Agree 100% with the sentiment re Big Al as Big H, but, cmon brother, an 8lb smallmouth?

Hell, I’ve got more chance of seeing a UFO than catching one that big! :-)

The folks in his home state just plain don't care for his arrogance. He's not even good at being a hypocrite.

He wants everyone else to make the sacrifices to save the enviroment. Think of the Puppies!!!!111!!! But he's clearly unwilling to make any sacrifices in his own life. I'm all for living the lifestyle you want - and if he can afford the TN mansion, the waterfront condo and the big-ass boat - more power to him. But if he's going to spout off about the sacrifices he expects <b>me</b> to make without even attempting to make his private life look somewhat close to what he believes - he needs to STFU.

My Marine Trader has twin 210's and burn 10 gph at 2K rpm. I could use french fry drippings if they were available. We travel at a low sub-orbital speed of 11 kts. So I call BS on the Goreacle houseboat's burn rate. Two gallons per hour running his genset.
