You have to remember when you look at pictures like that from the heydey of fishing...
My dad used to go out when i was about 4 or 5 for a few hours in fall and fill a trash barrel to overflowing in the Mackenzie with codfish just outside of Plymouth Harbor and that'd be it for the rest of the winter... (Boy was that a happy Siberian Shepherd we had getting all those Cod bodies to chow on)
I'd like to see one person do that today...
We've learned from our mistakes and I don't expect that would ever happen again...
And if it did, I'm sure who did it would be caught and hung by all of us for that matter
