Second river salmon trip
jamisonace
It doesn't matter what Plumb or you or I would do. It was one of his first salmon and he was excited. Wasn't there just a thread about peeing on people's parades? Let the guy share his excitement. I've kept fish like that specifically to go in my compost. Maybe it was dead when he brought it in and he figured he'd do the same.....it doesn't matter really since it was legal.
Honestly, I had the same thought as you when I saw the pic but why take the time to make the guy feel bad about 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.

It is INDEED for this type of reason, that several great peeps have left OFF. I hope that many of them return!

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

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.
Admin
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.rogerdodger said:

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...

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 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:

Agree. But don't forget to give a slack to those, who made a mistake and put some negativity in their posts.FishLife89 said:

Just got home from work, wow this thread heated up quickly. All I can say is give the dude a break, he is obviously new to this. Everyone should know their regs, but we've all messed up somewhere along the way. I fished lake creek the 1st ime I went salmon fishing with a buddy and had no idea it was closed to fishing, I was counting on him to know where we were since he was experienced and knew the regs. As for dark fish, I say any 1st time fish is a keeper. I was so stoked the 1st time I got a steelie I could have cared less what it looked like, but I knew I was putting ink on my tag for the first time!
Admin
Well... seems I was wrong, too. yep, I said it, wrong. I restored the text, but pictures are gone.

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: 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:LuckyFisher said:
