I agree with J Scott- simple. reports, classifieds, etc. Maybe you might want to include history of the sport, as ection on the site for that, just talk about how you started, when, what it was like back then, how it's changed, when each species started to be targeted and by whom, and how, where. There are a whole bunch of people who have started who have no idea what it was like when you had the only board. No sense of history. you've contributed a lot to the sport, and if there are lots of people visiting this site, there ought to be a section for, for lack of a better word, history. Don't just say you're the original so and so, that doesn't say enough. Maybe there is already some stuff here on the site. Also the stories or articles are all jammed up into one another. I have an article on here that is tagged onto the end of Rhino's shark article. No biggy, but still. Lastly, I say, go to a WSB expert, and get an official estimate from a 3rd party on the fish. As far as I can tell that's the biggest WSB by FAR. personally when I see an important fish like that, I want to know where it was weighed, and if not, then, how was the weight arrived at. Don't get me wrong, I think the fish weighs every bit of 75 (I'm not an expert on big WSB unfortunately), but to add "weight" to the record, it would be cool to get some info so that other people know, ya know?
Take care and thanks
Anyway to look through the posts of like 2002?
