The reel is an 8000 and is sort of propped up by its handle, creating the illusion that this 32" is about 15, if that. Remember, when adding a reel to a photo for scale, always use an ultralight and claim it's an 8000 or larger. Even your schoolies will look like major cows. 😉😁
edit- this fish was released alive and well.

Wtf is the problem here? Isn't anyone dissatisfied with anything anymore??? Are we happy now? I'm sorry, but this cannot stand. Action is needed.
33in, Portland, Maine, on live 9" mackerel. Released strong and healthy. 2nd pic is my rig. No, not the barge. 🤪👍

The bird and I were both unharmed.
I was fishing from the jetty at the north end of the beach. You tried to tell me fishing is not allowed there. You were wrong. Fishing is prohibited on the beach, not the jetty. Not sure how you came to believe you have some sort of authority, but it is my sad duty to inform you that you do not. What I need from you now is for you to go fuck yourself, m'kay? Do that right now, thanks. 👍
I would love to post a pic, but this interface doesn't show a 'pics or video' option. Wtf. Did redd(sh)it just change this? Sorry,no0b here.
To Whom It May Concern,
I’m writing to formally register a complaint regarding the circumstances of my existence.
The terms were never disclosed, the conditions appear arbitrary, and the overall execution has been, at best, inconsistent. Expectations were unclear from the outset, yet the consequences for failing to meet them have been persistent and, at times, disproportionate.
There have been brief moments that suggest this arrangement isn’t entirely without merit—but they are sporadic, difficult to replicate, and often overshadowed by long stretches of frustration, fatigue, or indifference. If this is a system, it lacks transparency. If it’s a test, the criteria remain undisclosed. If it’s random, then calling it “fair” would be a stretch.
I also take issue with the lack of meaningful recourse. There is no visible support desk, no escalation path, and no option to opt out without severe penalties. That alone would be enough to question the design.
That said, I will acknowledge one thing: despite everything, I’m still here, which implies either stubbornness, inertia, or some unfinished business I haven’t identified yet.
If there is an opportunity to review or revise these conditions, I would strongly encourage it. At minimum, clearer guidance would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
A Dissatisfied Participant
PS- I want my fucking money back.
I hope I'm not wearing out my welcome here; I keep catching really good fish! Got this one fishing from shore, Casco Bay, Maine, on a 7" live mackerel under a bobber. New Penn 8000 performed beautifully.
Medical emergency at BS show at Cross. EMTs had to pass through the hallway adjacent to the backstage area/dressing rooms. Billy-boy threw a hissy fit; no one is allowed to have a life-threatening medical event in such proximity to his royal highness, apparently. 🙄 We know, Billy, it's all about you, right?
31" striper, Casco Bay, Maine. The reel is a 4000, to give it proper scale. Fish was released alive; thanks for playing. 👍
I found your misplaced item at East End Beach this morning (7-20) at about 9 am. Name it and claim it. It wasn't on the beach itself but on the adjacent jetty.
34" on live mackerel. Released. Still looking for that 40". 😉👍
Trying not to get in anyone's way.
