would you complain if some one offered you a fish?

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.

why is it another story if it was a Striper?

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.

excepting fish from someone is like shopping in a fish market . If I want one I will catch my own . but I would have just said no thanks .
