My fault, and I apologize. Actually I'm glad you posted it because it helps me to know there are big fish around (albeit 30 miles by water from where I fish). What I really was hoping to accomplish was to get one of you guys to release a near dead permanently brain damaged cow, so when it recovers I got some small chance at catching it on the wooden crap I'm throwing. By the way, does snagging count? |

Joe P,
I apologize that you misunderstood me. I meant it the way Dave understood it. I did not mean to ruffle you. I just meant that until you have a fatty laying at your feet and experience it and the emotion and the adrenlin, it is hard for someone to say to someone else what to do with the fish. That is all. Sorry pal.

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus

Its a shame big fish pictures can't just be enjoyed on their own. If people want to beat the conservation drum (a noble cause IMO ) why not start another thread. why spoil the thread showing such a spectacular catch?
Anyway , I also think its bunk about nobody believes you unless you show the dead fish around tackle shops. WHO CARES WHO BELIEVES YOU???? You know you caught them. Nobody else matters.

This topic comes up frequent enough and the resulting pi$$ing contest is almost as reliable.... Had I not been over on Cuttyhunk I would have moderated it a lot quicker.
Please keep the personal attacks to a minimum or even better - no personal attacks at all. DISCUSS this, instead, in a more civilized manner please without the uneccesary and unsubstantiated name calling. Discuss this like men, not like kids on a playground.
If the law needs to be changed make the necessary changes to the law. When the law needs discussion, discuss the law. No need to drag out a threadwar.
My personal opinions on this - Kudos to the guys that got 50s, 60s, and almost 50s this weekend - helluva good day on the water. Also, kudos to all that GOT OUT and enjoyed the water's edge or depth - that is more important and any SIZE of a fish. To those that kept or released them - that is your choice but keep in mind that if one gets a big bass it is your choice to bring it to a weigh in shop and your choice to weigh it in. It is not necessary to weigh it in just to prove you caught it.
