If you post Reports - you get "You're Spot Burning" and then the Flame wars start.

If you post Pictures - Your spot burning, or you're not holding the fish the right way, or your chastised for posting nothing but "Pics of Dead Fish"

You get chastised for not using the right Equipment - Either your not giving the fish a fighting chance or you're not bringing the fish in quick enough.

If you use "J" hooks you're a fish killer, if you use Trebles you're a fish killer, if you don't crush your barbs you're a fish killer.

If you talk about a "40" you kept you are responsible for killing a breeder.
If you keep a 28" fish then people start arguing that the minmum should be 1 at 36"


.....And you wonder why people aren't talking about fishing as much around here

Exactly

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
