I'm behind a desk 65 hours a week. I'm happy to see fish pics. It reminds me of what they look like :(

Agreed. I will never begrudge anyone who keeps their legal limit of fish. Rec or commercial. Hell keep 2 65# fis!! Release the 28-32 inch fish. Do I agree with seeing folks take 28 1/8" Long fish, not personally. But they're within the law.
I'd love to see a table fish and trophy fish type slot limit in ri. But the want just isn't there.. And well the enforcement... Is a joke at best.

I like it when other fishermen do well :) good on them! Big fish don't happen accidentally or from lack of preparation or we'd all have multiple 50's and 60's under our belts :) again good to see someone's getting it done :)

Wind has been a PIA most of this week. Thursday morning was hell. This morning wasn't as bad but still crappy.

Retarded fags are the best. Save me a slice of that pie!

"Fags" "retarded" Really? How about ignorant?

Fags, retarded, ignorant. The list goes on. I have 20 slang words for each of the above. Stop being part of the United States of the Sensitive! I know and associate with Fags and Retarded people. And I have blacks as part as my mostly white family. If you are gonna get pissed off about racial or retard jokes because a family member fits the description you may as well just become a born again Christian. And I have no jokes about born agains at all just true stories!

Guys I get It I am by far the least PC person on the planet. I know when you use that word you are throwing an insult to someone who does not fall in the category. However if you spend time with an individual with special needs regardless of who they are the word starts to work its way as far as possible from your vocabulary. It is what it is. But at some point in time utilizing a word like that as an insult you have to realize that people with special needs might hear that word muttered about them under others breath or to their face etc. the word takes on a whole new level of ignorance.

Thank you Jackbass. It bothered me also - I never thought I'd see those words here.

Likewise. I'm regularly surprised that people still use that word.

(also very far from politically correct).

pictures can be decieving... I've had pictures of 20lb class that looked like they were 50+.... I've had pictures of fish in the high 50's that looked every bit of it... fish in the low 50's that looked like they were 30lbs.... some one posted an old picture here ( from 1986)of me in Surfland with my 61... imediatly there were several "photo shop" claimes... why because the picture was black and white... the original is on the "big boy" wall in surfland ( a long with 4 other 50+ fish pictures of mine)every one needs to chill... as others have said if it is "fraud" they will have to live with it... it's fishing season... time for everyone to step away from the computer and fish.. i know i have..

End of their life only because they were caught. End of their life in the same way a 53 year old guy on this board is at the end of their life. Natural life expectancy for a striped bass is 30 years. 52" and 53" fish are approximately 19 years old. They have almost 40% of their life expectancy remaining. They are rare because ~half the bass in the legal age classes are removed each year. Kill less catch more.

well said.

Good luck
 

:uhuh::wave:

Fagabeefee? Tell me the movie, you win a prize. You must however match it with ZIGGYBUMWA. It was a commercial.

sunlight on clothing

This is the kind of BS that keeps me away from the boards these days. If you're gonna call someone out you'd best be prepared to put the same effort into an apology.

That should be in some people's Signature Line.....

How many 53 year old women are in the Prime of their Reproductive life?

Guys, knock off the "Retard & Fags & Gay" and the like. It is unnecessary and you can still be funny without the dumbassery.

I dun no!
How about this one,,, real or fake

What should I apologize for I never questioned the fish it was weighed in and I was obviously aware of that in the beginning. I thought the pic was screwed with before they posted it and thought it looked bad.

I saw a picture of you and thought the same thing. Then I realized the pic was fine and you're just hideous looking.

thanks to the internet fishing sites,i no longer have to spend money on comic books.

and as far as bandanas and the like,check out all the pro snowboarders,and freeride skiers,far from gay,but all decked out in the latest bandanas

Looks like a buff not a kerchief

I was trying to get on your pro staff. I thought being ugly was the most important part

MMMMMMM, that thought keeps me up late at night just dreamin about it........

White bucket, White Boots and Giant White Sunglasses your in!

And it doesn't hurt to be really ugly and have a repulsive personality like me.

Hey, I have another opening on it if you're interested. I think you and Jay would round it out nicely.

I happen to be overqualified at both!

Midnight Madness.

Who cares get out and fish!!!

There is no evidence of a decrease in fecundity in 20 year old class striped bass relative to smaller fish. They still produce millions more viable eggs than smaller fish. 200 years go, a human woman would rarely outlive fertility. Human women release one egg at a time. A 53" fish released could produce tens of millions of viable eggs over the remainder of its life. The science is clear. There are a lot of reasons put out there for killing bigger fish, but they are pretty much never supported by science.

When we kill all the big fat fish and release the skinny long or small fish, we are removing from the gene pool the fish that could breed more big fat fish.
Letting big health fat fish live will promote more big fat healthy fish in the future.
