Someone near and dear to me loves to load my fridge with blues and was very put out when I asked him not to catch bluefish for me. That I'd prefer that he didn't kill them at all if he wasn't going to keep them. He looked at me like he was gutshot. When I tried to explain that if I wanted bluefish, I'd catch my own, it only made things worse. But I don't have a puddle of fishblood in the bottom of my fridge anymore.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

I wouldn't complain but I also wouldn't accept it. I would like to think I would be polite though and not piss the guy or gal off who offered....

F that! If I was looking for a blue to for the table and someone offered one I would take it. Now a Striper is another story.
I agree that I want to catch the fish myself but if I was there on a meat hunt I would take it.
IMO the person who told you that is an ass.

A couple of my buddies don't accept the offers as well. To them it is not just the eating, but the whole experience of catching it youself, cleaning, cooking and then eating. To each their own, I wouldn't take offense if i was turned down, just put her back and keep casting.

Thats exactly what I am saying. Good reasons from everyone either way. Tight lines. |

I usually only keep fish that I caught (unless you're talking cod and haddock).
THey guy was honest and it didn't cost you anything, I wouldn't sweat it. SB's 'Clammer' might be pissed there's another blue swimming around, but thats another story.
