kind of hybrid wolf!?

If you want an honest answer from a total stranger, than I would say it depends on the type of fish and how well you know the person.

There is some real fish stories out there! I will tell most people I have caught a few and never say my real numbers. Fish and bears seem to be the most crazy stories and weights

  I like to mess with people as well. Someone will see blood on one of my rigs and ask what we got. I will tell them a 5 point. 4 tits and a tail Some will ask about fish as well when I pack them out of a hole. They will say, hey what did you catch them with I say a net Or what did you use for bait I will tell them not to tell anyone one else and they get all excited until I tell them a magnet for steelheads

[sirmissalot]

People always over estimate weights, and exaggerate how many they caught. When we fish you often hear people say how many they caught, I hardy ever can keep track of how many fish I caught especially when it gets over 10, which in ocean fishing is nothing. This world is full of BSer's, something I can't fricken stand

[Button Nubbs]

My standard is "were doin alright".

I'm not sure why you would get all bent up about this. Call him a cracker and keep it movin...

[rasbo]

bear weights always bother me,they are all 400 lbs...the last fish I caught was so big the picture weighed 5lbs
