To all it may concern,
I have a lot of respect for anyone on this site. Please Don't assume what I know or don't about catch, eat or release. I eat plenty of fish and grew up in a WORKING, fishing family. I asked Mike the proper questions and he wasn' t into answering. Follow the thread, reading one of them doesn't always provide enough information.
If any of you think that I am some kind of fish hugging conservationist you are assuming once again.
Mike ended up learning a few things as I did as well.
Seek first to understand and then be understood. Doesn't matter if you 1 or 100. That is my opinion and I am glad that any of my statements brought out your side.
I was taught by my Grandfather, who was a close friend of Shang Wheeler (let's see if anyone knows who he was) that arguements reveal the true side of ones patience and demeanor.
I am getting some of that feedback as we speak.
John, thanks for the comments on picture postings. That was my point.
I apologize to the entire membership for pissing in anyones popcorn. Mike and I have spoke (and you didn't have the luck of hearing in on all of it) and we both agree on things.
Dear mister bloocrab,
I am well practiced in the release of fish. I won't even venture to assume you aren't. I don't live here because I have some trust fund supporting my leisure and life. I work hard for my fishing time.
Period.
