Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating - View Single Post - Pics of Keeper and very large salmon caught in the Merrimack

I'm assuming if the salmon was taken from the same place the bass was caught it's a sea run salmon. That makes the angler who kept it A REAL LOWLIFE SCUM BAG!!!!

How is this greatest (no slight to the almighty striper) gamefish to be restored if the few returning breeders are removed from the fishery? This man is no better than someone who brings home a garbage full of schoolies!!!!

If by chance this is a broodstock salmon which was taken legally farther up stream my sincere apoligies. However, it does not look like a broodstock to me as the dorsal fin is clipped on all broodstock to identify them as such. Regardless all salmon caught downstream MUST BE RELEASED

Any game wardens watching this forum? You've got a good picture of the culprit!
