The West Wall backflip

[JohnR]

Went out for the little ones with my son yesterday (not to the wall though conditions were good for fish there). Glad he did not get to see that.

Some people just don't give a bleep.

I saw the same thing last week. guys catching 11" bass, reeling them up to the top of the wall (where they were standing in sneakers), and then flipping them out to sea. I wanted to give the guy a kick in the ass so he could see what it feels like to hit the water from that height but I swallowed my disgust.

Yes, enjoy and participate in whatever type of fishing but maintain RESPECT of the fish.

I'm amazed at some of the fishing shows with "pros" releasing fish like discarded trash.

Mike we've beat this to death, and I know you handle fish properly.
Backflipping 10", 10" or 40" is not good no matter what your fishing style!!!

I know Bri .

Should know better ;;

I saw a sight a few years ago & if I had a video .& chose to do so ........... It would change most peoples precepition of a true fisherman & surf highliner ... surfice to say .I left to go else where /But told another [very good] fisherman where some fish had just moved on the beach .......... he went & he called me to come back . no thanks //I saw enough .he called back shortly after / stating he too was leaving ,the scene was disgusting ;;
to be honest I never really cared for this guy / but I {did] consider him a good fishermen ........ now / personally , he is neither good fisherman or a good person ;;

it other words IMO his name is now %$%$%$%$%$%$%$

I watched a show on NESN the other day which I care not to promote but occasionally I give it a few minutes. He was tossing small mouths over his shoulders and laughing about it! People see that and think it's cool!

Nearly pissed myself laughing - best response yet!

Consider this whole thread a winter holdover. I bet most people here fish for schoolies and do the right thing. Whew.
