Plumb would you keep a fish that was that black? If I offended the op I'm sorry I just understand why someone whoud keep a fish in that condition.
LuckyFisher; I am able to un-delete your original post, but I won't do it without your permission. Please let me know if you would like to share it.
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.
as an admin i want to let you know, that this forum is for anglers. To all judges. I suggest you to move from here to oregon forum of judges.
And than asking each other "why is OFF so slow lately?" :think:
Those are your words, not mine.If you don't want to draw a line keeping black fish so be it. Is snagging and flossing ok too?
Have a good day.Good bye!
I have to say 2 things. First as an angler. When I started to learn fishing in Oregon, I did it all. I fished rivers, that were closed, I caught fish that wasn't allowed. By mistake, of course. And now I will not put a finger to anyone for anything. Well at least fishing related. ) I don't know if topic starter made a mistake, but I see an OFFer making a mistake, thinking that he has a judge cap on. Let's tolerate each other and each others mistakes.

Probably. But there are always exceptions. Don't get me wrong, snagging and flossing is not OK, as Yogidabear stated. But the "mission" of OFF is to educate, not to punish. We are OFF, not KKK.I think of it this way: anyone that fishes regularly and claims to have never make a mistake with the rules and regulations is probably a liar...those that repeat 'mistakes' once they know better are definitely poachers.
Well, I thought I could un-delete the deletion so we could all see the pics and the report...seems I was wrong, yep, I said it, wrong.Anatoliy, is there a way for you to un-delete his original post?
I promise not to judge you if you can't...
Agree. But don't forget to give a slack to those, who made a mistake and put some negativity in their posts.Yeah I agree...no room for negativity here...people make mistakes just like in real life situations..get over it...you only live once so it's not wrong to learn from accidents.
I got his permission in a pm, if that helps...Well, I thought I could un-delete the deletion so we could all see the pics and the report...seems I was wrong, yep, I said it, wrong.Anatoliy, is there a way for you to un-delete his original post?
I could, but it's up to a member to post, to edit, to delete, to reedit or to repost.
Well, it's easy to be polite, when a cyberblaster is hanging on your belt. :lol:
Awww, I would never blast you....
:clap: Hats OFF to you, LuckyFisher for coming back. It's not easy around here sometimes, but, in my book, you just proved yourself to be more than lucky. You are a fisherMAN. :clap: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.
