Well done LuckyFisher! Absolutely well done!

If fish are open for retention who cares what color they are, especially for a new member. Sure, it won't be the best to eat, but at least he is getting out, learning about fish and fishing. Probably just super excited to get into a fish after a long while of trying or reading fishing forums. At least you are learning some by being on the forum, luckyfisher, in regards to fish ID. Take it all in stride and keep hitting the water.

Best,

It is unfortunate that people can be so rude repeatedly. Ignore the trolls dude. I'm sure you've learned from these fish.

I will weigh in my 2 cents (in this economy its probably worth less than one cent), but having just moved here from MI and being a very avid angler and supporter of the conservation of these species in both MI and OR, I understand his transgression. The number of rules, regulations, waterways (open/closed), seasons, tackle limitations, hatchery/wild, identifying species and probably about a million other things to remember will make your head spin! Especially to someone who just started. To whoever wants to rain on his parade, I ask you this, WHEN you broke your first rule did you learn from it? And, did someone make a sarcastic comment trying to rip your a$$hole out or just kindly inform you of your infraction and try to educate you better on the sport?

Congrats luckyfisher, and welcome to OFF!

You know, that might be true. They might pass what they got earlier.

Not just ignore but give negative reputation to a post. Let's turn reputation of rude people from green to red.

Thanks for the messages. I am always up for constructive advice and help. That is part of the reason I came on this site.

"Not very many places right now you can kill a wild coho. " really?

you owe him an apology. roger

BRAVO! This place is too good for that! Remember Thumpers mom on Bambi "if you can't say anything nice dont say anything at all."

and since you were wrong to begin with ____ _______. Just chilax and be nice!

I'd be surprised if he comes back, though I hope he does. A new member that posts pics of fish instead of just asking for tips and we run him off. Bummer.

and then we post about how this place sucks..... Thats what we need around here is anglers getting involved and posting thier fish! NOT lurkers ready to bust there balls.

If you don't want to draw a line keeping black fish so be it. Is snagging and flossing ok too? Good bye!

My first Coho. A darkie Buck, Note the smile + I ate the fish...Whats the problem?

Here's what all the fuss is about. I thought the older one was a Chinook because it looked like it had a black lower jaw and it was bigger than I thought Coho's would be (probably 20+ pounds). In hindsight I should have done more research about what older fish look like. Anything I keep I eat. There will be no waste. The meat wasn't fantastic, but it was certainly edible.

:clap:Nice Legal Fish! Keep it up!:clap:

We like fish porn of all colors!

Luckyfisher, just remember that the coho is probably your last legal unclipped coho of the season (depending where you fish, check the regulations linked above).

Hopefully, you're not the only one who learned something - there's someone here who could probably learn something about catching more flies with honey than vinegar.

Now go out and get yourself a chrome chinook, OK?

 

[LuckyFisher]

Sounds like a plan Doc!
