I think the volta should get named 'Divot' due to its little missing chunk. But if it fills in with time you would have to rename it...

what r u doing still awake, dude?
Lol i know waaay past my bed time..how ya been ? Havemt seen ya on in a while you get banned again lmao
Yeah I would still not ask for another fish. If the seller were to have to give another fish out for every fish that has a problem such as yours (you even mentioned it's so subtle someone not familiar with them wouldn't notice) they'd lose a lot of money. Vendors get in fish like this all the time and they don't get to ask the importers/exporters for another one just because this one isn't a grade A specimen, and if they have to hand out one more fish for every non perfect fish they have, they'd lose a good bit of money. As long as the fish swims, eats, and settles in perfectly fine then I don't see a need to ask them for a whole other fish. That's just my opinion though, and what I would've done, but obviously this is your fish and money so it's your call on what you think is right in this situation.
nah, I disappeared into the woods to go fishing LOL Been a really rough July, but we stuck with it and pulled fish when no one else was, even to the point I was the only one in my group catching them in the end. Things should look better in the next 2 weeks, trophy season for Smallmouths starts, then runs into November and Muskellunge and Pike start getting active around that time so I have high hopes. July just sucks.....every year it's the same 90F+ days, hot nights, water too warm, lazy fish etc etc
i'll be honest, Doc.....I think it's kinda messed up they didn't tell him ahead of time it was scarred-up. If they didn't know I guess it's No-fault, but I would at least call or e-mail them and explain the situation and let THEM volunteer a solution and see how they handle it, as professionals
But they most likely didn't notice it was scarred-up because it was so minor that it could easily be passed over. So if it's that easy to miss it I don't think that it warrants getting another fish or even a discount. If the fish had some sort of other defect like a missing eye, fin, tail, etc.., that's something easily noticeable even to a non-hobyist, and I think with things like that notifying the customer would be an ideal scenario, and maybe even a small discount. IMO the only time another fish should be awarded is if the existing fish arrives DOA. I'll be honest I can understand a small discount here just because they're good people (definitely don't think it's necessary thought), but anything more than 10-15% off is way too much.
My main issue is asking for a whole other fish. I can't remember who did it, but someone ordered a moke from wetspot and it came in with no dorsal finlets, and wetspot sent a whole other fish because they were told it was deformed. I personally not only wouldn't have asked for another fish, but would've paid more for a unique fish like that. I think wetspot is a really good store and has some really nice people, but I think they're too generous sometimes and they're unintentionally starting to set a standard that will hurt quite a few fish businesses down the road.
Anyway........ Jaws you have some nice looking new additions. Palmas Palmas are one of my favourite upper jaws because of their camo looking patterns and yours just from the pics of it in qt look like they'll shape up to be beautiful, and the BV given some time seems like it'll be a really a really good addition to your collection. You're starting to build up quite the stocklist hahahaha
yea but you know how the economy is, people will always shop where they get good customer service. It's a natural part of franchise-wars..........nothing will change that
Yeah of course that's how it should be done. I just think that Wetspot is sometimes too generous and that, that generosity will come back to haunt them when everyone wants another fish because theirs arrived with a simple scratch on it.
I have to call b.s so you mean to tell me if your new teug came in with 1 eye or 1 pectoral fin you would be fine with it ? Sorry but i dont buy it. I was the person with the moke with no finlets. Your description of how vendors should operate and the problem with replacing damaged fish is actually how most of them DO operate. Selling deformed fish would hurt their business in the long run your not seeing the larger picture....many peolle would do business with them just ecause they stanf behind their product... more $$$ in the long run.
Its not a simple scratch the face is deformed just like the moke was deformed. As i said earlier something thats easily cured with some meds or extra care no problem but doa, and issues thats are permanent imo is a different stroy.
The issue im having with your stance is since when do hobbyists side with vendors that dont deliver what the claim to deliver. As a whole if we accept shotty quality fish and dont hold these guys to the standards that they themselves claim to have then whos to say what the level of acceptance will be.
Funny though that i stated a few times that inwasnt sure i would even ask for a fish....are you defending WS or some other vendor that has issues lmao
