Hi Joe,
I had a chance to see a few photos with some nice fish. Congrats, you have had a pretty good first year of fishing........glad that luck has been with you while you learn about the sport. We are all learning, and it is a lot more fun to catch while you learn.
I think that running your mouth for no reason and trying to put down a bunch of other fishermen does not make you look good.
Have fun while you kayak, don't bring any unwanted negative attention to your fishing group and hopefully you will continue to dominate the Califonia kayak fishing.
