OTW is just another industry exploiting the fishery.

They could easily come up with a better way to do it. They weigh stations should be able to post up the weight the day the fish was weighed. And the board would be updated immediately rather than a month later. And anyone who weighs a smaller fish than the top leaders could be penalized. Doesn't make sense to have such a huge contest and have the most outdated method of running a leaderboard

I like how in the RI fishing report they mention that they hope people are letting the 50's go, meanwhile they sponsor a kill tournament. They can't have it both ways. Totally hypocritical.

. So 11 fish at the end of their life were taken. God forbid we concern ourselves with the thousands of good eating fish taken every weekend. Just because its a fifty guys get their pants in a ruffle.

Vic, there are lots of us getting it done. Just some of us are not killing every big fish we get. Personally, my partner and I have killed maybe 4 fish out of probably well over 100 legal fish. Those 4 fish were gut hooked. All were eaten.

By the way, I have no problem with guys keeping fish. It's why we do this thing.

spence · 06-21-2013, 01:29 PM

Retards? Fags?

I guess a conspiracy theory brings out the best in people.

when you go out to stick fish with hooks, some are going to die. and when you spend money on gear, boats ect, its your right to take a fish home. Its the nature of the beast. its what we do. 1 @ 36" and be done with the BS.

That 50 is legit. When the wind lays down ill be out to stick my own 50 by any means necessary.

ThrowingTimber · 06-21-2013, 04:08 PM

I'm behind a desk 65 hours a week. I'm happy to see fish pics. It reminds me of what they look like

Agreed. I will never begrudge anyone who keeps their legal limit of fish. Rec or commercial. Hell keep 2 65# fis!! Release the 28-32 inch fish. Do I agree with seeing folks take 28 1/8" Long fish, not personally. But they're within the law.
I'd love to see a table fish and trophy fish type slot limit in ri. But the want just isn't there.. And well the enforcement... Is a joke at best.

I like it when other fishermen do well

good on them! Big fish don't happen accidentally or from lack of preparation or we'd all have multiple 50's and 60's under our belts

again good to see someone's getting it done

Wind has been a PIA most of this week. Thursday morning was hell. This morning wasn't as bad but still crappy.

"Fags" "retarded" Really? How about ignorant?

WESTPORTMAFIA · 06-23-2013, 08:51 PM

Fags, retarded, ignorant. The list goes on. I have 20 slang words for each of the above. Stop being part of the United States of the Sensitive! I know and associate with Fags and Retarded people. And I have blacks as part as my mostly white family. If you are gonna get pissed off about racial or retard jokes because a family member fits the description you may as well just become a born again Christian. And I have no jokes about born agains at all just true stories!

Guys I get It I am by far the least PC person on the planet. I know when you use that word you are throwing an insult to someone who does not fall in the category. However if you spend time with an individual with special needs regardless of who they are the word starts to work its way as far as possible from your vocabulary. It is what it is. But at some point in time utilizing a word like that as an insult you have to realize that people with special needs might hear that word muttered about them under others breath or to their face etc. the word takes on a whole new level of ignorance.

Thank you Jackbass. It bothered me also - I never thought I'd see those words here.

Likewise. I'm regularly surprised that people still use that word.

(also very far from politically correct).

Rockfish9 · 06-24-2013, 08:55 AM

pictures can be decieving... I've had pictures of 20lb class that looked like they were 50+.... I've had pictures of fish in the high 50's that looked every bit of it... fish in the low 50's that looked like they were 30lbs.... some one posted an old picture here ( from 1986)of me in Surfland with my 61... imediatly there were several "photo shop" claimes... why because the picture was black and white... the original is on the "big boy" wall in surfland ( a long with 4 other 50+ fish pictures of mine)every one needs to chill... as others have said if it is "fraud" they will have to live with it... it's fishing season... time for everyone to step away from the computer and fish.. i know i have..

End of their life only because they were caught. End of their life in the same way a 53 year old guy on this board is at the end of their life. Natural life expectancy for a striped bass is 30 years. 52" and 53" fish are approximately 19 years old. They have almost 40% of their life expectancy remaining. They are rare because ~half the bass in the legal age classes are removed each year. Kill less catch more.
