If you believe even an ounce of what #^&#^&#^&#^& Russell wrote,George Mendoza was satan as far as illegal striper fishing went.

Being a local and knowing so many...what should I say?

Norm, I assume you're talking about Striper Wars - vaguely recognize the name, don't know the title of the book and didn't know he referenced George.

I would guess that's the reason I got waylaid by these ****ing gibronies after my earlier post. I'll have to read it at some point to see what Russell has to say.

I've known George since I was old enough to walk although I've never spoken with him personally until that interview. I have both friends and family who are - or were - commercial fisherman, anti-Christs to some of you.

I'm not recanting in my agreement on his statement on pollution, which was my point.

Regardless, I'd still rather listen to what he has to say - since he walked the walk, whether I agree with all of his views or not - than any number of you internet experts and self-appointed leading authorities relying on half-assed Google searches.

If you disagree with me, then we can agree to disagree.

If you don't like the cut of my jib, go **** yourself.

Period. End of story. That's all she wrote.

Basswipe,
I know #^&#^&#^&#^& Russell, read his book, and lived through all the contentious fisheries meetings during that time. #^&#^&#^&#^& Russell always took notes and his book portrays a very accurate history of those meetings and he was at almost every one of them. Both George and #^&#^&#^&#^& were very passionate about their views. Stripers Forever may be a little mis-guided in seeking gamefish status but I truely admire those people (just as I admired Bob Pond) for being passionate about protecting striped bass.
