    Catching a great white is like hooking a 1980's camaro. Slow, never turns much, boring as shit and in the end quite unsatisfying, making you wonder if your penis just shrank.

    Now catch a Sailfish on a fly rod and you're hooking a Ferrari Enzo. 60mph in the water and 45 minutes of knock-down-drag-out violence for a fish that is only ~100 pounds. Nothing else in the world like it and your junk is suddenly 20% larger.

    "Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go."

    Um, bullshit?

    The director of marketing goes on a fishing trip, accomplishes a world record, but of course can't prove it because the fish was let go.

    He couldn't get ANY proof more than a photo? He didn't, say, save some blood from the hook / line / water or something for DNA analysis?

    Fish tales, people. "It was THIS big!"

    6 ft, 150 lbs is a pretty small great white. Those things get twice that size.

    @newgalactic: Yeah, something seems off about those proportions? At 20 feet and 5000 lbs., that's 250 lbs. per foot. Scaled down to a 6' shark and it would 1500 lbs.? Sure small sharks aren't going to be as wide and thick as an adult...but that's a factor of 10x?! I would think that a 6' great white would weigh AT LEAST double the 150 mark?

    It's almost like humans are at war with these vicious animals. Since we have dominion over all animals, we best to kill the ones that don't act so friendly. I'm all for protecting animals and stuff, but when it comes to animals harming humans, treating them nice isn't gonna stop them from doing so. They aren't that intelligent to know so.

    @tencommandments: Reminds me of the time I decided to sleep in a cave. Turned out to be some hovel den for a group of brown bears. They put up a good fight, but now I got their heads on my wall, and their cubs on my feet. That'll teach em for tryin' to protect their worthless lairs.

    But then again, most of these creatures, particularly sharks, have been around for millions of years before Man, and even the dinosaurs, were a tickle in Darwin's proverbial testicles, so maybe our "dominion" over the planet is not worth much more than the cockroaches' siege of the bottoms of our refrigerators.

    What they didn't tell you is that Jeff Paterson only recently got promoted to director of sales after the last director of sales went out on a test run too and never returned. They had a much smaller boat.

    Oh dear... O.o


    I mean, come on... really? When I first saw it, it looked like they were trying to come up with some sort of souped up drumstick set for Rock Band. And then I thought about the ways that peripheral could lead to a rather peculiar evening. And then I shuddered.


    Sooo... best ideas for what other games that peripheral could be used for? Anyone?
