| It has come down to people being too lazy to learn on their own. Most tv hosts use guides then disregard them after they got what they wanted from them. But, I am leaning more toward negative because of so many egos growing and growing because they have caught fish. |

Egos grow because of catching fish, and it's the fault of the internet? Hardly, that's part of fishing; always has been and always will be. |

I learned about getting all the right gear and some good lures to start with. More importantly I learned about all the release tools and leaving the fish in the water etc. I've also met and fished with some more experienced anglers thru this site. So I'd say it had a positive impact on me.
I couldn't agree more. How many of us have learned proper release, and CPR guidelines from the internet. That alone has helped muskie fishing. |

That's called good publicity for the guides. Do you think the guides are really all broken up because their name and resort was mentioned on MH while Saric holds up a 50" fish? Good business that is.
As for being too lazy to learn on their own? You might have a point if anyone was reading stuff on the internet INSTEAD of going fishing, but how is using your time off the water to improve your knowledge and skills when your are ON the water being lazy? Pile your gear in the corner and don't even try to figure out why you caught fish or didn't today, THAT is lazy.
God bless 'ya though if you're happy to just go out there and blindly fling baits around with no idea what you are doing and why. Makes me wonder why you're here, though...
