I couldn't agree more......

I've been known to impale various critters on a hook to catch the critters that eat them.
I've been known to chunk crank baits from a boat
I've been known to drag spinners through the water

My preferred method of fishing is using a fly rod and dry flies (yes, I do consider a popper a dry fly). But anything within reason that will catch fish is something I'll try.

I'm not a big beer drinker and don't like to be on the water around drunks but other than that, I'll fish with anyone who will put up with me (or until they stop putting up with me).

So, I'm a purist of sorts, a fishing purist.
