That is great. I think it's also great that the Kansas fish was caught on Saturday (5/3) and the newspaper ran the story + photo a mere 2 days later.
Compare that to this NYS fish:
4/13/08: Fish caught
4/14/08: Story posted on Tackleunderground.com
4/14/08 - 4/30/08: haulinbass' son spends more than 2 weeks trying to find a cable so that he can download the photos onto his computer
4/30/08: soccerer requests that haulinbass post the name of the DEC officer who witnessed the catch and whose name is on the ticket issued to haulinbass' son for fishing without a license. No response.
5/1/08: haulinbass' son tries unsuccessfully 3 times to email out the pictures
5/1/08: haulinbass' son burns several disks with the pictures so that he can mail them out "in the morning"
5/2/08: Disk(s) mailed
5/6/08: I make a second request for the name of the DEC officer so that anyone can verify this story. No response.
5/7/08: Still no pictures
1) Post sensational tale, saga, story, or claim on a forum.
2) Promise to post proof, validation, support, or evidence "soon."
3) Respond to requests for delayed proof by side-stepping and making excuses.
4) As increasing numbers of posters become suspicious, become "incensed" and start playing the victim, continuing to claim proof is coming.
5) When it's obvious you're full of shee-ott, pull the ol' "You're not worthy of my fantastic and amazing proof" routine and vanish into the sunset.
6) (optional) continue to haunt the forum and make a fool of yourself.
