Admission of illegal fishing!

upthesaukee · 09-11-2009, 05:07 PM

Bag limit is 2 per day. Fishing and releasing unharmed all day.

Here in streams, and elsewhere from VT to Alaska, we have caught 10 to 20 fish on up to literally a hundred fish (grayling in Alaska). All catch and release, my hooks are barbless, I don't eat fish, but I enjoy fishing.

ELchase never said he kept 9 fish.

Pardon the hunting reference, but a little quick on the trigger on that one, AW.

Do any of the towns still have stockades in the center square?

Why did this get moved to speed limits? Was he catching fish to fast?

BTW his post says nothing about releasing.

Of course his post says nothing about keeping the fish either. Why the jump to conclude the worst? You know the old saying: "Some see the glass as half full, some see it as half empty. I see half a glass and wonder who has the next round."

True enough, but my point is that based on what he said...not what he didn't say...he violated the law.

The speed limit supporters are doing their best to fool the public into thinking the lake is so much safer with the speed limit. In this case, the picture of tranquility on the lake landing fish after fish is the smoke job. It implies you could not do this last year before the "cowboys" were pushed off the lake.

Just more mush from the supporters.

You are right, if it is about fishing, why is it here?

If you were a fisherman, you'd know the difference between catching fish and the bag limit. Instead, you jump to a conclusion and now whine "well he didn't say he released them" waaah waaah. Too funny.

Perhaps you should write a post on the fishing thread that tells fisherman how they should disclose their catch so you don't get confused when you read their fishing reports.

And while you're at it you should go to Fishlakewinni.com and jump on all those posters who give fishing reports too. OMG, apparently they're all breaking the law too because they don't meet your standard of disclosure when they tell what they caught (and released). We are all so grateful for your bringing to light this illegal activity happening right under our noses. Who knew?! LOL.

Oh, and what about a fishing license? ElChase didn't say he had one. Whoa. Maybe another crime was committed! Was his boat registered? Does he have his boater certificate? Did he have all his PFDs? Without more complete disclosure, we all must conclude that a whole host of illegal activity was going on that day.

Yep, I know what a bag limit is. I made a comment based on WHAT EL CHASE WROTE, not on what YOU THINK HE MEANT.

I don't recall complaining or whining I just made a comment. It is you guys that have been whinning that El Chase meant this...or El Chase meant that...boo hoo.

BTW I put the comments in the Fish Tales section of the forum. I did not move it here to speed limits and I fail to see its relavance to speed limits.

The ONLY reason you started this post is because you don't like ELChase's views on the speed limit so it probably belongs here, or in the recycle bin. This was simply an unfounded personal attack that backfired on the original poster. I'm surprised Don didn't just delete it altogether.

Airwaves · 09-19-2009, 01:26 PM

So now in addition to KNOWING what El Chase MEANT to say, you KNOW what I was thinking! What are tonight's winning Powerball numbers?

And while you are at it why don't you recap what happened during school vacation week in 1994 that got my interest up in fishing limits and outrage that I feel against people who ignore those limits...I'm really interested to see how much YOU KNOW about my motives!
