just for curiousities sake, not starting trouble- just wondering, how many fish do you kill a year #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&? Approximate of of course

libassboy · 09-26-2006, 03:11 PM

I apriciate all the kudos from everyone however, your post is certainly meant to detract and somehow flame this post which was just meant to show a good night, just as most other here do, I know this because I have a good memory of things said in the past by you..

I will however give you my honest answer with all respect....It is none of your buisness or anyone else's how many fish I keep or dont keep as long as I am within the law...having said that, I will say that this year I kept maybe 15-20 fish so far which went to myself, family and friends and some were also used for the on the water tourney and my own clubs tourney but, they are of the same group as the 15-20 fish mentioned above..I had 11 bass last night, 9 of which were set free to swim again and which were not small fish, like I said it was a good night...so again, it really isnt your buisness to ask, the only reason you would ask is if you somehow thought something wasn't kosher...and I know the rumor mill in the east bay is on fire with that.Steve and I have heard plenty from other people....

if #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& fished approx 100 nights a year......probably on the low side, right Bill, he is doing nothing wrong if he takes 200 fish.....2 per trip

don't know what the problem is

i can see if these fish were being killed just for pictures...but I KNOW thats not the case

choggieman · 09-26-2006, 03:51 PM

realizing it is none of my business, I am good with your repsonse.
the question I should have asked is how many times a year you fish, how many of those trips are successful ( at least two keeper bass)? I am not in the least bit insinuating you take more than your limit. With your profile you have to keep a clean nose. What I am getting at is, for someone so close to the fishery and so rapt with the striped bass, you post lots of pictures of big dead bass. I do not know any fisherman who kills as many big bass as you do.(excluding comms.) I am sure you release 1000 keepers to the ones you kill ( a compliment), but there are lotsa dead big bass in your history. Do you ever keep smaller fish, say 30"? I prefer them eating wise any day over a 30lber, and most fisherman I know feel the same as I do. I am not attacking you, I am remaining civilized. I just wonder as many do, how much harvesting of the large fish of the new england stock can it sustain? Do you think there will be a day when there are no more big bass? Do you think we could ever see another moratorium? Many say the stock is in trouble- does harvest of the larger adult more prolific breeding fish help? We need not be at odds, I am just presenting my train of thought to you for feedback. Thank you very much

chipwood · 09-26-2006, 03:53 PM

It is'nt anyone's business to ask? Then why is your face plastered all over the computer when I look @ SB.com showing all the bass you've caught. Man for someone who wants their name in the paper and on the world wide web, are'nt you being a little touchy.

BrianS · 09-26-2006, 04:02 PM

I take every legal bass I catch.

Unfortunately its been 0 this yean and only a couple dozen last year.

Why question his methods....? Commecs do far more damage.

striprman · 09-26-2006, 04:14 PM

Sounds like you had great fun. Those are nice sized bass. So, lets hear about the methods and gear you used. I'm pretty sure you used eels, maybe not. How were your rigs set up ? How was the bait (or lures) hooked, line, knots and leaders, rod and reel, conditions ? Just interested in how you catch nice fish like that (as I'm sure many others are). Not the "where at" but the "how to". Willing to share some tips (and not just pics and other babble) ?
Again, looks like you had alot of fun, and last night was a pretty nice night weatherwise. I might go tomorrow morning if I can scratch up 15 bucks for gas.

I am more than willing to tell you or anyone else anything I know! The problem is when I have in the past it has been ignored or slammed(on this site anyway).....anyway, I give several seminars during the winter months now and I dont hold back...Again I am willing to share what I have learned..I am just a fisherman who has success on occasion and dont pretend to be more than that but, I feel I know what I am doing or else, I would not be catching...

piemma · 09-26-2006, 05:44 PM

Bunker are back. Eels will go into hibernation again.... Meanwhile I'm traveling like a banshee for work. I need to change jobs or retire. First year we got this busy right during the Fall run. Lousy bad guys....

Hurry and get back paul...so we can make the "run"..Bunker are indeed back!

parker23 · 09-26-2006, 06:19 PM

Keeping a fish or two a week and PROPERLY releasing the rest is a drop in the bucket compared to the by-catch/or the idiots that step on fish to remove the hook and then kick the fish back in the water.

I do not know Bill, however, I bet he knows how to properly release a bass. I keep at least 15-20 fish/season and I release many good size bass. When I release a bass, I make sure that they are not critically injured. If a fish is bleeding or non-responsive to reviving techniques, I will bring that fish home.
Bill and Steve catch and properly release more fish than I could wish to imagine. Anglers that are passionate about Striper fishing are much more likely to take care of the fish they release as well as leaving the area they fish cleaner than when they arrived. During my shore fishing days, I cleaned up after the slobs left their trash on the shore after kicking their released fish back into the water.

I hate Government intervention into additional aspects of my life, however, we need enforcement of regs. I would be willing to shell out $100.00 a year for a saltwater fishing license, if the money was properly designated to the preservation of our beloved fish/environment.

Just my 2 cents.
Bruce

I don't think I ever slammed anyone here, just myself. OK well have fun at your seminars.

I was looking at the Weather Channel last night and referencing the log in my head and I knew it was a good night and I knew where they would be...and I could not go because I had orders to process a book to proofread and new products to shoot....
Last night was one of the best theoretical nights of the season....
At least somebody got them....

Your right Joe, it was a one of those nights! hopefully tonights action repeats....

Slipknot · 09-26-2006, 08:19 PM

I ate some fresh striped bass last night and it tasted awesome the way I cooked it. I love fresh fish. I didn't read the whole thread before and didn't know about the questioning of keeping fish. I guess that kind of stuff just comes up every now and then, it's a shame. Alot of members seem to not want to bother posting pics of their catch for fear of being jumped on. I think everything has to be taken with a grain of salt. get some thicker skin too.

spence · 09-26-2006, 08:23 PM

I don't think #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& is afraid of posting pics

A wild striper is a real treat considering how much you would have to pay to get a primo fish that fresh in a market. Personally I don't understand how people can freeze them...but each to their own...

I never said you did! anything you want to know or if I can help, just shoot me a PM! Ok, no problems

Sorry, I am on clammers pc, getting ready to head out in a few!

piemma · 09-27-2006, 04:34 AM

First, Lord know Billy and I have had our differences. That being said, why is it anyone else can post pics of fish and no one bitches? #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& post a pic and all the high an mighty come out of the woodwork.
Bill is one of the most genuine people on this board. As Clammer siad, "he's his own worst enemy".

I'll tell you guys something. I was diagnosed with the BIG C last year. have been battling it a year and a half. Chemo, operations the whole thing. That's the reason I bought the boat. Bill Nolan has been there everytime I asked him for a favor. Put the boat in, take the boat out help put a GPS in, whatever. He has been there for me. Never asked anything in return. He does more good than anyone will ever know and doesn't ask for anything back and he's the best eel fisherman I have ever seen.
So for all you panty wearing do gooders who don't want to kill the poor little fishy, stop all your griping and go out and try to beat the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&!! My bet is you can't and that's why you complain....you are just envious of what a good fisherman this guy.

NIB · 09-27-2006, 05:40 AM

I feel his pain.
It ain't easy bein The Notorius NIB either.

Paul hope all is ok with u an u beat this thing...
By the way i don't wear panties i wear a man thong..
