Give us a try!
Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

Try and listen to the spectral content (the range of frequencies present) of the 3 sounds you'll hear in the clip--the river, the guy, the whining drag. So the river and the guy are clearly legit and recorded on this guy's flip or whatever, but the drag should sound weird to you. That's because it's not subject to the same frequency response limitations as the other sounds. It has more low end and it doesn't have a resonance at around 2K like the others. We could bullshit about depth and proximity too if there are any other nerds out there.
You also need to consider the fishermen. How is he playing this fish with just one hand? Why does he react like such a herb? Why does he call it a bald-headed eagle?
Definitely not trying to hate on your post Mountain Man, sir. I'd hate to anger such a famous and powerful figure.

Negative, I found the site and I joined that day. So I've had the priveledge of watching you post the most ridiculous stuff and get chastised for it over the past couple years. I do miss reading whens Simms would tear you apart, although since his hiatus you seem to be doing a just fine job of embarrassing yourself here. Keep it up, I love a solid laugh

You would have to re-write the entire post to make it grammatically correct, and to correct it intellectually, would be impossible!!!

I find it annoying when people correct CMM's grammar.
The guy drives a forklift for a living, flunked out of community college, and drinks 7 beers a night.
CMM is the working class, unrefined version of Flyi4.
He was born and bred in the Catskills. And he loves the land.
I say that's enough to make him a man.
As to the video, the guy basically let the fish be taken by the eagle.
He set it up.
The same guy posted a video of an eagle missing a fish that he had hooked...
I bet it was the same eagle in this video as the other one he posted.
The guy had his camera turned to the right. He followed the eagle the whole way.
The fish was used as bait to attract the eagle, and make the video.
But hell yeah, it is a great video.

I'm with you. I call CONSPIRACY THEORY. This video is pure BS. Call the video police. Have this schmuck arrested. Better yet, castrated! His ball should be mutilated. Let's start a coalition. PAFFV (People against fake f'ng videos).
and I applaud you for calling this out for what it is, FRAUD.

He actually filled you in on THAT?
His home NOW is certainly NOT the Catskills... Hudson Highlands... NOT the Catskills...
and you know you've hit BOTTOM when GB is the one who comes to your aid...
I almost feel bad for CMM

you consider it the hudson highlands?
Hm I've never heard it called that. Normally the mountains near cornwall are called that, but alright.
I know you all enjoy my posts and respect me but just like to break some chops.

Also there is no reason to be flat out a nasty person.
I'll stay happy even though a bunch of old crotchety fly fishermen call me names to feel better about themselves.
outward aggression is normally an indicator the person isn't happy with them self.
Me on the other hand? I'll stay treating others how I'd like to be treated.
Gotta keep the big man in the sky happy.

Highlands, sure. Maybe a bit west of what would be considered the "Hudson Highlands"...

Fairy David is making some good points here and I, for one, will not stand idly by while incompetence runs rampant amongst the ranks of the video police. PAFFV: A Vigilante Coalition--2 members strong.

You mentioned "steal" as to the action in which the eagle took in your title. Will that eagle return the fish you think? Eat it and then return its carcass? I don't normally steal hamburgers. Oh I see what you did there....You were born on a Warwick onion farm. #sprayfreezone #nope

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
DC has been posting on NEFF since April 2000, he has given a grand total of 14 groans, the above post being one of those 14, exactly what did CMM write that deserved a groan, that the other countless thousands of other posts that DC has read did not get a groan?

The correct answer was selection (D), all of the above.
