wow.. really, holy ****.. if you love these things so damn much to be this opinionated... why do you even fish for them... it could hurt them.. your actions and passions don't jive... I don't believe all this false religion, I think it makes you all feel better about what your doing.... like the bowl of white rice to a starving african kid, you never even realize how many the rice kills.. but you tried, and that makes it all good.
i'm sorry that i don't like to see or hear about people handling fish like they are piles of dog **** brad. i believe in proper and respectful fish handling.. is there something wrong with that?
i said i don't like seeing fish being treated like dog crap i wasn't calling anyone dog crap... jeez. i just haven't been in the best mood recently, im tired of being looked at as the bad guy... outta here for a while.. break timeWow Brandon; calling peeps a pile dog crap? Just for how they treat THEIR fish? And his license should be revoked? His kids, btw, are little dudes. Teaching kids anything takes TIME, and isn't something they'll learn on the first few trips. Man, I might have to re-think going on trips with you--if this is your true essence.
So I take it there are some who would frown on the way my boys yard fish into the boat, bang them off one side of the boat to the other, drop them on the floor, grab them with both hands, pick them up, drop them to the floor again, watch them slide under the fish box, push them out from under the fish box with a stick, grab them with both hands again and hand them to dad to revive and watch gleefully as the fish swim away in a frantic haste to escape my little monsters.
The reality of it as is simple, its a fish. We catch them for fun and for eating.
Some people keep every fish they can, some release every fish. People need to adopt the motto " to each their own". Practice your ideals but dont preach them. I take pictures of fish and if because of it one dies, im not going to lose any sleep over it. Do i want the released fish to die?of course not, but it happens. If your one of the people who dont want to kill or hurt a fish then the answers simple, dont fish!
Brad, you disappoint me. In a perfect world maybe that could happen but the state consists of many different people that make the decisions, here we are just fellow fisher people. It's okay. I really didn't expect much from posting on this thread except, as usual, defending myself.this state allows fishing in spawning grounds, bait, treble hooks, double hook set-ups, gillnetting, a non-harrasment of marine mammals policy, retention of native steel in some systems, logging in the headwaters all the way down to the streambed, they have punched a road up the side of every stunning coastal river and polluted and diluted some of the most epic steelhead and salmon native runs in the world with hatchery fish... mis-managed the fishery so bad that they have managed to make native policy and biology look good, placed hydo power dams in the middle of a river that had the largest in numbers and size salmon and steelhead runs in the world, manage the columbia system with no regards to Idahos sports fisheries... and then they have the nerve to tell me how to hold a ****ing fish? Rose if you can get the state to apologize to my son and daughter for what they have done... then I will apologize for my words..
Damn!:shock:I sure hope it rains soon....Y'all are starting to sound menopausal....:doh::doh:just sayin'.
:tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

But then this is how I differ from a lot of people.... I don't post those pictures on the Internet, that way I don't get criticized by....
wow......this thread really sucks.....This is exactly why I never make serious comments on here....I like humor.....everybody always knows more than me and practices fishing better than I do....I catch and release a lot of fish and, yeah, maybe some have died. The holier than thou attitude here is exactly why people have left this forum.
I think you all need to apologize to each other. Some of the personal attacks here are totally uncalled for....we are all human and not one of us is perfect....if we were we wouldn't be here on this earth..........
All right lil salmon. You inspired me. To tell the truth I was just trying to inject a little humor into the thread and when it went the wrong way I shouldn't have posted what I did back to Colby and Brandon. Sorry about that guys.
In truth, we have banged fish against the boat and once or twice a fish has slid under the fish box. Was it on purpose, of course not, but we learn from our mistakes and hope to do better the next time we land a fish. Of course when your dealing with kids under 7 you can usually expect imperfection. But they are learning and they are going to be better fisherman for the experience. I hope everyone is OK with me renewing our licenses next year
