I have never understood the need to prove anything to anyone....if I catch a good fish I take the best pic I can if I am alone at the time and I release. I tell the people who matter to me or I share a photo with them. The ones that matter know my word is good and that all that is needed.
If I happen to decide to post a pic then I welcome people to comment and make themselves look foolish....because I really could give a rats behind what "jimmy90210" or "lady balls" from AO has to say about it...I post pics because I like seeing pics, and I like to share.
People need thicker skin...
