I'm with frank

....disagree to some extent


My father has 10 brothers and sisters
My mother has 9 brothers and sisters
I enjoy eating fish while at the same time, not paying for it...but far greater than that...I love helping those who cannot do what I do, for whatever reason.
It's not only the smile on their faces, but more the fact that they gather weekly in large groups for a fish fry, bake or both, the "old country" way,,,,and of course, they invite ME!!! My family is VERY giving. They are very involved in church functions as well as simply helping others out. They DO go door to door with cooked items to families that they KNOW are less fortunate. If I can contribute in some small way, I'm all for it.
Too many people on here (fishing/boards) are very quick to pass judgment on people who decide to keep their legal limit. Almost as if one should feel guilty about it ....

I will continue to keep my legally allotted limit regardless of what others think or say. I'm not going to beat my chest about how many fish I catch or don't catch, but if the walks not too far, and I'm not too lazy that day....my limit is coming home with me.

I understand that every little bit counts, but we are but a mere splinter in this messed up fisheries management debacle. I have no problem with lowering the limit to 1 fish at whatever size, but stop looking at me like I'm a crook when I take a fish home with me.


OK....stepping off the soap box now....
