Well, I guess you have to wait for the VD video Carp-O-episode Timmy mentions the loooosers of the war of 1812 several times dissing, all Canadians, sorry Larry...
I see nothing wrong - except for baby pitbull's response.
I want a boga too, that was smart for the slimy bastards.

It looks like my good friend Steve kind of stepped in it with his post on that other site. I’m as surprised by this as any of you as I’ve been offline for a while at our cabin on Lake Huron. I feel real bad about this as Steve is a real stand-up guy and surely wouldn’t have wanted to disrespect Nick or OOFS in any way. I wish I had a chance to talk to Steve about the wisdom of a post like this on a competitor’s site, but like I said, it didn’t even come up in conversation on our way home or in the couple of days I saw him in the office before I headed north.
I will say this in Steve’s defence. I have known and worked with Steve for many years and he is absolutely the last person that would try to take advantage of anyone in the fly fishing industry for his own benefit. In fact, I expect that he will be devastated to learn that anyone would even think that. Steve has worked tirelessly both in his job with MNR and as an unpaid volunteer to improve our waters here in Ontario. I’m proud to call him my friend.
I haven’t had a chance to talk to Steve about this yet, but I think that the conversation will certainly take more than one beer to get through. In the meanwhile, my apologies on behalf of Team Canada for this distraction.
Larry

Guess it was a little overblown, good guys came down, etc, but what is just a carp to one guy is serious to someone else, a few really good places where there is the ability to fish in solitude are changing. Sometimes irascible fishermen often don't like to see their spots change. Maybe that is the whole point of carp fishing, few others took is seriously, now there is money to be made and fame(?) It's all in fun anyway.

I would like to apologize for my severity of reaction. I was caught up in the whole initial shock and mild annoyance of the whole thing. I didn't like the boga grip shit at all. But as most people know and Steve found out I am mildly retarded and way to quick to freak out. But I am not above admitting when I am wrong. I am in no way condoning his actions I am just apologizing for mine.

Larry,
It was great meeting you and Steve at Carp O Rama! I hope the both of you make a point to join us again next year. Mike summed it up pretty well when he mentioned you were nice, friendly, cordial and generous.

Hope to see you and other OOFS regulars very soon. Larry

I will bring the beer! X2 on what Wylie and Mike said. Larry, You and Steve are welcome to fish with me any time and any place. I will bring the beer!
