Recruiting Forum Football Talk LVIII

[volfanCLT]

I mean..he was right about Henry.

He changed his stance so many times on Sunday that no matter what happened he would have been “right”.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

MOrris is a good coach and will recruit fine. Please don't compare recruiting at Arky to TN. What he could do at TN is much different.

I don't think he'd set the woods on fire here either. Would have been another guy that the fans would have had to talk themselves into, whereas with Pruitt I think most fans who are informed don't have to talk themselves into believing he'll work like they did with Dooley and Jones.

Never had spinner but I’ve heard they give a pretty good fight. Fun to catch.

The big one was a lot of fun. 30 minutes or more to bring it in. Blows people’s minds to see a 6 foot shark getting reeled in.

I caught a marlin once that was fun. 45 minutes in the fighting chair and I was worn out.

i caught an alligator snapping turtle once, it was like reeling in a tree stump. lol.

They are pretty awesome to see up close. A lot of people don’t realize how many we have around our beaches.

My dad has been in a helicopter several times for work where they would fly up and down the coast. Said they routinely saw sharks swimming 20’ or less away from people and they have no idea they’re even there. We’ve had a few monsters out near Captiva/Boca the last several years.

have seen some reports on the news about some great whites off the east coast,in some relatively popular areas.

has made me think twice about going in for a dip this summer for sure.

 

[WinginFlorida]

yeah, this is getting in to the territory of one of my biggest weaknesses.

crawfish, oysters, crab, lobster, mussels, shrimp.....boiled, fried, grilled, stewed, steamed...whatever.

Bubba Gump, is that you??

Yep, we even have a couple the pinged over here in the Gulf too. I know a while back some divers were in about 60’ of water off the Tampa coast (which on this side of the state is probably at least 50 miles offshore) and came face to face with a couple Great Whites.

They’ve talked about how they are seeing more and more come around through the Keys to enter the Gulf. I’m not a big ocean swimmer so I’m good but definitely be safe, although it’s extremely rare to have any kind of interaction with a shark. They leave you alone for the most part.

How about some Octopus ceviche...

or some Scungilli (Conch) salad?

:thumbsup:

 

[Rishvol]

Homemade shrimp curry for dinner I guess

Ceviche is delicious

This thread has gone to s*** with all this nasty seafood.

We were just over to South Seas Plantation a month or so ago. Went over to the beach for the sunset and watched a guy reel a 6-foot shark in to the shore.

About 30 minutes later as the crowd was building for the sunset, we watched about 5 or 6 kids go swimming. I begged my wife to go tell them they just missed out on all the action.

She said my motives weren't very genuine.

No seafood?
No coffee?

What is wrong with you? :dunno:

One word...fried conch. Actually, that's two words, but I still recommend it highly.

 

[BigOrange15]

Seafood is absolutely delicious.

I caught a clam on a hook with a worm twice. Haha.

This. The "talking ourselves into" part is what's so drastically different with Pruitt, and why I'm more convinced of his success than anyone since Fulmer.

Remember...

Lane Kiffin: "Well he's an offensive genius and c'mon the guy had to work for Al Davis..." Not saying it's not true, but that's not an auto-qualifier for a top-6 SEC job.

Dooley: "Well, he got LaTech to an 8-win season, and that's as he split his time as the AD. He's got the pedigree" (the last name.. :/ )

Butch: "He's only known success everywhere he's been (nevermind that he was following up a more successful coach at each of his previous stops).. Antonio Brown! Marty Gilyard!"

Pruitt's the real deal, and Fulmer knew it immediately. Saban, Richt, and Jimbo knew it. Every last one of his players knew it. The fans at all of his previous stops knew it. And then he hires the best damn position coaches from the best damn conference-- none of this MAC/C-USA crap. The only non-SEC position coaches are Coach YAC from my alma mater Memphis, where we've been throwing for miles the last four years, and Helton from USC, like the real USC, with a real QB, OL, and offensive system USC.

I'm sorry, I don't know what just got into me. I'm pumped.

 

[appyvol]

You should try it, just for the halibut.

What you did there..I seen it.

 

[HankHill]

Hackenburg traded from the Jets. He is honestly probably the most overrated college QB eve. I remember him being projected a top 5 pick after his freshman year and just kept getting worse.

South Seas is awesome.

I used to get in the water at Boca Grande just to swim around a little. I then looked up “Boca Grande shark” on YouTube.

Look it up and you’ll see why I USED to swim and don’t anymore. There are some large animals that swim through that pass on a regular basis.

Have to agree with Uncle Colin on this one.
